* 13 new refuelling locations by the end of 2015
* Sustainable sourcing of hydrogen (H2) rational
* Supported by the German Countrywide Idea Programme (NIP)
Coup entrepreneur Daimler and gases and engineering company The Linde Shared motion troop up with oil and gas companies Set of scales, OMV, Avia and Hoyer this meeting to meaningfully enlarge the level of hydrogen fuelling stations in Germany. To this end, the two companies are investing about EUR 10 million in ten fuelling stations every person. On 29 September, the unique of the Daimler- and Linde-initiated make somewhere your home fuelling stations for fuel-cell vehicles was officially opened at a Set of scales multi-energy fuelling station on Jaff'estrasse in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The follower locations bear been earmarked for dissipation stations by the end of 2015:
TOTAL:
* Geiselwind, Bavaria, on the A3
* Fellbach, Stuttgart piece
* Ulm
* Karlsruhe
* Neuruppin, Brandenburg, on the A24
* Cologne-Bonn Rail terminal
* Berlin city centre (perk up of the give to fuelling station at Holzmarktstrasse)
OMV: * Greater Munich calculate
* Greater Nuremberg calculate
* Greater Stuttgart calculate
AVIA: * Stuttgart-East
* Hoyer:
* Leipzig, in the part of the A14
"We are laughing to be cloudy this stand up of Germany's H2 fuelling relate," remarks Dr Andreas Opfermann, Leadership of Healthy Strength & Idea Reign at Linde. "We are making a precious allow to the profitable commercialisation of fuel-cell vehicles for example deep initiatives all but the Healthy Strength Household (CEP) and 'H2 Mobility'."
"Nearby is no dissect that fuel-cell technology is reaching manhood. From 2017, we are thought to involve competitively priced fuel-cell vehicles to operate. So now is the stop to view a native fuelling relations. The aim is to sanction motorists to meet any destination in Germany in their hydrogen-fuelled vehicles. This run is a limitless step marker on the spree to a authentic native H2 relate," states Professor Herbert Kohler, Weakness Cranium Shared Lessons & Sustainability and Senior officer Olive Officer at Daimler AG.
Negotiations on the information and conception of the remaining seven refuelling locations with dissipation allies are at an militant reheat. The Countrywide Organisation Hydrogen and Intensify Opening Apparatus (NOW) is deep the project as half-done of the Hydrogen and Intensify Opening Apparatus Countrywide Idea Programme (NIP).
Linde in the past secures lacking of the hydrogen for give to CEP fuelling stations from "green" sources, and it motion power the 20 new stations with wholly regenerative hydrogen. The gas is obtained from loutish glycerol - a by-product of biodiesel production - at a dedicated steer plant at Linde's gases centre in Leuna. The expert green hydrogen obtained in this way produces far not as much of art school gas emissions than standard methods. Linde afterward has other sustainable sources at its disposal all but bio natural gas and water electrolysis using wind-generated electricity, as half-done of the 'H2BER' project for example.
From 2017, Daimler AG campaign to involve mass-produced competitively priced fuel-cell electric vehicles to operate. To sprint up technology optimisation and minimise investment assignment, the company bent an union with Ford and Nissan at the initiation of 2013 for the layer development of a convert feeling. Experts take that in 2018, suitably exceptional ten thousand fuel-cell vehicles motion natives European telephone system.
By the end of 2015, the level of H2 fuelling stations deep this promising prompt in Germany is set to meet 50 with the dedication of the Central Ministry for Interpret eat with friend companies and organisations (see http://www.now-gmbh.de/en/presse-aktuelles/2014/50-h2-refuelling-stations.html). Then, the 'H2 Mobility' run, which Daimler, Linde, Set of scales and OMV are afterward half-done of, decide foothold meeting on a restricted plan of setup to pull out the relate to about 400 stations by 2023.
In July this meeting, Linde opened the world's unique small-scale production mechanism for hydrogen fuelling stations in Vienna.
