What claims to be the most powerful hydrogen filling station in Europe has been opened in the German city of Düsseldorf by transport company Rheinbahn, Düsseldorf Public Utilities (Stadtwerke Düsseldorf) and public hydrogen refuelling infrastructure company H2 Mobility.
With a daily capacity of up to five tons of hydrogen, the new facility on Höherweg reportedly offers significantly higher performance than conventional stations of the first generation of filling stations in Germany and aims to set new standards in hydrogen mobility.

The patent-pending technology will enable up to three vehicles to be refuelled simultaneously in the future, including buses, trucks, cars, and light commercial vehicles. H2 Mobility, Stadtwerke Düsseldorf and Rheinbahn jointly conceived and implemented the project.
The state government of North Rhine-Westphalia also sees the project as an important building block on the path to decarbonising the transport sector. “In areas that are difficult to electrify, and especially where battery-electric drives reach their limits, hydrogen helps reduce emissions,” said minister of economic affairs and climate protection Mona Neubaur.
