Public hydrogen filling stations: The availability of hydrogen at filling stations

Hydrogen mobility continues to evolve in Germany, even though the number of registered vehicles remains low. First fuel-cell trucks and buses are being deployed, particularly in the commercial vehicle and heavy-duty sectors. Here, hydrogen offers compelling advantages, such as long ranges and short refueling times. The goal is to increasingly utilize green hydrogen—derived from renewable energy sources—in the future, thereby contributing to climate protection. The expansion of infrastructure is progressing, laying the foundation for further growth in this sector.

Are you also considering the procurement of fuel cell vehicles for regional or long-distance transport?
You are not sure whether the refuelling possibilities are sufficient?

Hydrogen refuelling is as simple as that

  1. Read in fuel card
  2. Select the fuel hose and thus the pressure level
  3. Open the fuel filler cap, pull off the protective flap and place the nozzle on the filler neck.
  4. Start the refuelling process by pressing a button
  5. Release the lock on the nozzle and hang the nozzle back in the holder.

Have a good journey!

Expanding the H2 Refueling Network—Possibly Right in Your Area?

Anyone looking to refuel fuel-cell commercial vehicles currently encounters significant gaps in the existing refueling network. Together with RWE, we aim to change this: through a joint venture, our goal is to accelerate the expansion of the hydrogen refueling network. RWE will supply the green hydrogen using its electrolysis plants in Lingen, while the Westfalen Group will handle the construction and operation of the refueling infrastructure. Initially, the regional focus will be on North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) and Lower Saxony. This expansion is planned to take place in close coordination with you—regional logistics companies—and is designed to support the market ramp-up. The first locations are slated for development in the vicinity of logistics hubs, with sites along major highways planned for a subsequent phase. The very first hydrogen refueling station—a collaborative project between RWE and Westfalen—will be established in Lingen. This facility will enable a wide range of vehicles—including trucks, buses, refuse trucks, light commercial vehicles, and passenger cars—to refuel with green hydrogen.

  • Are you planning to purchase H2 vehicles?
  • You would have to drive long detours to refuel them, because the current hydrogen filling station network is not sufficient?

What is green hydrogen according to the EU Commission's definition (RED II)?

The abbreviation RED II stands for "Renewable Energy Directive II" and refers to Directive EU 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources. The directive also contains requirements for the transport sector. For example, a minimum quota of 14 % of renewable energies is to be achieved for road and rail transport by 2030: This means that more vehicles with alternative drives based on renewable energies are to be on the road. This also includes fuel cell vehicles that are fuelled with green hydrogen. The EU Commission defines "green" hydrogen as hydrogen produced by electrolysis with electricity from renewable energies. Various conditions are attached to the production of electricity and hydrogen. For example, the electricity should in future come from newly built plants and be produced in the same hour as the hydrogen.
