Berlin, 11 January 2023 | The H2 MOBILITY Deutschland hydrogen station at the Shell filling station Tempelhofer Weg 102 was opened today in the presence of Federal Transport Minister Dr. Volker Wissing: Fuel cell trucks, waste collectors, cars, and light commercial vehicles can now refuel with hydrogen (H2) here. The Tempelhofer Weg hydrogen filling station is one of Germany’s most efficient station as of today and is central to the further ramp-up of hydrogen mobility in the German capital: Nowhere else is the volume of H2 vehicles growing as fast as in Berlin. Federal Minister Dr Volker Wissing: “Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are an important building block for climate-friendly mobility. For this reason, the Federal Ministry for Transport is funding the deployment of a basic network of publicly accessible hydrogen filling stations. We are taking the lead and laying the foundations for climate-neutral road transport. For people and businesses to increasingly rely on alternative drivetrains, we need robust and widely available infrastructure. Hydrogen-powered vehicles will only be used if hydrogen filling stations are available across the country. We have joined forces with industry to achieve this goal.” At the Tempelhofer Weg station, not only the BSR waste collectors will be refuelling in future, but also the fleet of “H2 move Berlin”, which is to grow to over 200 Toyota Mirai in the driving service by summer 2023. In addition, the first hydrogen trucks will be delivered to customers nearby, including in Hylane rental service, in Berlin in the spring of 2023. Wolfgang Wüllhorst, Head of Fleet Management, Berliner Stadtreinigung: “Putting applications such as waste disposal for a transformed climate-friendly, modern mobility on to the road on a daily basis in a stable way  requires enormous efforts and a lot of expertise at all levels. I am delighted that the first truly high-performance H2 filling station is now coming online in Berlin. This supports us in the transformation and provides a necessary infrastructural service improvement for our operational processes.” Thomas Mohnke, Senior Executive Partner SafeDriver Group, operator of the “H2 moves Berlin” fleet: “Hydrogen is also an ideal fuel for cars and vans in continuous operation. Refuelling takes just a few minutes, the ranges are suitable for everyday use and multi-shift operation can be implemented at any time. Public transport authorities in particular are dependent on reliable operating conditions around the clock.” Sara Schiffer, Managing Director Hylane: “Our tenants have been on the road with hydrogen trucks in Germany since the end of last year. The expansion of the refuelling infrastructure gives our customers increasing flexibility in planning their routes and ensures a reliable hydrogen supply through regional redundancies. This is important because we need more vehicles with sustainable drives, especially in heavy goods transport, in order to achieve climate protection targets.” After completion of the commissioning process, the hydrogen filling station is now regularly available for refuelling hydrogen trucks at 350 bar (H2 buses and trucks) and at 700 bar (H2 passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and waste collectors). The Tempelhofer Weg hydrogen station is conveniently located near the city motorway 100 and the A 113 near the BSR service yard in the south of Berlin. It is Berlin’s fifth hydrogen station. Europe’s leading operator of hydrogen filling stations, H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, is responsible for the hydrogen filling station’s construction and operation. The filling station technology at the new H2 filling station is supplied by the industrial gases and technology company Air Liquide. Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director of H2 MOBILITY Germany: “With hydrogen at 350 bar, heavy commercial vehicles with e-drives can already refuel at megawatt speeds today – for example here at Tempelhofer Weg in Berlin. Our goal is to add up to 120 more locations across Germany in the next four years.” Hydrogen is used to power FCEVs (fuel cell electric vehicles). Their advantages: no noise and no pollutants, but the same use, speed, and range as vehicles with petrol or diesel engines. Hydrogen cars have ranges of up to 700 kilometres and refuel in just three to five minutes; waste collectors, like conventional waste collectors, need about 15 minutes to refuel, for a range of up to 400 kilometres. The construction of the hydrogen filling station was funded with a total of EUR 1.3 million by the Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport under its National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Programme. The funding directive is coordinated by NOW GmbH and implemented by the Jülich Project Management (PtJ). The hydrogen filling station network in Germany Fuel-cell vehicle drivers can currently refuel cars, smaller commercial vehicles, and utility vehicles such as waste collectors at 700 bar at nearly 100 public hydrogen filling stations in Germany. 350-bar refuelling for buses and trucks is also possible at some of these stations. H2 MOBILITY continues to expand the hydrogen filling station infrastructure in focus regions and along the TEN-T corridors in line with demand. In addition, existing 700-bar hydrogen filling stations will be expanded short-term to include 350-bar pumps.

Wesseling, 18 August 2022 | Today, partners Shell and H2 MOBILITY Germany commissioned the filling station at the Wesseling Shell station at Ahrstrasse 99. Drivers of zero-emission fuel-cell passenger cars now have another refuelling option in the Cologne area. The station is conveniently located on the A555 in the Wesseling industrial zone on the direct route from Cologne-Bonn. It complements the focus region, where hydrogen (H2) refuelling options already exist in Cologne-Frechen and at the Cologne-Bonn Airport. The company responsible for building and operating the hydrogen filling station is H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, a key player in driving forward the expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The filling station technology at the new H2 filling station comes from the technology and gas company Linde and is state of the art. Hydrogen offers the possibility of expanding the fuel supply in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way, because hydrogen – especially if it is produced using renewable sources – can help to significantly reduce climate-damaging CO2 emissions. Operating a hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle causes neither local pollutants nor carbon dioxide emissions. The advantage of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles: short refuelling times for long ranges. The additional station reaffirms Shell’s commitment to the hydrogen business. The company intends to become a leading provider of green H2 for industrial and transport customers. Among other things, Shell operates a 10 MW PEM electrolysis for the production of green hydrogen plant at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland in the immediate vicinity of the filling station. For the construction of the hydrogen station in Wesseling, H2 MOBILITY Germany received funding of at least €950,000 under the National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Programme (NIP) of Germany’s Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV). H2 MOBILITY Germany H2 MOBILITY Germany is creating the conditions for unlimited clean, quiet, and uncomplicated hydrogen mobility in the European GSA nations: The company is in charge of building and operating a network of public hydrogen filling stations that enables electric mobility for light- to medium-duty commercial H2 vehicles (e.g. vans, buses, trucks, waste collection vehicles), as well as H2 passenger cars, without range restrictions and with short refuelling times. With the market ramp-up of the first commercial fuel-cell vehicles, existing hydrogen filling stations are quickly being expanded and new, larger filling stations being built where demand is expected to increase.

Erlangen 2 July 2022 | Drivers of fuel-cell vehicles can now refuel in Erlangen. H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, together with its shareholder Linde and partners Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies and SiemensEnergy, has launched ‘optimisation-mode’ operations at a filling station in Erlangen. Besides offering two pressure levels, the station uses electrolytically produced hydrogen (H2) and innovative Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology. The opening will take place as part of the WOCHE DES WASSERSTOFFS SÜD (HYDROGEN WEEK SOUTH). The hydrogen filling station at Henri-Dunant-Strasse 2 on the Siemens AG campus benefits from the region’s many activities related to hydrogen production and storage. For instance, Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies supplies the filling station with green hydrogen, bound in liquid organic carrier material (LOHC), which is stored at the station in conventional underground tanks. The Hydrogenious release system installed at the station handles the recovery and feeding-in of the LOHC-bound hydrogen. The station allows for 700-bar refuelling of cars and light commercial vehicles, as well as 350-bar refuelling for vehicles like buses. Erlangen was selected as a location in H2 MOBILITY Deutschland’s second funding round, the decisive factor being the city’s commitment to operating various hydrogen vehicles, including waste-collection vehicles and buses. Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy Hubert Aiwanger: “The success of Bavarian energy research is coming to fruition today with the opening of the world’s first hydrogen filling station to use the LOHC technology we are funding, and is setting standards for the upcoming market ramp-up. Thanks to LOHC technology, hydrogen can now be easily stored on site on a significant scale and also reused. With this, we have achieved a breakthrough.” Erlangen’s mayor Florian Janik said: “Hydrogen is a very promising future technology. In areas where traffic cannot be avoided, it can help to noticeably reduce CO2 emissions. We are pleased to be taking a pioneering step towards establishing the necessary infrastructure here in Erlangen with the opening of the hydrogen filling station.” City Manager Jörg Volleth is likewise pleased about the expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure in Erlangen. “The opening of the hydrogen filling station gives us an additional opportunity to make an important contribution to climate protection by converting our municipal vehicle fleet to zero-emissions drive types as well. We are therefore planning to expand our fleet of special-purpose vehicles with two fuel-cell vehicles in the next few years, and review a more extensive switch in this area.” The network of H2 filling stations continues to grow. As of today, there are 95 H2 stations in Germany, 21of them in Bavaria. The Erlangen filling station is conveniently located close to the Fürth/Erlangen motorway junction and thus to the A73 and A3. Alongside Berg bei Hof, Nuremberg and Fürth, the Erlangen site brings the total number of hydrogen filling station locations in the region to eight. The company responsible for building and operating the hydrogen filling station is H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, a key player in driving forward the expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The filling station technology comes from the industrial gas and technology company Linde. The facility holds around 400 kilograms of hydrogen and is state of the art. Hydrogen is used to power fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Its advantages are: no noise and no pollutants while still offering the same ease of use, speed, and range as cars with petrol or diesel engines. Fuel-cell electric cars have ranges of 500 to 700 kilometres and are refuelled in just three to five minutes. Hydrogen thus offers the possibility of expanding the fuel supply in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way, because hydrogen – especially if it is produced using renewable sources – can help to significantly reduce climate-damaging CO₂ emissions. For the construction of the hydrogen station in Erlangen, H2 MOBILITY Deutschland received funding of €984,898 under the National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Programme (NIP) of Germany’s Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV).

Berlin, 29 March 2022 | H2 MOBILITY Deutschland announces today a €110m investment round, provided by Hy24, the world’s largest clean hydrogen infrastructure investment platform, alongside significant investments from existing industrial shareholders. Next to Hy24 managed fund, Air Liquide, Daimler Truck, Hyundai, Linde, OMV, Shell, and TotalEnergies contributed to the capital raise. The investment will be used to upgrade the existing network and build new stations to meet rising hydrogen demand for commercial and intensive use vehicles. The new shareholder was presented today in Berlin in the presence of Ismail Ertug, Member of the European Parliament and rapporteur in the Transport Committee. Hy24 will invest €70m alongside H2 MOBILITY’s existing shareholders who are investing together a further €40m. The investment will be executed by Hy24 through the Clean H2 Infra Fund, which is to date the world’s largest hydrogen fund. H2 MOBILITY, a leading operator of hydrogen refuelling stations which already operates over 90 stations across Germany, intends to use the funding to further expand its network to 300 stations by 2030 – becoming the backbone of zero-carbon private and commercial traffic in Europe. Of these, over 200 will be large-scale refuelling stations capable of meeting demand for zero-carbon, heavy-duty and long-haul transportation on the European Continent. Heavy mobility is one of the most challenging sectors of the economy to decarbonise, and hydrogen-powered vehicles offer the best solution, as they can refuel quickly and cover long distances without sacrificing payload. The expansion of H2 MOBILITY Deutschland’s network will be focused on several high-traffic transportation corridors, giving it a cornerstone role in the future mobility system of the European Union. In a sign of existing demand for hydrogen vehicles, many of the company’s new projects will be developed hand-in-hand with off-takers, public authorities, and fleet operators – guaranteeing baseline offtake for the stations and a significant step towards a profitable and self-sustained refuelling network. H2 MOBILITY Deutschland with its track record of building over 50 projects and operating over 90 stations has the institutional knowledge and understanding necessary for practical hydrogen infrastructure development, reinforced by its existing shareholder base of leading energy and mobility players. Hy24’s investment marks the first such move by any international investment fund into the hydrogen mobility space – and it will seek to use its leading industrial and financial expertise to support the business case for the sector, helping it to profitably achieve sustainability goals. Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director of H2 MOBILITY: “Green Hydrogen will become a game changer on the journey to replace fossil fuels in transport and to reduce our dependency on extracting resources from our planet’s surface. I am excited that we can combine the skills of H2 MOBILITY with the significant capital raised in this round to accelerate the transition to green hydrogen in mobility and transport! Pierre-Etienne Franc, the CEO of Hy24, said: “H2 MOBILITY Deutschland is leading the way in developing the necessary European infrastructure for low-carbon intensive, and heavy mobility.

Kreis Düren, 06 October 2021 | Buses and cars will soon be able to refuel with hydrogen at the Shell filling station “Im großen Tal 1” in Düren. District Administrator Wolfgang Spelthahn, Falk Schulte-Wintrop (H2 MOBILITY) and Josef Busch, Managing Director of the Shell brand partner company PM Pfennings, have now pointed out the possibilities of hydrogen in the transport sector in a joint statement on the occasion of the start of construction of the newly built H2 filling station in the industrial estate. The builder and operator is H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, the technology comes from Air Liquide. At present, hydrogen is mainly used to refuel electric vehicles with fuel cells. Their advantages: no noise, no pollutants, but the same use, speed and range as vehicles with petrol or diesel engines. Hydrogen vehicles have ranges of 500 to 700 kilometres and refuel in only three to five minutes; buses, like conventional buses, need about 15 minutes to refuel and thus achieve a range of about 300 kilometres. In the medium term, however, commercial vehicle manufacturers also want to bring fuel-cell-powered vehicles onto the market. The hydrogen filling station in Düren is scheduled for completion at the end of 2021. It is conveniently located on the A4 motorway and complements the 18 hydrogen filling stations in NRW to date. As of today, the district of Düren has ordered five hydrogen buses and already uses two H2 vehicles in its fleet. The first hydrogen buses will arrive and operate in the Düren district by January 2022. From then on, five more buses will be added each year. The fleet of the Düren district will also be expanded with more H2 vehicles. In addition, some municipalities such as Nörvenich and Jülich as well as private companies are now also driving hydrogen cars. Next year the district of Düren will start producing green hydrogen on the basis of solar energy at the Brainergy Park in Jülich. District Administrator Wolfgang Spelthahn: “Today we have reached another important milestone. We are firmly convinced of hydrogen technology and plan to build four more H2 filling stations distributed throughout the district.” PM Pfennings also relies on hydrogen and plans to build an H2 station in the district of Düren, especially for heavy-duty transport: “It is for heavy-duty applications that hydrogen offers the greatest advantages – short refuelling times, long ranges and low weight,” says Josef Busch. “With the station in Düren, we are closing the supply gap between Cologne and Aachen and thus on the way to Belgium and the Netherlands,” said Falk Schulte-Wintrop, responsible for strategic corporate development at H2 MOBILITY. There are currently already 91 hydrogen stations nationwide. To refuel with hydrogen in Germany, you need the H2 MOBILITY card, which can be easily ordered online at H2 LIVE. The federal government is funding the construction of the hydrogen filling station in Düren through the National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Programme (nip) with about 1.3 to 1.4 million euros. About H2 MOBILITY H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for the nationwide development of a hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. From 2021 onwards, further stations will be set up where there is demand for commercial vehicles and where a public filling station makes sense for a growing network of filling stations for passenger cars. H2 MOBILITY takes on all tasks – planning, construction, operation and marketing – that are necessary for successful network expansion and operation. The shareholders of H2 MOBILITY are Air Liquide, Daimler, Hyundai, Linde, OMV, Shell and TotalEnergies.

Braunschweig 14 Jun 2021 | While various large-scale projects for the production of green hydrogen (H2) are about to commence in Germany, the hydrogen user side is also growing continuously. The nationwide network of hydrogen filling stations for fuel-cells  passenger cars now comprises 91 stations. As part of the WOCHE DES WASSERSTOFFS NORD 2021 (‘Week of Hydrogen  North’), Lower Saxony’s Minister of Economics, Labour, Transport and Digitalisation Dr Bernd Althusmann and Braunschweig’s Mayor Ulrich Markurth today visited the H2 MOBILITY facility at the Shell station on Hamburger Strasse in Braunschweig. The filling station technology comes from the gas and tech company Air Liquide. WOCHE DES WASSERSTOFFS NORD 2021, a week celebrating hydrogen that is sponsored by the five North German federal states, has the aim of communicating hydrogen in an appealing way across all sectors. At an H2 filling station, like the one at the Shell station in Braunschweig, people can experience hydrogen mobility first-hand. Dr Bernd Althusmann, Minister for Economics, Labour, Transport and Digitalisation of the State of Lower Saxony, said at a press briefing: “Lower Saxony offers the right environment for developing a full-scale hydrogen economy. We need to exploit the outstanding potential of this molecule much more extensively and gradually harness it. Our state can become a role model and technology leader on the path towards climate-neutral mobility and economy, without losing sight of Lower Saxony as an industrial hub. This also definitely includes the possibilities that hydrogen opens up in the transport sector. For road-based hydrogen mobility, a good network of filling stations is an important milestone.” Braunschweig’s Mayor Ulrich Markurth emphasised: “As a mobility centre and as one of the most research-intensive regions in Europe, we have numerous interesting research approaches and projects here on the topic of hydrogen and mobility. With regional activities and networks, we are endeavouring to connect the existing activities and players even better with each other in order to create synergies for research and development. Hydrogen filling stations, as a key infrastructure component, are an important building block in this. Hydrogen as an energy carrier, including with regard to mobility. It enables the storage of electrical energy, in large quantities and over long periods of time. Its use makes sense particularly where electrification is not feasible. This applies to heavy goods vehicles, ships and air traffic, as well as special industrial processes such as steel production. Fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEV) are powered by hydrogen. They can be used in the same way and achieve comparable speeds and ranges as vehicles with petrol or diesel engines.  However, their engines produce no noise or pollutants. With ranges of 500 to 700 kilometres, H₂ cars can be refuelled in just three to five minutes. Hydrogen offers the possibility of expanding the fuel supply in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way. Because hydrogen, especially if it is produced with renewable energy, can help to significantly reduce climate-damaging CO₂ emissions. The hydrogen filling station network in Germany is becoming increasingly dense. There are already H₂ stations at six locations in Lower Saxony, apart from Braunschweig they are in Hanover, Laatzen, Wolfsburg, Osnabrück, and Stuhr. Another one is under construction in Oldenburg. In the months ahead, H2 MOBILITY Germany will reach its first expansion target of 100 hydrogen stations. Passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (e.g. vans) can be refuelled with hydrogen at all H₂ filling stations. Buses can also be refuelled at nine locations. From 2021 on, further stations will be built where demand for commercial vehicles is expected in the short term and where a public filling station makes sense in a growing network of hydrogen filling stations. The Braunschweig facility was already commissioned in November 2020 by H2 MOBILITY Deutschland and its shareholders Shell and Air Liquide, and holds around 200 kilograms of hydrogen. This is enough to refuel 50 vehicles a day. In the first six months, it has already dispensed more than half a tonne of hydrogen – which translates to around 50,000 kilometres of CO₂-free driving. For the construction of the hydrogen station in Braunschweig, H2 MOBILITY received funding from the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure’s National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Programme (NIP) . About Shell Shell’s goal is to become a net-zero emissions energy company by 2050, in harmony with society. Shell is investing billions of dollars globally in low-carbon energy, including charging stations for electric vehicles, hydrogen, renewables, and biofuels. Shell’s other hydrogen activities: The energy company is active along the entire value chain for green H₂ – from renewable electricity to electrolysis to filling stations – and has plans for industrial applications and sustainable aviation fuel with the goal of becoming the German leader in green hydrogen by 2030. To this end, Shell is working on various large-scale projects, such as Refhyne, a 10-megawatt electrolysis plant at the Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland, which is nearing completion and whose capacity the company would like to quickly increase by a factor of ten. In Hamburg, Shell is a participant in the Green Energy Hub, where 100 MW of electrolysis is to be built at the Moorburg power plant site in cooperation with Mitsubishi, Vattenfall and Hamburg Wärme. Shell is thinking and planning on an even larger scale as part of the AquaVentus alliance of companies for the construction of an offshore wind farm with 10 gigawatts of generation capacity, offshore electrolysis for the production of 1 million tonnes of green hydrogen, and pipelines from Helgoland to Doggerbank.

Berlin, 28 May 2021 | The goal is a common, European hydrogen market. To create this, 22 countries have called for the submission of project outlines for funding under the “Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI)”. Over 230 applications were submitted in Germany alone. 62 are now in the second stage of the selection process. Among them is the application from H2 MOBILITY Germany.  H2 MOBILITY has applied for the extended expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure in Germany under the project name SENECA. As an operator of more than 90 hydrogen stations, the company is already creating the basis for a ramp-up of hydrogen mobility and can thus benefit investments in numerous companies in the automotive industry. The objective of the IPCEI project outline is now the use of hydrogen (H2) with a focus on commercial vehicles through the gradual development of a suitable H2 refueling infrastructure at central logistics locations and trans-European corridors. In a first phase, existing 700 bar hydrogen refueling stations for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles along the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) will be extended by a 350 bar interface. In this way, an initial supply infrastructure for commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses with ranges of up to 500 km and a tank volume of approx. 40 kg of hydrogen will be created quickly and flexibly. By 2024, up to 500 additional hydrogen commercial vehicles can be supplied in Germany. At the same time, the framework conditions will be created and the infrastructure development for trucks with ranges >800km and requirements >60kg will be advanced. New refueling stations are to be built at selected locations by 2026 to meet the hydrogen demand of all H2 commercial vehicles around logistics centers and metropolitan regions in line with demand. H2 MOBILITY is now participating in matchmaking at the European level in the second procedural stage of the IPCEI. The aim here is to exchange information and bring partners together. The goal of the joint European efforts is not to subsidize individual projects with model character, but entire systems.   About H2 MOBILITY H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for the nationwide development of a hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The initial goal is to operate 100 hydrogen stations in seven German metropolitan areas (Hamburg, Berlin, Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Munich) and along connecting trunk roads and highways.

The process for refuelling hydrogen vehicles is intuitive and similar to refuelling with natural gas. A range of 500 to 700 kilometres is possible with a refuelling time of just three to five minutes. To refuel with hydrogen in Germany, users need the H2 MOBILITY Card, which can be easily ordered online at www.h2.live.On board the H2 vehicle, a fuel cell generates electricity from the hydrogen, which then powers an electric motor without producing harmful emissions. Since hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis from water using renewable electricity, it is seen as a central link between the energy and transport transition. In addition to its use in passenger cars, the light molecule is also suitable as an energy carrier for e-mobility in the commercial vehicles sector. Since 2002, TOTAL Deutschland has been active in research and pilot projects to develop the hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen vehicles can currently refuel at 24 stations in the TOTAL network in Germany. The next hydrogen filling station is currently being built in Freiburg. SAARBRÜCKEN: The newest H2 filling station is also the first in the German state of Saarland and is located at the TOTAL station Burbacher Str. 50 in Saarbrücken. It entered into its optimisation phase – a standard procedure for commissioning – on 30 March 2021. This means that the H2 filling station is now regularly available for refuelling hydrogen cars at 700 bar. The technology comes from Air Liquide, manufacturer of systems and gases. The Saarbrücken H2 filling station can easily be expanded with 350 bar technology for the refuelling of commercial vehicles such as buses. The filling station is located directly on the A620 motorway and will not only be an important location factor for hydrogen mobility for the city of Saarbrücken and the Saarland in the future, but will also close a gap far away from the hydrogen centres of Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt and Stuttgart. NEURUPPIN: In December 2020, the hydrogen station at the Autohof on the B167 motorway near Neuruppin entered the optimisation phase of its operations start-up. Built by TOTAL, the H2 facility is operated by the joint venture H2 MOBILITY Deutschland. The filling station is equipped with Linde Ionic Compressor technology. Hydrogen is sold in kilogrammes. One kilo is enough for a journey of about 100 kilometres and currently costs 9.50 euros throughout Germany. This makes the fuel costs comparable to those of conventional vehicles. With its close proximity to the A24 motorway, the station is an important link for journeys between Hamburg and Berlin.The hydrogen filling stations in Saarbrücken and Neuruppin were funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) under the National Innovation Programme NIP. H2 MOBILITY H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for establishing a nationwide hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The first target is to operate 100 hydrogen stations in seven German metropolitan areas (Hamburg, Berlin, Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Munich) as well as along connecting motorways and highways. At all stations, cars and light commercial vehicles (vans) can refuel with up to 5 kg (in some cases up to 8 kg) of hydrogen at 700 bar. From 2021 on, more stations will be built wherever there is a demand for commercial vehicles and a public filling station makes sense for a growing network of filling stations for cars.

Irschenberg, 05. February 2021 | Drivers of fuel-cell vehicles (FCEV) can refuel at an ever-increasing number of filling stations: H2 MOBILITY Deutschland and its shareholders OMV and Air Liquide have now commissioned a hydrogen (H2) station in Irschenberg. The network of H2 filling stations is growing. As of today, there are 90 hydrogen filling stations in Germany. The expansion will be continued according to demand. The expansion will focus on regions including the Rhine/Ruhr and Rhine/Main metropolitan areas, as well as Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Nuremberg, Stuttgart and the important connecting arteries. There are already 18 H2 filling stations in Bavaria. The new facility at the OMV filling station, at Wendling 14 in Irschenberg, is conveniently situated on the federal road 472, in the immediate vicinity of the A8. It thus closes an important gap between Munich and Salzburg / Innsbruck.. “We are delighted that the municipality of Irschenberg, with its central location, can once again be a site for emerging energies,” said Mayor Klaus Meixner on the occasion of the commissioning. “Compared to fossil fuels, hydrogen offers many advantages. If we want alternative drives to be used beyond combustion engines, we must significantly expand the infrastructure. That is why I welcome the fact that in future it will also be possible to fill up with hydrogen in the district of Miesbach,” says Ilse Aigner, President of the Bavarian State Parliament.. Hydrogen is used to power fuel-cell electric vehicles. Their advantages: no noise, no pollutants, but the same utility, speed, and range as cars with petrol or diesel engines. Hydrogen vehicles have ranges of 500 to 700 kilometres and refuel in just three to five minutes. The filling-station technology comes from the gas and technology company Air Liquide. The facility holds around 200 kilogrammes of hydrogen and is state of the art. Hydrogen offers a the possibility of expanding the fuel supply in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way, because climate-damaging CO2 emissions can be significantly reduced by using hydrogen, especially if it is produced with renewable energy. The hydrogen station in Irschenberg was funded by the European Commission in the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T CEF) as part of the Connecting Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (COHRS) project.

Meerane, 12 November 2020 | Drivers of fuel-cell vehicles can refuel at an ever-increasing number of filling stations: H2 MOBILITY Deutschland and its partners Shell and Linde have jointly opened the first hydrogen (H2) station in Meerane in the Zwickau district of Saxony. FES GmbH Fahrzeug-Entwicklung Sachsen significantly contributed to the construction of this station. A trial operation lasting several weeks has just been successfully completed. The network of hydrogen filling stations is ever expanding. In Germany there are already 86 H2 filling stations, 34 of them at Shell locations. The expansion will be continued according to demand and is focused on the Rhine/Ruhr and Rhine/Main metropolitan regions, as well as Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Nuremberg, Stuttgart, and the key connecting roads. Third station in Saxony The German state of Saxony already has H2 filling stations in Dresden and Leipzig. The new location in Meerane at the Shell filling station at Äußere Crimmitschauer Str. 125 is conveniently located on the A4 and B93, connecting Dresden and Erfurt as well as Leipzig and the Nuremberg region. Hydrogen is used to power fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEV). Its advantages: no noise or pollutants, but the same use, speed, and range as cars with petrol or diesel engines. FCEVs have ranges of 500 to 700 kilometres and can refuel in just three to five minutes. The new hydrogen station is equipped with a 400 kg storage tank for liquefied hydrogen and the ‘cryo pump’ technology developed by Linde. Its operation is intuitive for drivers; refuelling is similar to that of conventional vehicles. Hydrogen offers a climate-friendly way to expand the range of fuels available in the transport sector, because hydrogen, especially when produced with renewable energy, can significantly reduce climate-damaging CO₂ emissions. An initial, larger hydrogen car fleet in the region is already operated by the vehicle developer FES GmbH Sachsen. The new public filling station enables the company to refuel its FCEV during the development and testing stages, as well as in everyday operation. This strengthens FES GmbH’s position as a leading development service provider for the system integration of fuel-cell drives in vehicles. The station in Meerane is part of the Hydrogen Mobility Europe project, which is funded by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH 2 JU, Grant Agreement No. 671438). FCH JU is supported by the European Union Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon 2020), Hydrogen Europe, and the Hydrogen Europe Research Association. 20201112_Start Wasserstoff-Tankstelle Meerane Nov 2020 About H2 MOBILITY H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co.

Saarbrücken, October 13, 2020 – The partners TOTAL, Air Liquide and H2 MOBILITY have officially heralded the start of construction of the Saarland’s first H2 filling station at the TOTAL Station Burbacher Str. 50 in Saarbrücken in the presence of the Minister of Economics, Labor, Energy and Transport, Anke Rehlinger. The future H2 filling station marks an important step for the nationwide supply of hydrogen mobility in Germany. The station will be built by H2 MOBILITY with the technology provided by Air Liquide. The H2 filling station is planned to start operation in spring 2021. Today there are already 86 hydrogen filling stations in Germany. The filling station, which is located directly on the A620 motorway, will become an important location factor for hydrogen mobility, not only for the city of Saarbrücken and the Saarland in the western part of Germany. Far away from the already existing hydrogen centers Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt and Stuttgart, it will also close an important gap on the German hydrogen mobility map. Hydrogen mobility is a powerful form of electric mobility. On board of the vehicle, a fuel cell generates electrical power to drive the vehicle by reacting hydrogen with oxygen from the air. Fueling is similar to natural gas vehicles. Within only five minutes, energy can be refueled for a range of more than 500 kilometers. In addition to passenger cars, hydrogen is also suitable as an energy carrier for e-mobility in the commercial vehicle sector. Hence, the H2 station in Saarbrücken can be converted and expanded to refuel commercial vehicles. Since hydrogen can be produced from water by electrolysis using renewable electricity, it is an essential energy carrier of the future on the way to climate neutrality and thus the central link between the transformation of the energy system and the mobility sector. Since 2002 TOTAL Deutschland has been involved in research and pilot projects to develop the hydrogen infrastructure. Currently, there are 26 hydrogen stations in the TOTAL network. Other TOTAL projects in Erfurt, Neuruppin and Hamburg are reaching completion or are under construction. Further projects in Freiburg and Mannheim are in the approval and planning process. For the construction of the hydrogen station in Saarbrücken H2 MOBILITY received funding of about 950,000 € from the National Innovation Program Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP) by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI). The H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for establishing a nationwide hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The first goal is the operation of 100 hydrogen stations in seven German metropolitan areas (Hamburg, Berlin, Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Munich), and along connecting roads and motorways. At all stations, cars and light commercial vehicles (vans) can refuel with 700 bar and a requirement of 5 kg (in some cases up to 8 kg) of hydrogen. Starting in 2021, additional stations will be built where there is demand for commercial vehicles and where a public filling station makes sense for a growing network of filling stations for cars.

Rastatt, May 18, 2020 | The hydrogen infrastructure in Germany continues to grow: at the TOTAL filling station “Karlsruher Straße” in Rastatt/Baden-Württemberg the fueling of hydrogen is now also possible. The joint venture H2 MOBILITY has built the filling station together with its partners TOTAL and Linde. There is now a total of 83 public hydrogen filling stations in Germany, of which 23 are at TOTAL stations and 14 in Baden-Württemberg. The heartland of the automotive industry thus underlines its role in the market launch of this innovative and environmentally friendly form of electromobility. Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director at H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG: “Hydrogen plays an important role in the transformation of the mobility sector. High range, short refueling time and zero local emissions are the decisive criteria.” “By expanding the hydrogen network, we are jointly creating the basis for technological diversity in electromobility in Germany. Hydrogen mobility offers the opportunity for high-performance electromobility with considerable advantages for passenger cars over long distances, but especially for commercial vehicles.”, explains Jan Petersen, Director Mobility & New Energies, who leads the infrastructure expansion for alternative mobility concepts at TOTAL Deutschland. “Since 2002 TOTAL Deutschland has been involved in research and pilot projects to develop the hydrogen infrastructure. Other TOTAL projects in Neuruppin, Erfurt and Hamburg are reaching completion or are under construction. Other projects in Saarbrücken and Freiburg are in the planning process. By building the network, we want to send a clear signal to the market, together with our partners.” The filling station in Rastatt, which is equipped with Linde’s highly efficient Ionic Compressor technology, offers a second refueling possibility for hydrogen vehicles in the Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden area. Its location at Karlsruher Straße 16, not far from the A5 motorway, also strengthens the supply of filling station along the highly frequented north-south traffic axis in the Rhine Valley. The plant has a capacity of around 200 kilograms of hydrogen – enough to refuel 40 to 50 vehicles a day. The hydrogen filling station in Rastatt was built by H2 MOBILITY, a joint venture of Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and TOTAL, which has set itself the goal of reaching the mark of 100 filling stations in Germany shortly. This would mark an important step towards the nationwide supply of hydrogen as well as the market launch of hydrogen vehicles. The refueling process for hydrogen vehicles is intuitive and comparable to natural gas refueling. On board of the vehicle, a fuel cell generates electricity from hydrogen, which then drives an electric motor. With five minutes of refueling time, ranges of up to 500 kilometers are possible. Since hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis from water with renewable electricity, it is also the central link between the transformation of the energy system and the mobility sector. The hydrogen station in Rastatt is supported by the European Commission in the trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T CEF) in the Connecting Hydrogen Refueling Stations project (COHRS). About H2 MOBILITY H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for the establishment of a nationwide hydrogen infrastructure for refueling fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEV, 700 bar technology) in Germany. The first milestone is to operate 100 stations in seven German metropolitan areas (Hamburg, Berlin, Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Munich), as well as along trunk roads and motorways. H2 MOBILITY handles all tasks – planning, construction, operation, and marketing – which are required for successfully expanding and operating the network. The shareholders of H2 MOBILITY are Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and TOTAL, with BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota and Volkswagen and NOW GmbH (National Organization Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology) serving in an advisory capacity as associated partners.

Berlin, 07 May 2020 | North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) remains at the forefront of German federal states in the development of hydrogen filling station infrastructure: H2 MOBILITY Deutschland and its shareholders Shell and Air Liquide have now jointly opened the federal state’s 18^th hydrogen (H₂) filling station in Dortmund. Bavaria is hard on NRW’s heels with 17 stations. Hydrogen is used to power fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEV). Its advantages: no noise or pollutants, but the same use, speed, and range as cars with petrol or diesel engines. Hydrogen vehicles have ranges of 500 to 700 kilometres and can be refuelled in just three to five minutes. The network of stations where fuel-cell vehicles can fill up with hydrogen is steadily expanding. Germany already has 83 H₂ filling stations. The number of stations will be expanded successively according to demand. Already, there are 32 hydrogen filling stations in the Shell network in Germany. The focus of expansion is on the Rhine/Ruhr and Rhine/Main metropolitan regions, as well as the greater Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Nuremberg, and Stuttgart regions, and key connecting traffic arteries. The Ruhr region already has H₂ filling stations in Essen, Mülheim, Duisburg, Herten, Ratingen, and Wuppertal. The new facility in Dortmund is located in City Centre North at the Schützenstrasse Shell station, close to the A45 and B54 motorways. The owner and developer is H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, a joint venture working to establish a hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The filling station technology is provided by Air Liquide. The new hydrogen station in Dortmund is state-of-the-art. Its operation is intuitive for drivers; refuelling is similar to that of conventional vehicles. The facility holds around 200 kilograms of H₂. Hydrogen-powered e-mobility reduces CO₂ emissions Hydrogen offers a way to expand the range of fuels available in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way, because hydrogen, especially when it is produced using renewable energy, can significantly climate-damaging CO₂ emissions. The hydrogen station in Dortmund is funded by the European Commission through the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH 2 JU) in the Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2ME) project. Comments on the opening of the Passau H₂ station Thomas Westphal, Managing Director of the City of Dortmund Economic Development Agency “Dortmund is currently developing a hydrogen strategy with local and regional companies tying in to the major ‘Cleanport’ and ‘Huckarde Energy Campus’ projects. Matters of extraction, production, networks, buildings, and also the field of mobility are crucial. The new H₂ filling station helps us demonstrate how new technologies have a local impact.” Dr Frank-Michael Baumann, Managing Director Energie-Agentur.NRW “As the organiser of Germany’s network for fuel cell and hydrogen technologies and electromobility, now 20 years old, we are pleased that North Rhine-Westphalia is further expanding its H₂ infrastructure and is the country’s front-runner in terms of hydrogen filling station numbers. We believe that there is no alternative to electromobility with hydrogen and batteries, and that it will accelerate the energy transition in transport in Germany’s most populous state.” Dr Fabian Ziegler, Managing Director of Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH: “With its commitment to new energies, Shell is making an important contribution to the energy transition. We want to provide products that can help our customers reduce emissions of CO₂  and pollutants.” Markus Schewitza, Managing Director Air Liquide Advanced Technologies GmbH: “Hydrogen is one of the best solutions for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. It has the potential to decarbonise the transport sector, one of the major sources of pollution in our cities. Air Liquide is proud to play a part in building Europe’s biggest H₂ infrastructure.” Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH: “Hydrogen has what it takes, in every respect, to sustainably revolutionise our mobility – because hydrogen means emissions-free driving for every size of vehicle: car, bus, truck, or train.” About H2 MOBILITY H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co KG is responsible for establishing a nationwide hydrogen infrastructure in Germany, primarily to supply passenger cars with fuel-cell drives (700 bar technology) in Germany.

Fuel-cell vehicles can now refuel in Heidelberg as well. On February 5, 2020, in the presence of Mayor Würzner, the partners H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, Air Liquide, and OMV opened the city’s first hydrogen station at Speyerer Strasse 20 in Heidelberg . The second supply point for hydrogen cars in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region is the station on Bergstrasse in Hirschberg, which has been in operation since 2017. The technology for the H2 plant in Speyerer Strasse is by Air Liquide and enables the refuelling of around 40 vehicles per day. The owner and operator is the H2 MOBILITY Deutschland joint venture between the companies Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and TOTAL have joined forces. The partners’ first goal, to be achieved in the course of 2020, is to operate 100 stations in German metropolitan areas and along major roads and motorways. Further hydrogen filling stations are to be added as the number of fuel-cell vehicles increases. For the construction of the hydrogen station in Heidelberg, H2 MOBILITY received funding of close to 950,000 euros from the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) through the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP). Hydrogen-powered electromobility reduces CO2 emissions Environmentally friendly electric mobility using hydrogen causes neither local pollutants nor CO2 emissions and offers a high level of driving convenience thanks to short refuelling times and long ranges. Fuel-cell vehicles can be refuelled in just three minutes for a range of 500 to 700 kilometres. Professor Dr Eckart Würzner, Mayor of the City of Heidelberg: “The opening of the hydrogen filling station in Heidelberg is an important step on our way to becoming a climate-neutral city. Fuel cells are the technology of the future. They enable emissions-free heavy goods transport, bus and long-distance traffic in the region and help ensure clean air in our cities. With the new hydrogen filling station, the city has committed itself to building a fuel-cell vehicle fleet of 30 vehicles by 2021. We are already leading by example: Our municipal vehicle fleet currently includes four cars using this technology – The first fuel-cell waste removal vehicle is to be added in 2020. All this can only work with the necessary infrastructure. That’s what we’re laying the foundations for today.” Michael Mayer-Sonnenburg, Head of the Service Station Business, OMV Deutschland: “Petrol stations are key contact and supply points for the mobility transition. They provide the necessary infrastructure and thus make an important contribution to the ecologically and economically sustainable mobility of the future. We believe in the long-term success of hydrogen and have therefore been committed to the infrastructure’s network expansion for a long time.” Frédéric Minaud, Managing Director Air Liquide Advanced Technologies GmbH: “At this point, hydrogen is one of our best solutions for achieving the goals of the Paris Climate Change Agreement. In particular, hydrogen has the potential to efficiently decarbonize the transport sector, one of the major sources of pollution in our cities. Air Liquide is proud to be involved alongside other key private and public players in building Europe’s largest hydrogen infrastructure, and thereby creating the conditions for the roll-out of fuel-cell vehicles in Germany.” Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director H₂ MOBILITY: H₂ MOBILITY is systematically expanding the hydrogen refilling station network in Germany. After completing 100 fuelling stations in the course of the year, H₂ MOBILITY will in future purposefully build where there is demand. Because zero-emissions fuel-cell passenger cars and commercial vehicles will command a significant market share worldwide and will make a major contribution to reducing emissions in traffic and transport. We are creating the conditions that will enable more and more people and companies to switch to hydrogen.

Biebelried, January 10, 2020 | The hydrogen infrastructure in Germany continues to grow: the latest H2 filling station started operation in Biebelried on January 10, 2020 – electric vehicles with fuel cells can now be refuelled at the TOTAL station at Würzburger Straße 55 in Biebelried. The filling station was built by the joint venture H2 MOBILITY together with its consortium partners TOTAL and Linde. The overall number of public H2 filling stations thus grows to over 80 in Germany, of which 17 are located in Bavaria. Hydrogen mobility is a powerful form of electric mobility. On board of the vehicle, a fuel cell generates electric power to drive the vehicle by reacting hydrogen with oxygen from the air. The fueling process for hydrogen vehicles is comparable to natural gas refuelling. Energy for more than 500 kilometers can be refilled within just five minutes. In addition to passenger cars, hydrogen is also suitable as an energy carrier for e-mobility in the commercial vehicle sector. Since hydrogen can be produced from water by electrolysis using renewable electricity, it is also the central link between the transformation of the energy system and the mobility sector. The hydrogen filling station in Biebelried was built by H2 MOBILITY, a joint venture of Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and TOTAL, which has set itself the goal of reaching the number of 100 filling stations in Germany shortly. This would mark an important step towards the nationwide supply of hydrogen as well as the market launch of hydrogen vehicles. The hydrogen station corresponds to the latest state of the art technology provided by Linde. The plant has a capacity of around 200 kilograms of hydrogen – enough to refuel 40 to 50 vehicles a day. Since 2002 TOTAL Deutschland has been involved in research and pilot projects to build the hydrogen infrastructure. There are currently 22 H2 filling stations in TOTAL’s network, and further projects in Rastatt, Erfurt, Neuruppin and Hamburg are nearing completion or are under construction. Another project in Saarbrücken is in the planning stage. “In my view, hydrogen is a key raw material that is indispensable for achieving our climate targets. With a national hydrogen strategy, the Federal Government will therefore set the course for Germany to become the world’s number one player in this technology”, explained Dr. Anja Weisgerber, member of the German Bundestag, spokesperson for environmental and climate policy of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the German Bundestag. “The time for hydrogen technology has come.” Barbara Becker, member of the State Parliament of Bavaria: “Hydrogen is an important component for the energy transition in the transport sector. In order to enable the use of sustainable, alternative drive technologies in everyday life, the necessary infrastructure must be further expanded. The hydrogen filling station at the Biebelried traffic junction is a very important contribution to the region”. “Hydrogen mobility offers the opportunity for high-performance electromobility with considerable advantages for passenger cars over long distances, but especially for commercial vehicles.”, explained Bruno Daude-Lagrave, Managing Director of TOTAL Deutschland GmbH. “However, the transformation of mobility towards more environmentally friendly solutions is not an easy task – therefore we highly appreciate the political support for more technological diversity in the electromobility sector, which we are proactively promoting with the network expansion in Germany”. Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director at H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG: “Hydrogen plays an essential role in the transformation of the mobility sector. High range, short refuelling time and zero local emissions are the decisive criteria. H2 MOBILITY Deutschland is building the necessary infrastructure for this.” The H2 filling station near the Biebelried interchange is located directly at a central traffic junction: the highly used A3 motorway between Frankfurt and Nuremberg as well as the north-south link along the A7 motorway. The hydrogen station in Biebelried is supported by the European Commission in the trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T CEF) in the Connecting Hydrogen Refuelling Stations project (COHRS).

Berlin, 05 Nov 2019 | It’s universally agreed that hydrogen and fuel-cell technology have great potential for significantly reducing emissions in the transport sector. Today at the Stakeholder Conference on the National Hydrogen Strategy in Berlin, Andreas Scheuer, Minister of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) and Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director of H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the further expansion of the hydrogen (H₂) infrastructure. Under the agreement, by the end of 2021 more than 60,000 fuel cell cars and 500 commercial vehicles would be able to refuel in Germany. The first phase of the hydrogen infrastructure expansion will be completed by mid-2020. At that point, with 100 stations in seven regions (Hamburg, Berlin, Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Munich) as well as along the connecting arteries, Germany will have a public hydrogen infrastructure that will make possible hydrogen mobility with virtually no restrictions. Today’s Memorandum of Understanding will see the H₂ filling station network grow by as many as thirty stations by the end of 2021. The new H₂ stations will be larger: While most H2 stations today have a capacity sufficient for refuelling 40 to 50 cars per day, in future it will be possible to fill up about three times as many vehicles at one station. H2 MOBILITY is thus not only preparing itself for the market ramp-up of hydrogen-powered passenger cars, but is also making it possible to service light and heavy commercial vehicles at selected sites. The first few manufacturers, including Hyundai and Toyota, as well as the German companies StreetScooter and Faun, have already announced hydrogen models in this sector for the years ahead. Toyota, for one, will increase its production in the hydrogen passenger-car sector tenfold from 2020, and Hyundai has announced a similarly large scale-up. The new hydrogen stations will be set up in the regions with the greatest demand for hydrogen. Hydrogen-powered mobility Germany’s federal government has supported hydrogen and fuel-cell technology since 2007 with its National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP). Among other things, the programme funds H₂ filling stations, which at this time are being built and operated in Germany primarily by H2 MOBILITY Deutschland and its shareholders Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and TOTAL. Thanks to the joint efforts of the federal government and H2 MOBILITY, FCEV can already refuel in three to five minutes at 76 public hydrogen stations in Germany, for ranges of 500 to 700 km. The hydrogen stations are usually integrated into existing service stations. The design is compact and mainly uses standardised components for the dispensers, H₂ storage, and compression. The operation of a hydrogen fuel pump is intuitive; refuelling is similar to that of conventional vehicles.

In Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe, drivers of fuel-cell powered electric vehicles (FCVs) can now fill up with hydrogen (H2) at the Hessol filling station, Ober-Eschbacher-Strasse 142. H2 MOBILITY Deutschland is the owner and operator of the hydrogen filling station; the technology comes from the gases and plant manufacturer Air Liquide.   The Hessian city of Bad Homburg was awarded the funding for the construction of a hydrogen station in 2018 during H2 MOBILITY’s second call for locations. On the initiative of Gaertner & Roesebeck Unternehmensberatung GmbH, the Palliativteam Hochtaunus [palliative care group], and with the support of the city of Bad Homburg, many Bad Homburg citizens and companies had expressed their support for hydrogen as a fuel and made this clear with more than 70 statements of intent to purchase FCVs. Today, Alexander W. Hetjes, the Lord Mayor of Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe; Andreas Fischer, Head of Hessol filling stations; Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director of H2 MOBILITY Deutschland; and Mirko Joppich, Project Manager Air Liquide Advanced Technologies, officially inaugurated the facility. Network of hydrogen filling stations in Germany continues to grow The network of stations at which FCVs can refuel with hydrogen is becoming progressively denser. There are now 76 H2 filling stations in Germany; by the beginning of 2020 there will be 100. The district seat of Bad Homburg is conveniently located on the A5 motorway and complements the hydrogen filling station network with connections to the Rhine-Main metropolitan region. Operating a hydrogen fuel pump is intuitive for the driver; refuelling is similar to conventional vehicles and takes three to five minutes. The facility holds around 200 kilogrammes of hydrogen, enough to refuel 40 to 50 vehicles a day.

Mönchengladbach, 26 September 2019 | Drivers of fuel-cell powered electric cars can fill up at an increasing number of service stations: H2 MOBILITY Deutschland and its shareholders Shell and Air Liquide today jointly opened the first hydrogen (H₂) filling facility in Mönchengladbach – the 75^th in Germany. Hydrogen is used to refuel electric vehicles with fuel cells. Its advantages: no noise, no pollutants, but the same ease of use, speed, and range as passenger cars with gasoline or diesel engines. Hydrogen vehicles have ranges of 500 to 750 kilometres, and can be refuelled in just three to five minutes.

German state of Nordrhein-Westfalen tops the list with 17 stations

This further increases the density of the hydrogen supply network in Germany. North Rhine-Westphalia already has a number of operational H2 filling stations, e.g. in Düsseldorf, Cologne, Duisburg and Aachen, and soon also in Bonn and Wesseling. With a total of 17 H₂ stations, North Rhine-Westphalia currently tops the list of federal states, followed by Bavaria (16) and Baden-Württemberg (12). The new facility is located at the Shell petrol station Odenkirchener Straße 160 in the Rheydt district, along the B230 federal highway and close to the A61, A44 and A46 motorways. The filling-station technology comes from the gas and technology company Air Liquide; the station’s owner-developer is the H2 MOBILITY joint venture, which is establishing Germany’s hydrogen infrastructure. The operation of the dispenser is intuitive for the driver; refuelling is similar to that of conventional vehicles and takes just three to five minutes. The system has a capacity of around 200 kilogrammes of hydrogen – enough to refuel 50 vehicles a day. Hydrogen-powered e-mobility reduces CO₂ emissions Hydrogen offers a way to expand the range of fuels available to the transport sector in a climate-friendly way – because using hydrogen, especially if it is produced with renewable energy, can significantly reduce climate-damaging CO₂ emissions. The hydrogen station in Mönchengladbach is funded by the European Commission through the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH 2 JU) in the Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2ME) project.

Brunsbüttel, 8 August 2019 | Schleswig-Holstein Netz (SH Netz) has built the first plant in Schleswig-Holstein to feed green hydrogen into the natural gas grid. The company has invested around €4.5 million in the new facility in Brunsbüttel. Wind2Gas Energy GmbH & Co KG is the operator of the electrolysis plant (power-to-gas plant) required for the generation of hydrogen, which also supplies the H2 MOBILITY hydrogen filling station with green hydrogen. Both the SH Netz feed-in facility and the Wind2Gas Energy power-to-gas plant were built on the Covestro Deutschland AG site in Brunsbüttel. The hydrogen filling station is also located on the site, but is open to the public. “The facility to integrate hydrogen from wind energy into the gas network is a further important step towards a successful energy transition true to the slogan: from the region – for the region,” says Dr. Joachim Kabs, Chief Technology Officer of SH Netz. “These are the kind of tangible, sector-coupling measures we are taking to achieve a complete energy transition in northern Germany.” “Feeding hydrogen into the natural gas network represents an important milestone in the energy transition here in the region,” says Tim Brandt, Managing Director of Wind2Gas Energy. “This integrated approach – production of wind power, conversion of surplus electricity into hydrogen, storage in tanks for the planned hydrogen filling station, and feeding the remaining quantity into the natural gas network – is now being tested and demonstrated at the energy and industrial location of Brunsbüttel. “By settling the facility here, we want to give a young company in the renewable energy sector the opportunity to use the space and good infrastructure at the Covestro Industrial Park in Brunsbüttel,” says Günter Jacobsen, Covestro’s press spokesman at its Brunsbüttel site. The funds for constructing the electrolysis plant will be provided in part by the NEW 4.0 joint project sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, in which 60 partners from Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg are jointly testing the development path to the energy system of the future. The Brunsbüttel hydrogen filling station is state-of-the-art and comes from the technology company Linde. Its operation is intuitive for drivers; refuelling is similar to that of conventional vehicles and takes three to five minutes. Hydrogen offers a way to expand the range of fuels in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way, because using hydrogen that is produced from renewable energy as in Brunsbüttel can significantly reduce climate-damaging carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. The operation of a fuel-cell car causes no local pollutants or emissions. A full tank provides a range of 500 to 700 kilometres. Up to 80 hydrogen cars can be refilled in Brunsbüttel per day. The filling station is funded with €1,022,667 from the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) via the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP). The programme is coordinated by NOW GmbH (National Organisation for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology). Before the hydrogen produced in the power-to-gas plant is fed into the natural gas grid, it is tested in the measuring section to see if it meets the purity and moisture requirements. The gas volume of the hydrogen is also measured. The hydrogen is then compressed, in two compressors, to the high-pressure natural gas pipeline’s network pressure and fed into it. This redundant design guarantees the system’s requisite 96-percent availability. The feed-in facility is completely telemonitored. All operating data is collected at the SH Netz central network control centre in Rendsburg. The system can even be accessed via a laptop by authorised personnel, using state-of-the-art IT security. “The compressor motors as well as the heat pump for heating the building that houses the facility are powered by electricity generated from renewable sources,” explains Gregor Paul, project manager at SH Netz. “We made the eco-friendliness of the operations a top priority.” The wind power for the power-to-gas plant is supplied by the Westerbüttel wind farm, built to the north of Brunsbüttel. At peak times, the power-to-gas plant can produce up to 450 cubic metres of hydrogen per hour. This corresponds to around 40 kilogrammes per hour. A hydrogen-powered fuel-cell car can travel around 100 kilometres with one kilogramme. Schleswig-Holstein Netz AG in brief Schleswig-Holstein Netz AG operates electricity and gas lines in around 1,000 municipalities in Schleswig-Holstein and northern Lower Saxony and is responsible for the safe and reliable operation of the energy grids. As an energy transition partner, the company has connected around 35,500 renewable energy plants to its grids in recent years. With more than 340 Schleswig-Holstein municipalities as direct shareholders and the participation of the eleven Schleswig-Holstein districts in the parent company HanseWerk, municipal partnership is a dominant aspect of Schleswig-Holstein Netz. The municipalities Schleswig-Holstein Netz operates in can acquire shares in the company and thereby not only make use of additional opportunities to have a say, but also participate in the economic result. The company has around 1,200 employees at various technical sites throughout the state as well as the central network control centre in Rendsburg. In total, they operate around 51,000 kilometres of high-, medium- and low-voltage networks, 15,000 kilometres of gas networks, and 7,500 kilometres of communications networks in Schleswig-Holstein and northern Lower Saxony. Wind2Gas Energy GmbH & Co. KG in brief The shareholders of Wind2Gas Energy GmbH & Co KG were among the first pioneers of wind energy use in Schleswig-Holstein. In the late 1980s, the first wind turbines were erected for self-sufficiency. The shareholders now operate numerous wind farms in the windy Dithmarschen region and thereby make a significant contribution to the energy transition. Founding Wind2Gas Energy marks the beginning of the next step towards a successful and sustainable energy transition – the market optimisation of storage technologies.  About Covestro: With revenues of €14.6 billion in 2018, Covestro is among the world’s largest polymer companies.

Drivers of electric cars with fuel cells benefit from more and more hydrogen filling stations as the hydrogen supply network becomes increasingly denser: H2 MOBILITY Deutschland and its shareholders OMV and Air Liquide have jointly opened a hydrogen (H₂) filling station in Schnelldorf in the Ansbach district – the 16th in Bavaria. Hydrogen is used to refuel electric vehicles with fuel cells. Their advantages: no noise, no pollutants, but the same utility, speed, and range as conventional vehicles. Hydrogen vehicles have ranges of 500 to 700 kilometres and, like cars with combustion engines, can be filled up in just three minutes. The network of stations at which fuel-cell vehicles can refuel with hydrogen is becoming increasingly dense. There are now 70 H₂ filling stations in Germany; by the turn of the year, the number will be 100. The OMV filling station at Rudolf-Diesel-Strasse 1 in Schnelldorf, is conveniently located in the immediate vicinity of the Feuchtwangen/Crailsheim motorway junction, not far from the A6 and A7 motorways. The station thus represents an important link for journeys from Kassel or Hanover to southern Germany, and also forms a new H₂ supply point between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Nearby H₂ filling stations are located in Nuremberg, Augsburg and Ingolstadt.. Hydrogen-powered e-mobility reduces CO₂ emissions Hydrogen offers a way to expand the range of fuels available to the transport sector in a climate-friendly way, because hydrogen can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions. Michael Sattler, Head of OMV Future Energy: “Filling stations are central points of contact and supply for mobility change. They provide the necessary infrastructure and thus make an important contribution to the ecologically and economically sustainable mobility of the future. New technologies and innovation are very important to us – which is why we also concern ourselves with future energies such as hydrogen. We believe in the long-term success of this technology, especially in the field of heavy transport, and are committed to expanding the hydrogen infrastructure network.” Markus Schewitza, Managing Director, Air Liquide Advanced Technologies GmbH: “Hydrogen is one of the best solutions for achieving the goals of the Paris Climate Change Agreement. It has the potential to decarbonise the transport sector, one of the major sources of pollution in our cities. Air Liquide is proud to be involved in developing Europe’s largest hydrogen infrastructure so as to create the conditions for the roll-out of fuel-cell vehicles in Germany.” Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH: “Germany is on its way to becoming a trailblazer in hydrogen-powered electromobility. We are currently building the backbone of the hydrogen infrastructure with the first 100 stations in metropolitan areas, as well as along trunk roads and motorways. Our further expansion is demand-driven.” The hydrogen station in Schnelldorf is funded by the European Commission through the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH 2 JU) in the Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2ME) project.

Freiburg/Berlin, 14 Jul 2019 | The results of the life-cycle comparison of longer-range electric vehicles are clear: cars with hydrogen and fuel cells (FCEV) are more climate-friendly than battery-powered vehicles (BEV) if their range is 250 kilometres or more. The decisive factor is the much larger CO2 ‘backpack’ that battery cars have to carry: the emissions caused by the production of the battery. The study examined the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) generated during the manufacture, operation and disposal of battery and fuel-cell vehicles with ranges of 300 kilometres and more, for the periods 2020-2030 and 2030-2040. The values were also compared with those of diesel-powered passenger cars. In their study, the researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE created a detailed breakdown of how much material is needed for the production of batteries, fuel cells and hydrogen tanks, and what emissions are generated during its production and processing. The result: The GHG footprint of the production and recycling of a fuel-cell system including tank corresponds approximately to that of an electric drive with a 45-50 kWh storage capacity. For cars with larger batteries, more GHG are emitted than for the fuel-cell system in a comparable power class. In operation, the source for the electricity and hydrogen is crucial. Following the assumptions of the study published by the Berlin think tank AGORA Verkehrswende, the Fraunhofer ISE assumed solar power (charging at home) as the optimum for the battery car. In the best-case scenario for hydrogen, this is generated from 100% wind energy. However, emissions generated during charging were also compared for the German electricity mix, mixed-case hydrogen production (50% natural gas, 50% wind power), and the worst case: 100% natural gas. Assuming a total [lifetime] mileage of 150,000 kilometres, the fuel-cell vehicle prevails across the board: Even in the worst case (100% H2 from natural gas), the GHG footprint over its entire lifecycle will still be below that of comparable battery vehicles for the next 10 years, and also lower than that of diesel vehicles. Conclusion The study delivers proof of the complementarity of batteries and hydrogen. Vehicles with medium to small batteries (< 50 kWh storage capacity) and ranges of up to 250 kilometres reduce emissions during operation. And from a climate-protection perspective, fuel-cell vehicles have increasing advantages for longer ranges. Both for batteries and for hydrogen: the greener the energy source, the better their environmental score. The Fraunhofer ISE study was funded by H2 MOBILITY Germany. Sources in the field of battery electric mobility include ‘Life Cycle Assessment of a Lithium-Ion Battery Ellingsen’ by Majeau-Bettez, Singh, Srivastava, Valøen and Strømman (2014), the study by Agora Verkehrswende (2019), and the Battery department at the ISE. Sources in the field of fuel-cell vehicles include ‘Integrated environmental and economic assessment of current and future fuel cell vehicles’ by Miotti, Hofer und Bauer (2017), and the expert opinions of the fuel-cell department at the ISE.

Aachen, 28 June 2019 | Drivers of fuel-cell powered vehicles can now refuel at more and more gas stations: H2 MOBILITY Deutschland and its shareholders Shell and Linde today opened the city of Aachen’s first hydrogen (H₂) station. The Aachen-based e-truck manufacturer StreetScooter supported the facility – the company’s future fuel-cell vehicles will be able to refuel at the Shell filling station at Prager Ring 106. Hydrogen is used to refuel electric vehicles with fuel cells. Their advantages: no noise, no pollutants, but the same utility, speed and range as passenger cars with petrol or diesel engines. Fuel-cell vehicles have ranges of 500 to 700 kilometres and can be refuelled in just three minutes. The owner/developer of the new station is the joint venture H₂ MOBILITY. The filling-station technology comes from the gas and technology company Linde. The decisive factor in the selection of the Shell petrol station was its convenient location at the Aachen-Zentrum exit of the BAB 4 motorway and close to the Autobahnkreuz Aachen motorway junction. The new hydrogen station is state-of-the-art, and driver-side operation of the filling facilities is intuitive: the process is similar to refuelling conventional vehicles. Hydrogen stations dispense the gaseous fuel at a pressure of 700 bar. The future series of StreetScooter vehicles will also likewise the 700 bar technology. This particular filling station also has a 350 bar filling point, so that StreetScooter’s developmental-stage vehicles can refuel here as well. The facility uses Linde’s IC90 ionic compressor, which compresses gaseous hydrogen to up to 900 bar in 5 steps. 16 stations in North Rhine-Westphalia The expansion of the corresponding filling station network continues apace. There are now 71 H2 filling stations across Germany. At the turn of the year 2019/20 there will be 100 stations, around 40 of them in Shell’s network. There are currently 16 H2 filling stations in North Rhine-Westphalia, including in Frechen, Cologne, Leverkusen and Düsseldorf, and there will soon be one in Bonn as well. The hydrogen station in Aachen is funded by the European Commission through the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH 2 JU) in the Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2ME) project. Comments on the opening of the H₂ station in Aachen: Marcel Philipp, Lord Mayor of Aachen:  “Aachen is a location where mobility is being rethought and researched. Accordingly, we are very interested in hydrogen, which can be used to refuel electric vehicles equipped with fuel cells, to extend their range. We in Aachen are very keen to be a kind of model city for a new inner-city mobility.” Michael Theben, Head of the Climate Protection Department, Ministry of Economics, Innovation, Digitalisation and Energy in the State of North Rhine-Westphalia “Hydrogen is an important fuel for our future energy world. It enables the long-term storage of large volumes of electricity from renewable energies, and supplements battery-electric mobility where long ranges and bigger payloads are required.” Manfred Becker, Head of Shell Global Hydrogen Operations: “Hydrogen technology is a promising technology, and H2 a fuel for clean mobility. We expect that, from the 2020s, this alternative drive will play an increasingly important role in markets such as Germany, Britain, the Benelux countries, the USA, and Japan. We are on target for this at Shell.” Dr Christian Bruch, Member of the Executive Board of Linde AG: “Hydrogen technology plays a decisive role in the spread of electromobility. High ranges, short refuelling times, and good on-site storage capacities are crucial criteria. Linde technologies are used at all key points in the H₂ value chain and ensure high efficiency.” Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director H₂ MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH: “H2 MOBILITY continues the expansion of the hydrogen filling-station network in Germany: this year we are opening H₂ stations every two weeks on average. The technology has reached market maturity. Korea and Japan are already preparing for the mass market. We are looking forward to more and more customers who want emissions-free driving with the ranges and fuelling times they are used to.” Fabian Schmitt, Chief Technical Officer StreetScooter “The expansion of the StreetScooter range to include electric vehicles with hydrogen-powered fuel-cell range extenders permits commercial vehicles to achieve emissions-free mobility even for ranges beyond practical battery capacities, as well as the electrification of higher service loads/payloads. This enables us to offer our customers the right tool for every application. We are especially keen to support the development of the necessary infrastructure in our hometown of Aachen.” About H2 MOBILITY H₂ Mobility Deutschland GmbH & Co.

Duisburg, 25 June 19 | With the opening of a new hydrogen filling station in Duisburg on the TOTAL Autohof “Am Schlütershof” the company H2 MOBILITY is further expanding the German hydrogen filling station network. There are now a total of 71 public filling stations in Germany, 16 of them in North Rhine-Westphalia. Germany’s most populous state thus underscores its leading role in the market launch of this innovative and environmentally friendly form of electromobility. The hydrogen filling station in Duisburg was built by H2 MOBILITY, a joint venture of Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and TOTAL, which has set itself the goal of operating 100 filling stations in Germany by the end of the year. This would be an important step towards the nationwide supply of hydrogen and the market launch of hydrogen vehicles. The technology for the plant at the TOTAL Autohof was supplied by Air Liquide. The H2 station is state of the art. Its operation by the driver is intuitive; refuelling is similar to that of conventional vehicles. The system stores around 200 kilograms of hydrogen – enough to refuel 40 to 50 vehicles a day. Since 2002, TOTAL Germany has been involved in research and pilot projects to develop the hydrogen infrastructure and currently has 21 hydrogen refuelling points in its filling station network. “By expanding the network, we are jointly creating the basis for technological diversity in electromobility and for the market launch of hydrogen vehicles in the passenger car sector and, in the future, also for commercial vehicles,” explained Bruno Daude-Lagrave, Managing Director of TOTAL Deutschland GmbH. “H2 MOBILITY continues to expand the hydrogen filling station network in Germany. This year we are opening a filling station every 10 days or so, ensuring that more and more people and companies can switch to hydrogen without major constraints,” said Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director of H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, at the opening ceremony. Frédéric Minaud, Managing Director of Air Liquide Advanced Technologies GmbH: “Hydrogen is one of the best solutions to achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Change Agreement. reach. It has the potential to efficiently decarbonize the transport sector, which is one of the major sources of pollution in our cities. Air Liquide is proud to be involved in the development of Europe’s largest hydrogen infrastructure and thus the prerequisite for the roll-out of fuel cell vehicles in Germany.” Electromobility with hydrogen plays a central role for environmentally friendly transport of the future, both for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Vehicles refuel with hydrogen similar to natural gas. On board of the vehicle, a fuel cell generates electricity from the hydrogen, which then drives an electric motor. With five minutes of refuelling time, ranges of more than 500 kilometers are possible. Since hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis from water with renewable electricity, it is also the central link between the energy turnaround and the traffic turnaround. The hydrogen station in Duisburg is funded by the European Commission in the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T CEF) with 625,000 Euros in the Connecting Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (COHRS) project. The opening of the filling station is part of the “Hydrogen Week in North Rhine-Westphalia”. Further meetings and more information under www.h2.live/woche-des-wasserstoffs-2019 Following the opening, the Centre for Fuel Cell Technology (ZBT) presented the hydrogen test field with laboratories and filling station at the ZBT in Carl-Benz-Straße in the presence of Prime Minister Armin Laschet. A flexible test field was installed here, from the production of hydrogen by electrolysis via various compressor stages and cooling through to delivery, in which tests can be carried out on safety and economy as well as on filling station concepts and refuelling options for cars, buses and trucks. In joint research projects with cooperation partners, components and systems for the hydrogen infrastructure can be developed and tested. This development was supported by projects of the federal government and the state of NRW. About H2 MOBILITY The H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for the nationwide development of a hydrogen infrastructure for the supply of cars with fuel cell drive (700 bar technology) in Germany.

Handewitt, 24.06.2019 | Drivers of electric cars with fuel cells can refuel at more and more filling stations: H₂ MOBILITY Deutschland and its shareholders Shell and Linde today jointly inaugurated a hydrogen filling station in Handewitt. It is the first in the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein. Dr Bernd Buchholz, Minister of Economics and Transport of Schleswig-Holstein, Dr Wolfgang Buschmann, District Administrator of Schleswig-Flensburg, and Simone Lange, Lord Mayor of the City of Flensburg, were present at the opening. The nearly 60 members of Flensburg’s EES (Erneuerbare Energien und Speicher – Renewable Energies and Storage) association have actively championed the construction of the hydrogen filling station over the past few years. Hydrogen is used to refuel electric vehicles with fuel cells. Their advantages: no noise, no pollutants, but the same utility, speed and range as passenger cars with petrol or diesel engines. Hydrogen vehicles have ranges of 500 to 700 kilometres and can be refuelled in just three minutes. The network of stations at which fuel cell vehicles can refuel with hydrogen is becoming increasingly dense. In Germany there are now 71 H₂ filling stations; by the turn of the year 2019/20 there will be 100. Further stations are currently being planned, for example in Westre (North Frisia district) and Brunsbüttel (Dithmarschen district). The Shell network in Germany already has 25 hydrogen filling stations. The new facility at the Shell station on Lecker Chaussee in Handewitt is located directly by the Flensburg/Harrislee exit of the BAB 7 motorway. It is a link on the routes from Hamburg to Denmark, Sweden and Norway, where there is also a network of 20 hydrogen filling stations already in place. The owner/developer is H₂ MOBILITY Deutschland, a joint venture tasked with establishing a hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The filling station technology comes from Linde. The hydrogen station in Handewitt is state of the art. Its operation by the driver is intuitive; refuelling is similar to that of conventional vehicles. The facility is equipped with the Linde IC90 ionic compressor, and  holds around 200 kilograms of H₂ – enough to refuel 40 to 50 vehicles a day. E-Mobility with hydrogen reduces CO₂ emissions  H₂ offers a chance to expand the range of fuels available in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way, as using hydrogen – especially when it is produced with renewable energy – can significantly reduce climate-damaging CO₂ emissions. The hydrogen station in Handewitt is funded by the European Commission in the trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T CEF) as part of the Connecting Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (COHRS) project. Comments on the opening of the H₂ station in Handewitt: Dr Bernd Buchholz, Minister of Economics, Transport, Labour, Technology and Tourism of the State of Schleswig-Holstein “For Schleswig-Holstein, hydrogen technology is an indispensable component of the energy transition, and an important aspect of economic development. We are therefore working with other northern German federal states on a joint hydrogen strategy, which will serve as the basis and orientation for future joint northern German or European initiatives. The first hydrogen filling station in Handewitt is a living example of successful sector coupling.” Dr Wolfgang Buschmann, District Administrator of the Schleswig-Flensburg District “The Schleswig-Flensburg district is proud to have the first hydrogen filling station in Schleswig-Holstein. This sharpens our image as a modern, sustainable region. Rural areas are by no means backward, but can instead lead the way with modern technologies when it comes to the necessary transport turnaround. In addition, this opens up an opportunity for us to generate value locally with the wind power available here.” Simone Lange, Lord Mayor of the City of Flensburg “I am delighted that we have succeeded in installing a hydrogen filling station in the immediate vicinity of the city of Flensburg. This creates many new opportunities for our future mobility. In my own case, for example, it has enabled me to buy a hydrogen-powered company car.” Thomas Zengerly, Spokesman of the Management Board, Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH “We will need all sorts of drive systems and fuels for the mobility of the future. The fuel cell offers great advantages, for example, for long-distance journeys, i.e. also for drivers in rural areas, for fleet operators, and for heavy-duty applications. Because refuelling times are short and ranges long.” Dr Christian Bruch, Member of the Executive Board, Linde AG: “Hydrogen technology plays a decisive role in the successful spread of electromobility. High ranges, short refuelling times, and good on-site storage capacities are crucial criteria for an increasing use of hydrogen. Linde technologies are used at all key points in the H₂ value chain and ensure high efficiency.” Prof. Dr Christian Mohrdieck, Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Fuel Cell GmbH: “The demand for electric mobility with fuel cells is growing continuously. Besides an attractive range of vehicles including our own Mercedes-Benz GLC F-CELL, this is of course also due to the encouragingly steady development of the hydrogen infrastructure. By opening the H₂ station in Handewitt, we are checking yet another important box: the connection of innovative refuelling options across state borders.” Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director of H₂ Mobility Deutschland GmbH: “For us, there is no question that emission-free cars and commercial vehicles with fuel cells will command a significant market share around the world, and make a major contribution to reducing emissions from traffic. H2 MOBILITY is therefore further expanding the hydrogen filling station network in Germany. This year we will open a filling station every 10 days or so, ensuring that more and more people and companies can switch to hydrogen without major inconveniences.” Peter Hamann, Chairman of EES ( Erneuerbare Energien und Speicher – Renewable Energies and Storage) e.V.: “The opening of the hydrogen filling station in Handewitt marks a paradigm shift in the region’s e-mobility. With fuel-cell electric mobility, any citizens who have expressed reservations about e-mobility in the past now have the opportunity to fill up with a clean, CO₂-free fuel locally. And the best thing is that they can fill up with 100% “green” hydrogen produced using local wind power. A technology that takes equal account of ecology and decentralization.” About H₂ MOBILITY H₂ Mobility Deutschland GmbH & Co.

Siegen, 24 Jun 19 | Drivers of electric cars with fuel cells can now ‘gas up’ in Siegen as well. The owner/developer H₂ MOBILITY Deutschland and its shareholder Linde today opened a hydrogen filling station in Siegen’s ‘Oberes Leimbachtal’ industrial park  in the presence of the city’s mayor Steffen Mues. It is the 16^th station in North Rhine-Westphalia, and yet another step in making Germany’s hydrogen supply network denser and denser. The site in Leimbachtal is conveniently located by the A 45 motorway, an important link between Frankfurt am Main and Dortmund. The Siegen station was the first station to celebrate its opening during ‘NRW Week of Hydrogen’, ahead of Duisburg (25 Jun) and Aachen (28 Jun). Mayor Steffen Mues officially opened the new hydrogen filling station at a ceremony to which he welcomed numerous guests from politics, business, and the neighbouring municipalities: “Siegen as a major city and regional centre now has a genuine USP. As a university town, commuter town, major centre, and important business location, we approach e-mobility from various perspectives, in the context of climate protection as well as regional competitiveness.” Mues emphasised that the H₂ filling station in Siegen was not least the result of excellent cooperation between local protagonists. “The decisive factor for Siegen as a location was the application submitted by the ‘H₂-Siegerland’ network on the initiative of the city of Siegen, the district of Siegen-Wittgenstein, the University of Siegen, as well as companies and business associations. Philipp Braunsdorf from NOW GmbH, Government Director Jörn Guddat of the Arnsberg District Government as well as District Administrator Andreas Müller for the Siegen-Wittgenstein District, conveyed best wishes on behalf of the Federal and State Governments. The owner/developer of the station is H₂ MOBILITY Deutschland, a joint venture that is expanding Germany’s hydrogen infrastructure. The filling station technology was developed by the gas and technology company Linde. Other H₂ filling stations in North Rhine-Westphalia are already in operation today in Essen, Wuppertal, Münster, Düsseldorf, Leverkusen, and Frechen, and most recently in Mönchengladbach as well. The hydrogen station in Siegen is state-of-the-art, and driver-side operation of the filling facilities is intuitive: the process is similar to refuelling conventional vehicles and takes three to five minutes. The facility is equipped with Linde’s IC90 ionic compressor. The ‘Siegerland’ application won with their integrated model project ‘E-mobility hoch 3’ (e-mobility to the power of 3), which advocates the system integration of technology, infrastructure, and services relating to electromobility. A mobility centre with various applications and sharing services is currently being set up in the industrial estate, and is expected to enrich the region’s vocational training and labour market as well. The hydrogen station in Siegen is supported by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) under the NIP, the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology. The total investment expenditure for the filling station in Siegen amounts to € 1,579,446. The station received a subsidy of € 947,668. Hydrogen offers a chance to expand the range of fuels available in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way, because using hydrogen produced with renewable energy can significantly reduce climate-damaging CO₂ emissions. Operating a hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle causes no local pollutants or carbon dioxide (CO₂₎ emissions. The range of these vehicles is between 500 and 700 kilometres on a full tank. For hydrogen-powered electromobility to become a success story, an attractive range of fuel-cell vehicles and a nationwide infrastructure are needed. The expansion of the corresponding service-station network is progressing well. There are currently 70 H₂ filling stations in Germany; by the end of the year, there will be 100 stations nationwide.

Drivers of fuel-cell powered electric cars can now refuel in the German city of Halle an der Saale. Dr. Reiner Haseloff, Minister President of Saxony-Anhalt, joined partners PS Union, H2 MOBILITY Deutschland and Linde, in opening the federal state’s second hydrogen station today on the PS Union grounds at Blücherstraße 7. Germany’s hydrogen filling station network is becoming denser and denser. Already, there are 70 public stations that offer hydrogen (H2) at 700 bar for fuel-cell cars. Another 30 filling stations are under construction. By the turn of the year, hydrogen car drivers will have around 100 H2 filling stations at their disposal [across Germany]. The station at Blücherstraße 7 is located in the northern part of the Neustadt district, not far from the Bundestraße 80 highway, and closes the network gap between Leipzig and Magdeburg. The project ownerr is H2 MOBILITY Deutschland – a joint venture that is expanding the hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. Its shareholders are Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell, and TOTAL. BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota and Volkswagen as well as the NOW GmbH National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology advise H2 MOBILITY in their capacity as associated partners. The filling-station technology in Halle (Saale) comes from the gas and technology company Linde. The station is state-of-the-art. Operation of the filling facilities is intuitive; the process is similar to refuelling conventional vehicles and takes three to five minutes. The deciding factor in the choice of location was the application submitted by the cooperation partners PS Union, JEZ! mobil, Kooperationswerk Chemie+, isw gGmbH, Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWS, and Stadtwerke Halle to the H2 MOBILITY Standortaufruf (Call for Locations) 2017, in which Halle prevailed over nearly 30 competitors. The H2 filling station will be integrated into the region’s innovative mobility concept: ten hydrogen-powered vehicles will be added to the PS Union’s Group JEZ! mobil car-sharing offer, and the Stadtwerke Halle municipal utilities will use hydrogen vehicles in their company car-sharing program. The Fraunhofer IMWS and the Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP will also use hydrogen vehicles and collect research data for their further optimisation. Other companies that will be supplementing their vehicle fleets with hydrogen-powered vehicles include municipal waste disposal and housing companies. E-Mobility with hydrogen reduces CO2 emissions Hydrogen offers an opportunity to expand the range of fuels available in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way: the use of hydrogen produced with renewable energy can significantly reduce climate-damaging carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Operating a hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle causes no local pollutants or CO2 emissions. The range of these vehicles is between 500 and 700 kilometres on a full tank.

H2 MOBILITY Deutschland is building the necessary infrastructure.” Dr Reiner Haseloff, Minister President of Saxony-Anhalt, praised fuel-cell technology as an alternative to conventional drive systems: “A similar handling to conventional filling stations, comparable speeds and ranges – and all of it nearly without noise and pollutants. This hydrogen filling station, Saxony-Anhalt’s second after Magdeburg, closes a further gap in the hydrogen supply network.” Dr Christian Bruch, Member of the Executive Board of Linde AG: “Hydrogen technology plays a decisive role in the successful spread of electromobility – and Linde technologies ensure high efficiency at all key points in the value chain.” Volker Ciesiolka, Chairman & Managing Director PS Union GmbH and JEZ! mobil GmbH: “The opening of the hydrogen filling station completes our multi-energy filling station at the PS Union headquarters. Alongside conventional fuels, hydrogen can now finally be added to natural gas and electricity. I am very confident that all these types of drive will continue to exist going forward, and will become established in accordance with their areas of use and application. We are very proud that we are already able to offer ‘company car-sharing’ of hydrogen vehicles through our JEZ! mobil car-sharing platform. In the future, we also plan to expand hydrogen vehicles in the free-floating category, to be able to promote electromobility in this type of use as well.” Professor Dr Ralf B. Wehrspohn, Director Fraunhofer IMWS: “For many years, our institute has been working to expand the applications of green hydrogen and to demonstrate and enhance the performance of hydrogen technologies. This new filling station gives us a very successful example in our immediate neighbourhood of how hydrogen can contribute to sector coupling and sustainable mobility.” isw gGmbH with the cooperation network Chemie+: “The expansion and dissemination of hydrogen technology is important to isw gGmbH and the cooperation network Chemie+. We see the development of a regenerative hydrogen economy in the Central German chemicals triangle – across the value chain, from production to recycling – as the/our goal. So this filling station makes a valuable contribution to establishing new and environmentally friendly branches of industry in the region and to the gradual introduction of low-CO2 chemicals.” Matthias Lux, Chairman Managing Director of Stadtwerke Halle GmbH: “Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. As a sustainable and innovative municipal utility company, we began occupying ourselves with environmentally friendly, alternative drives long ago. We welcome the use of hydrogen as part of regional mobility strategies and with a view to cutting down on CO2, because it is a good complement to electric and natural gas drives in the emergence of alternative drives. As a partner, we were happy to support the construction of the new hydrogen filling station.” 20190510 PM Wasserstofftankstelle_Halle_125Z Picture: Enthusiasm in Halle: Joachim Heider, Linde AG, Lorenz Jung, H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, Volker Ciesiolka, PS Union, Dr. Ing.

The facilities each have a capacity of around 200 kilograms of hydrogen – enough to refuel 40 to 50 vehicles a day.  E-mobility with hydrogen reduces CO₂ emissions Hydrogen offers a way to expand the range of fuels available in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way, because climate-damaging CO₂ emissions can be significantly reduced by using hydrogen, especially if it is produced with renewable energy. The hydrogen stations in Bayreuth and Berg bei Hof were funded by the European Commission through the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH 2 JU) in the Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2ME) project. Comments from participants on the opening of the H2 stations in Bayreuth and Berg bei Hof Thomas Bystry, Project Manager Hydrogen Filling Stations, Shell “Hydrogen technology is a promising technology. We assume that from the 2020s, this alternative drive system will play an increasingly important role in markets such as Germany, Britain, the Benelux countries, the USA, and Japan. We are on target at Shell.” Markus Schewitza, Managing Director Air Liquide Advanced Technologies GmbH: “Hydrogen is one of the best solutions for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. It has the potential to decarbonise the transport sector, one of the major sources of pollution in our cities. Air Liquide is proud to contribute to the building of the biggest hydrogen infrastructure in Europe, and to thereby create the prerequisite for rolling-out fuel-cell vehicles in Germany.” Lorenz Jung, Head of Network at H2 Mobility Deutschland GmbH: “Driving an electric car is fun, but charging it is less so. Hydrogen is the solution: electromotive acceleration, refuelling in three minutes, and ranges of 500 – 800 km. We are pleased to see an increasing number of hydrogen pioneers using our growing network of filling stations.” Brigitte Merk-Erbe, Mayor of Bayreuth “The fuel cell enables clean mobility with long ranges, which is why the city of Bayreuth championed the construction of a hydrogen filling station at an early stage. We want to give our citizens and companies the opportunity to switch to electric mobility with fuel-cell vehicles.” Dr Oliver Bär, Head of the Hof district authority “To get hydrogen vehicles on the road now, we need a big H2 filling station network – in the cities, along the motorways, and across the country. We’ve gladly supported the construction in our district, and hope that the people in Franconia will get on board as well.” About H2 MOBILITY H2 Mobility Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for establishing a hydrogen infrastructure to supply cars with fuel-cell propulsion (700 bar technology) in Germany. The interim goal by the end of 2019 is to operate 100 H2 stations in seven German metropolitan regions (Hamburg, Berlin, Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Munich) as well as along trunk roads and motorways. With the ramp-up of vehicle numbers, as many as 400 hydrogen stations will eventually ensure a nationwide supply. H2 MOBILITY handles all the tasks – planning, construction, operation, and marketing – that are necessary for successfully expanding and operating the network. The company’s shareholders are Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and TOTAL, with BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota and Volkswagen and NOW GmbH (National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology) serving in an advisory capacity as associated partners.

Hannover, 01 April 2019 | Drivers of fuel-cell electric cars can refuel at more and more filling stations: H2 MOBILITY Deutschland and its shareholders Shell and Air Liquide have jointly opened a hydrogen (H₂) filling station in Hannover-Laatzen – the fifth in Lower Saxony. The hydrogen supply network in Germany is becoming increasingly tight knit. Hydrogen is used to refuel electric vehicles with fuel cells. Their advantages: no noise, no pollutants, but the same use, speed and range as passenger cars with petrol or diesel engines. Hydrogen vehicles have ranges of 500 to 800 kilometres, and are refuelled in just three minutes. The network of stations at which fuel cell vehicles can refuel with hydrogen is becoming increasingly tight knit. There are now 64 H₂ filling stations in Germany; by the end of 2019 there will be 100. Other H₂ filling stations can be found nearby in Wolfsburg and Osnabrück, as well as in Kassel, Bremen, Stuhr and Hamburg. The facility at the Shell service station on Karlsruher Straße 12 is directly next to the Hannover Messe convention grounds and near the Hannover-Süd motorway junction. It is a link, e.g., for journeys on the routes from Hamburg to Hesse and southern Germany or from Berlin to North Rhine-Westphalia. The client is H2 MOBILITY, a joint venture that is setting up a hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The filling station technology comes from the gas and technology company Air Liquide. The Hannover-Laatzen hydrogen station is state-of-the-art, intuitive to use by the driver; refuelling is similar to that of conventional vehicles and takes three to five minutes. The facility has a capacity of around 200 kilograms of hydrogen – enough to refuel 40 to 50 vehicles a day.

The hydrogen station in Hannover-Laatzen is funded by the European Commission through the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH 2 JU) in the Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2ME) project. Comments from participants on the opening of the H2 station Hannover-Laatzen: Olaf Lies, Lower Saxony Minister for the Environment, Energy, Building and Climate Protection “Lower Saxony has pursued a systematic hydrogen strategy for some time now, and champions the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier in a wide variety of areas, including mobility. If we want to achieve our climate protection targets, emission-free mobility will become more and more important. Hydrogen-powered fuel cells are a fixture in this, alongside battery-powered electric vehicles. However, the change from hot to cold combustion can only succeed if the charging infrastructure is in place. So I am pleased to see another hydrogen filling station in the Hannover area. We have the technology and the know-how to make use of hydrogen. We should seize these opportunities.” Thomas Zengerly, Chairman of the Board of Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH: “Hydrogen is a promising proposition. We expect that, starting in the 2020s, this alternative drive will play an increasingly important role in markets such as Germany, England, the Benelux countries, the USA and Japan. At Shell, we are right on course.” Markus Schewitza, Managing Director Air Liquide Advanced Technologies GmbH: “Hydrogen is one of the best solutions for achieving the targets of the Paris Climate Change Agreement.

Braunschweig, March 25, 2019 – Success for the klimabewusster Braunschweiger environmental initiative, which advocated the construction of a hydrogen (H2) filling station in the region: one of the first 100 H2 stations in Germany will be integrated into the Shell filling station at Hamburger Strasse 211. The operating consortium H2 MOBILITY Germany expects to start construction this summer. Hydrogen is used to fuel electric vehicles with fuel cells. Its advantages: no noise or pollutants, but the same use, speed, and range as cars with petrol or diesel engines. Hydrogen vehicles have ranges of 500 to 800 kilometres and, just like conventional vehicles, can fill up at filling stations in just three minutes. The station in Braunschweig will be built with technology from the gas and technology specialist Air Liquide. The network of stations where fuel-cell vehicles can fuel with hydrogen keeps expanding: there are currently 62 such filling stations in Germany, including in Hanover, Wolfsburg, and Magdeburg. By the end of 2019, the number is expected to reach 100, with more to follow. The selected location at the Shell filling station at Hamburger Strasse 211 is conveniently located on the A2 motorway, making it a connective link on the Berlin – Ruhr and Berlin – Kassel routes. The local automobile developer IAV GmbH, the company WiTech, the Forschungsflughafen Braunschweig GmbH research airport, the company Veolia, Braunschweig Technical University, the Lower Saxony Research Centre for Vehicle Technology, the Braunschweig branch of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and the municipal business development agency Braunschweig Zukunft GmbH had all supported the construction of the filling station. The German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) is funding the construction of the hydrogen station with around €950,000 under its National Innovation Programme Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP 2). The shareholders of the H2 MOBILITY operating consortium are Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and TOTAL, with BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota and Volkswagen, as well as NOW GmbH (National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology) advise the consortium as associated partners.

Ride, Refuel & Talk at Hannover Messe 2019 In the Ride, Refuel & Talk, visitors to the Hannover Messe can experience for themselves the practicality of hydrogen mobility in everyday life. Four fuel-cell vehicles – Hyundai (NEXO), Mercedes Benz (GLC F-CELL), Toyota (Mirai) – are available on the outdoor area in front of Hall 27. On request, a refuelling can also be carried out at the newly opened Laatzen hydrogen station. H2 MOBILITY Deutschland Hydrogen’s suitability for everyday use begins with an extensive network of hydrogen filling stations, as is currently being set up in Germany. H2 MOBILITY has dedicated itself to this task – which is unprecedented in this form: there is no comparable entrepreneurial initiative anywhere else in the world that sees the introduction of a zero-emissions fuel as a national duty and is driving it forward. The first goal is to operate 100 H₂ filling stations in the seven major metropolitan areas of Hamburg, Berlin, Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Stuttgart, and Munich, as well as along the arterial roads and motorways that connect these hubs. H2 MOBILITY will handle all of the operational tasks, including network planning, permitting, procurement, construction, and operation of the filling stations. Its shareholders are Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell, and TOTAL. (We are Hydrogen, Hall 27, Stand B55) Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) The partners in the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) are working across multiple sectors towards the market activation of hydrogen and fuel-cell mobility as part of a sustainable energy transition. The industrial partnership transfers the experience gained in the car sector to other modes of transport, promotes sector coupling, and develops business models for hydrogen production from renewable energy. The CEP focuses on the road capability of powerful vehicles, fast and safe refuelling, and the systems compatibility of accompanying technologies for optimised production, storage and logistics. Air Liquide, Audi, BMW, Daimler, GP Joule, H2 MOBILITY, Honda, Hyundai, Linde, OMV, Shell, Total, Toyota, and the Westfalen Group are all involved in the project.

The service station is located directly on the Weiterstadt motorway exit, a few kilometres from the Darmstädter Kreuz (BAB 5; 67 and 672) junction in the Darmstadt and Groß-Gerau catchment areas. This means that drivers of zero-emission fuel-cell cars now have an additional fuelling option on the important north-south axis between Frankfurt, Mannheim and Karlsruhe.

The owner and operator of the new H2 station at the Shell service station is the joint venture

H2 MOBILITY. The filling-station technology was provided by Air Liquide. The hydrogen station is state of the art. Its operation by the driver is intuitive; refuelling is similar to that of conventional vehicles and is completed in three to five minutes. The facility has a capacity of around 200 kilograms of hydrogen – enough to refuel 40 to 50 vehicles a day.

Hydrogen-powered e-mobility reduces CO2 emissions

Hydrogen offers a climate-friendly way to expand the range of fuels in the transport sector: hydrogen produced with renewable energy can significantly reduce climate-damaging CO2 emissions. The operation of an H2-powered fuel-cell vehicle causes neither local pollutants nor carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The vehicles have a range of 500 to 800 kilometres on a full tank of fuel.

Ensuring that hydrogen-powered electric mobility becomes a success story requires an attractive range of fuel-cell vehicles in conjunction with an appropriate supply infrastructure. The expansion of the network of filling stations is making good progress. A Germany-wide network of 100 stations is to be established by 2019. With the addition of Weiterstadt, it will be possible to refuel at 53 stations across Germany.

The European Commission is funding a total of 17 facilities in the ‘trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T CEF)’, including the Weiterstadt station, with a total of 11 million euros, through its ‘Connecting Hydrogen Refuelling Stations’ (COHRS) project.

The parties involved comment on the opening of the Weiterstadt H2 station at the Hesse Fuel Cell Forum in Darmstadt:

 Thomas Zengerly, Chairman & CEO, Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH:  “Hydrogen technology is a promising technology, and H2 a fuel for clean mobility. We expect that from the 2020s, this alternative drive will play an increasingly important role in markets such as Germany, England, the Benelux countries, the USA and Japan. We at Shell are on course.”

Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director, H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH:  “Germany is on its way to becoming a pioneer in hydrogen-powered electromobility. We are currently building the backbone of the hydrogen infrastructure with the first 100 stations in metropolitan areas as well as along trunk roads and motorways. We will take our cue from the demand as we continue its expansion.”

Markus Schewitza, Managing Director, Air Liquide Advanced Technologies GmbH “This new hydrogen station opened in Germany, like the more than 50 already in operation through the country, shows the determination of all the industrial and public partners involved in H2 Mobility Deutschland. Thanks to this partnership, hydrogen energy can be deployed largely, ensuring then a shift to a cleaner energy for transportation. The hydrogen station infrastructure in place already makes it possible to link the entire territory. Air Liquide is involved in the development of hydrogen for more than 50 years. Today we are convinced that hydrogen is inavoidable if we want to succeed in the energy transition.”

Brigitte Lindscheid, District President of Darmstadt: “Alternative drives are needed more than ever, so hydrogen fuel cells are therefore an important building block on the road to more sustainable, cleaner mobility. The new petrol station in Weiterstadt closes a large gap between the Main and Neckar rivers. I would like to thank the companies involved, which have made considerable investments here.”

Dr Karsten McGovern, Head of the Hesse State Energy Agency: “The hydrogen filling station in Weiterstadt is the seventh in all of Hesse. We are already observing that the increasing number of filling stations is also generating higher demand for climate-friendly fuel-cell vehicles.”

H2 MOBILITY, Air Liquide and TOTAL open new H₂ station in Dresden Site enhances eco-friendly mobility in Saxony Capacity to refuel up to 40 vehicles per day Funded by the EU within the Connecting Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (COHRS) project

The development of the H2 infrastructure in Germany is making good headway: Today, the first hydrogen filling station in Saxony was inaugurated at the TOTAL service station in Dresden on Wiener Straße. Dresden is one of the first 50 hydrogen (H₂) service stations in Germany and an important contribution to enable eco-friendly electromobility for fuel cell vehicles. The new hydrogen facility was built by H2 MOBILITY with support from the European Union. Stefan Brangs, State Secretary in the Saxon State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Labor and Transport, was able to announce a further step in the expansion of the hydrogen network during the ceremonial first filling of a fuel cell vehicle: In Leipzig, the next hydrogen service station has already been completed at the TOTAL truck stop in Poststraße.

The technology for the new hydrogen facility at the TOTAL service station in Dresden is produced by Air Liquide and has the refuelling capacity for up to 40 vehicles per day. The primary goal of the joint venture H2 MOBILITY, formed by the companies Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell, and TOTAL, is to operate 100 stations in metropolitan areas in Germany and along motorways and highways by 2019. Another 300 hydrogen filling stations will follow as the vehicle numbers are ramped up.

For the establishment of the hydrogen station in Dresden, H2 MOBILITY has received funding from the European Commission’s trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T CEF) within the project Connecting Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (COHRS). In the past years, the development of Germany’s H₂ network had advanced significantly thanks to the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP), an association of industrial representatives of diverse sectors funded by the German government within the scope of the National Innovation Programme Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP). Within the framework of the NOW GmbH, the federal government is also an associated partner of H2 MOBILITY.

E-Mobility with Hydrogen Lowers CO₂-Emissions Eco-friendly electromobility using hydrogen causes no local pollutants or CO₂ emissions and, thanks to short refuelling times and long ranges, offers a high level of driving convenience. Fuel cell vehicles can be refuelled in under five minutes with enough fuel for a reach of up to 800 kilometers.

Stefan Brangs, State Secretary in the Saxon State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Labor and Transport: “To become modern and smart, cities must develop sustainable mobility concepts. Hydrogen from renewable energies – preferably produced in the region – is certainly a key technology for the electromobility of the future. Therefore, I am pleased to see that the white spots on the map in eastern and central Germany are slowly becoming smaller and that there are more and more public hydrogen filling stations. Because the establishment of a dense European network of hydrogen service stations is the basic prerequisite for more people switching to this type of drive.”

Bruno Daude-Lagrave, CEO of TOTAL Deutschland GmbH: “As a pioneer in our industry, we have been active in the development of hydrogen mobility in Germany for 16 years. All the more reason for us to be pleased that the expansion of the H₂ service station network is gaining momentum. We have only just reached an important milestone with the opening of the 50th German hydrogen station in Potsdam together with our partners from industry and politics, and now Saxony’s first hydrogen station marks another important step. Further projects at TOTAL service stations in Leipzig, Magdeburg, Erfurt and Neuruppin will soon enable eco-friendly mobility with hydrogen throughout eastern Germany.”

Markus Schewitza, Managing Director,  Air Liquide Advanced Technologies GmbH: “We need to face the challenges of energy transition now. And hydrogen is today one of our best solutions to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Hydrogen has notably the potential to efficiently decarbonize the transport sector which is one of the major sources of pollution in our cities, but it requires a dedicated infrastructure to achieve this goal. Air Liquide is proud to contribute, together with the key private and public players, to the building of the biggest hydrogen infrastructure in Europe, and thus enable the deployment of FCEVs on the territory.”

Nikolas Iwan, CEO of H2 MOBILITY: „Hydrogen offers an electromobility solution without restrictions: dynamic acceleration, short refuelling times and ranges comparable to conventional cars. We are delighted that more and more hydrogen pioneers are taking advantage of our fast-growing service station network. There will be 100 stations by the end of 2019! Anyone who wishes, can follow our progress via our app H2.LIVE.”

• Capacity to refuel up to 40 vehicles per day
• Facility for filling up hydrogen buses pre-installed
• EU funding within the scope of the Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2ME) project 

With today’s launch of the 50th public hydrogen service station, partners H2 MOBILITY, Linde and TOTAL celebrated an important stage in the development of hydrogen mobility in Germany. In the presence of representatives of the European Union’s Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU), the German federal government, the government of the federal state of Brandenburg and the city of Potsdam, the station in Horstweg in the southeast of Potsdam was ceremoniously inaugurated. Alongside a 700-bar pump for cars, a facility for an optional 350-bar pump for filling up buses has been preliminarily installed at the station.

The technology for the new hydrogen facility at the TOTAL service station in Potsdam is produced by Linde and has the capacity for refueling up to 40 vehicles per day. The facility is owned and operated by H2 MOBILITY, a joint venture formed by the companies Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell, and TOTAL. The partners’ primary goal is to operate 100 stations in seven German metropolitan areas (Hamburg, Berlin, Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Munich) and along motorways and highways by 2019. Another 300 hydrogen fuelling stations will follow as the vehicle numbers are ramped up.

For the establishment of the hydrogen station in Potsdam, H2 MOBILITY has received funding from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH 2 JU) under grant agreement No 671438. The Joint Undertaking receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, Hydrogen Europe and Hydrogen Europe research.

H2 MOBILITY is part of the FCH JU-funded Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2ME), a flagship project bringing together Europe’s leading initiatives in hydrogen mobility — in Germany, France, the UK and Scandinavia. Through H2ME, FCH JU is supporting the roll-out of a large scale hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, aimed at enabling Europe-wide emission-free driving.

In the past years, the development of Germany’s H2 network had advanced significantly thanks to the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP), an association of industrial representatives of diverse sectors funded by the German government within the scope of the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel-cell Technology (NIP).

E-Mobility with Hydrogen Lowers CO₂-Emissions Eco-friendly electromobility using hydrogen causes no local pollutants or CO₂ emissions and, thanks to short refuelling times and long ranges, offers a high level of driving convenience. Fuel- cell vehicles can be refuelled in under five minutes with enough fuel for a reach of up to 800 kilometres. Compared to battery-powered cars, hydrogen vehicles generate their own electricity on board by a reacting of hydrogen with air in the fuel cell, which generates the power needed to propel the car.

Good headway is being made in the development of the H₂ infrastructure in Germany. Over the past few days, further stations have been completed in Dresden, Hasbergen and Ratingen. More service stations are currently under construction and/or at the planning stage, e.g. in Leipzig, Hamburg, Magdeburg, and Erfurt.

Bart Biebuyck, Director of the FCH JU: ”The opening of the 50th hydrogen refuelling station (HRS) in Germany demonstrates Germany’s leading role in the deployment of hydrogen infrastructure in Europe. Thanks to the successful cooperation between H2 MOBILITY Deutschland and FCH JU’s flagship project, Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2ME), the EU contributes to this fast-paced roll-out of hydrogen stations in Germany. Learnings from H2ME will be used to accelerate the HRS infrastructure deployment in other parts of Europe as well.”

Dr. Klaus Bonhoff, CEO NOW GmbH: “With each additional hydrogen filling station, we are moving a step closer to the goal of clean mobility. In order to achieve the climate targets, the transport sector must focus on electric mobility and drive systems as well as electricity-based fuels. Mobility with hydrogen plays a pivotal role in this regard and over the past few years the German government has invested heavily in this area with the National Innovation Programme Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP). Today we can see how successful this has been.”

Kathrin Schneider, Minister of Transport of the State of Brandenburg: “An important goal of our mobility strategy is the further development and testing of alternative drives. However, new mobility technologies can only succeed if the right infrastructure is in place. With the opening of the new service station, we have made considerable progress today.”

Jann Jakobs, Mayor of Potsdam: “As of today, Potsdam is part of the German map of hydrogen mobility – and is thus taking a major step towards an emission-free mobility of the future.“

Bruno Daude-Lagrave, CEO TOTAL Deutschland GmbH: “TOTAL has been a pioneer in the development of hydrogen mobility in Germany since 2002. In this context, we work very closely with partners from industry and politics and, with the opening of the 50th public hydrogen station, jointly attained a significant milestone on the road to a nationwide H₂ infrastructure in Germany. The station in Potsdam is the 18^th within the network of TOTAL and an important element for further hydrogen projects in the region. Owing to its location close to the highway, the station completes the nationwide network for the market launch of fuel cell vehicles and moreover gives the perspective for the development of a bus fleet in Potsdam. With further projects at TOTAL stations in Dresden, Leipzig, Magdeburg, Erfurt and Neuruppin, we will soon be facilitating the use of hydrogen-powered electromobility in all of Eastern Germany.”

Jens Waldeck, Linde Gas, Head of Region Central Europe: “Most H2 MOBILITY hydrogen service stations already use Linde technology. We are proud to have been able to equip the 50th with our proven IC90 technology – especially as, being one of the world’s largest manufacturers in this field, we have been pioneering in the use of hydrogen as an industrial gas in a wide range of applications for more than a hundred years. In 2004, we opened the first public hydrogen service station in Germany and are therefore a founding member and shareholder of H2 MOBILITY with conviction.”

Nikolas Iwan, CEO H2 MOBILITY: “We are pleased to welcome more and more hydrogen customers who desire electromobility without restrictions. Because only hydrogen offers dynamic and clean driving with customary reaches and refueling times under 5 minutes. The hydrogen service station network is growing rapidly. Every two weeks we are opening a new station; the number of green dots on our map at www.h2.live will be growing fast over the next few months. This is also possible thanks to the EU funding us, as it does here in Potsdam. Anyone who wishes, can follow our progress via our app H2.LIVE.”

31 August 2018, Stuhr – H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, Shell, and Nel today opened Lower Saxony’s second hydrogen (H₂) station. In commissioning the station at the Shell Autohof Stuhr – Groß Mackenstedt rest stop, the partners are taking a further step towards establishing a nationwide H₂ supply network in Germany.

The rest stop is located directly at the Stuhr junction on the BAB 1 motorway, or the Groß Mackenstedt exit on the BAB 28 – in the Bremen/Delmenhorst/Oldenburg catchment area. Drivers of emissions-free fuel-cell cars now have another refuelling option on the important north- west axis between Hamburg and the Ruhr region.

The owner and operator of the new H₂ station at the Shell rest stop is the H2 MOBILITY joint venture. The filling-station technology is by Nel. The hydrogen station is state of the art, and its driver-side operation is intuitive; the refuelling process is similar to that of conventional vehicles and can be completed in three to five minutes. The facility holds around 170 kilograms of hydrogen – enough to refuel 30 to 40 vehicles a day.

Hydrogen e-mobility reduces CO₂ emissions Hydrogen offers a way to expand the range of fuels in the transport sector in a climate-friendly way: Hydrogen produced with renewable energy can significantly reduce climate-damaging CO₂ emissions. The operation of an H₂-powered fuel-cell vehicle causes neither local pollutants nor carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. Such vehicles currently have a range of 500 to 800 kilometres on a full tank of fuel.

Ensuring that hydrogen-powered electric mobility becomes a success story requires an attractive range of fuel-cell vehicles in conjunction with an appropriate supply infrastructure. The expansion of the network of filling stations is making good progress. A Germany-wide network of 100 stations is to be established by 2019. With the addition of Stuhr Groß Mackenstedt, it is now possible to refuel at 45 stations across Germany.

The European Commission is funding a total of 17 facilities in the ‘trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T CEF)’, including the Stuhr station, with a total of 11 million euros, through its ‘Connecting Hydrogen Refuelling Stations’ (COHRS) project.

 The parties involved comment on the opening of the Stuhr – Groß Mackenstedt H₂station:

Thomas Zengerly, Chairman & CEO, Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH: “Hydrogen technology is a promising way forward, and hydrogen a fuel that lends itself for clean mobility. We expect that this alternative drive will play an increasingly important role in markets such as Germany, England, Benelux, the USA, and Japan from the 2020s onwards. At Shell, we are on course for this development.

Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director, H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH: “Germany is on its way to becoming a trailblazer in the field of hydrogen-powered electromobility. We are currently building the backbone of the hydrogen infrastructure with the first 100 stations in metropolitan areas as well as along highways and motorways. We are basing the expansion of this network on demand.”

Frank Doods, State Secretary at Lower Saxony’s Ministry of the Environment, Energy, Building and Climate Protection: “It is time to reduce greenhouse gases in the transport sector too. I assume that battery-powered solutions can meet many, but certainly not all mobility requirements in this way. That’s why we also need the option of fuel-cell-powered electric drives.”

Ulf Schmidt, Deputy District Administrator, Diepholz District “From now on, many drivers will refuel their hydrogen vehicles in our district when travelling from northern to western Germany – we’re proud of this, and it strengthens us as a mobility region/centre in northern Germany.”

Niels Thomsen, Mayor of Stuhr: “Hydrogen and fuel-cell vehicles contribute to the success of the energy transition, including in the mobility sector. This new offer further strengthens Stuhr as a place of business.”

August 9, 2018, Kassel-Lohfelden – H2 Mobility Deutschland and its shareholders Shell and Air Liquide have today jointly opened the first hydrogen (in short H2) refuelling station in the Kassel district – the fifth in the state of Hesse. With the refuelling station at Shell SVG Autohof Lohfelden, the partners are taking a further step towards a comprehensive H2 supply network in Germany.

The service station is located directly at the Kassel-Mitte intersection of federal motorways 7 and 49, and close to motorways 44 and 38. This now provides drivers of zero-emission fuel-cell vehicles with an additional refuelling opportunity on the important north-south axis between Frankfurt and Hanover as well.

The principal and operator of the new H₂ refuelling station is the joint venture H2 Mobility, which is establishing a hydrogen infrastructure in Germany. The Shell SVG Autohof is owned by SVG Hessen. The refuelling station technology comes from gas and technology company Air Liquide.

The hydrogen refuelling station conforms to the state of the art. Self-service operation by drivers is intuitive; refuelling is similar to conventional vehicles and takes three to five minutes. The facility holds around 200 kg of hydrogen – enough to refuel 40 to 50 vehicles a day.

E-mobility with hydrogen reduces CO₂ emissions Hydrogen offers the opportunity of augmenting the fuel offering in the transport sector in an environmentally-friendly way: since with the help of hydrogen, which is produced with renewable energy, climate-damaging CO₂ emissions can be considerably reduced. Running an H2-powered fuel-cell vehicle produces neither local pollutants nor carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. The range of these vehicles is between 500 and 800 kilometres per tankful.

In order to turn electomobility with hydrogen into a success story, an attractive proposition of fuel-cell vehicles as well as a corresponding supply infrastructure is required. The expansion of the requisite refuelling station network is making good progress. By 2019, a network of 100 refuelling stations is to be established across Germany. With Lohfelden you can now refuel at 44 stations already.

The EUR 1.4 million facility is being supported by the European Commission in the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T CEF), in the “Connecting Hydrogen Refuelling Stations” (COHRS) project.

The parties involved commented on the opening of the H2 refuelling station at Kassel-Lohfelden:

Thomas Zengerly, chairman of the management board Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH: “Fuel cell technology is a promising technology, and H₂ a fuel of the future. We’re assuming that this alternative drive system will play an increasingly important role from 2020 onwards in markets such as Germany, the UK, Benelux, the USA and Japan. We at Shell are on course.”

Eugen Jung, chairman of the supervisory board, SVG Hessen eG: “SVG Hessen – as a service provider and partner of the transport and logistics sector – welcomes the expansion of the fuel offering at Shell SVG Autohof Lohfeldener Rüssel with environmentally-friendly hydrogen. This makes the service station more attractive.”

Markus Schewitza, managing director of Air Liquide Advanced Technologies GmbH: “Hydrogen is today one of our best solutions to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Hydrogen has notably the potential to efficiently decarbonize the transport sector which is one of the major source of pollution in our cities. Air Liquide is proud to contribute, together with the key private and public players, to the building of the biggest hydrogen infrastructure in Europe.”

Berlin, 26 April 2018. The Nuremberg metropolitan region will receive five more hydrogen stations at a single stroke: four (Bayreuth, Biebelried, Fürth and Schnelldorf) will be built as part of H₂ MOBILITY’s regular network planning, while a fifth location – Erlangen – has successfully prevailed in the second appeal to regions, with 20 declarations of intent to purchase hydrogen cars and an integrated concept for hydrogen generation and storage. This means that hydrogen pioneers in the region will soon be able to refuel at a total of eight locations in Nuremberg and the surrounding area.

H₂ MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG issued its second appeal to regions to apply for a hydrogen filling station. At least 15 signed LOIs (Letter of Intent) for the purchase of a hydrogen-powered vehicle were considered a prerequisite. In all, more than 400 LOIs were submitted by companies and individuals from 13 regions.

“Erlangen convinced us primarily with its integrated concept,” says Lorenz Jung, who lead-managed the call and is responsible for the roll-out of filling stations at H₂ MOBILITY. “We are planning the hydrogen filling station on the Siemens AG campus, and will benefit from the many activities in the field of hydrogen generation and storage that are being established here. Among other things, Siemens will operate an electrolyser powered by a PV system, for generating hydrogen from renewables.  Hydrogenious Technologies will demonstrate the recovery and supply of hydrogen from delivered LOHC using a ‘release box’. We also enjoy the support of the city of Erlangen and the municipal utilities, which signed letters of intent to purchase hydrogen cars in response to the appeal to regions.”

In accordance with the network plans, the Nuremberg metropolitan region will also get four other stations in addition to Erlangen – in Bayreuth, Biebelried, Fürth and Schnelldorf. The stations will be integrated into existing TOTAL, Shell and OMV service stations. The technology comes from the plant and gas manufacturers Air Liquide and Linde. H₂ MOBILITY is already building a station in Berg near Hof, and hydrogen filling stations have already opened in Nuremberg, Langwasser and Geiselwind. This means that the alternative fuel hydrogen will be available at eight locations in and around Nuremberg.

“The Nuremberg Metropolitan Region will play a purposeful role in shaping the mobility shift. We want an energy and transport transition towards zero-emission drives and will support the technical options as best we can. Fuel cells using hydrogen play an important role. We are pleased about H₂ MOBILITY’s commitment to expending the hydrogen filling station network, and want to do our part to ensure a rapid development of hydrogen mobility in our region,” commented Prof. Dr. Klaus L. Wübbenhorst, Chairman of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region.

Investment costs for the hydrogen infrastructure are still high. For this reason, H₂ MOBILITY is receiving funding for the construction projects in the metropolitan region both from the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure’s National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP), and from the European projects COHRS (Connecting Hydrogen Refuelling Stations) and H2ME (Hydrogen Mobility Europe), which is funded by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH 2 JU, Grant Agreement No. 671438).

About the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region The Nuremberg metropolitan region comprises 23 administrative districts and 11 independent towns – from the Thuringian district of Sonneberg in the north, to the district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen in the south, from the district of Kitzingen in the west, and the district of Tirschenreuth in the east. The region’s 3.5 million inhabitants generate a gross domestic product of 129 billion euros per year – roughly equivalent to Hungary’s economic strength. A great strength of the Nuremberg metropolitan region is its polycentric structure: the densely populated urban axis of Nuremberg-Fürth-Erlangen-Schwabach is surrounded by a dense network of further centres and strong administrative districts. The region therefore offers all the possibilities of a metropolis – but without the negative effects of a megacity. Affordable housing, a functioning transport infrastructure, and a low crime rate are part of its appeal.

The same number of hydrogen refuelling stations are already available today. The new stations further complement our regular network planning. We build in seven conurbations (Hamburg, Berlin, Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Munich) as well as along highways and motorways. The next five sites will be announced shortly for even more mobility with hydrogen.

Waddinxveen, Netherlands, 6 April 2018 – 20 teams will be at the start today in Waddingxveen with their fuel cell electric vehicles. Alongside shareholder Shell, H2 MOBILITY will be fielding its own team that will be aiming to collect the most points over the next 24 hours. Press can meet the teams on Saturday, 7th in Bremen, at the Shell station Osterholzer Heerstraße 222 from 9:00-9:45 AM. Download press release

Six new hydrogen filling stations, the unveiling of the Mercedes-Benz GLC F-CELL, and test drives with the Hyundai NEXO, the Honda Clarity Fuel Cell and the Toyota MIRAI are just some of the many highlights that await visitors to the joint stand of the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP), H₂ MOBILITY and NOW National Organisation for Hydrogen and fuel cell Technology (Hall 27, B59). For more news, please also visit the press conference on 23 April at 11:00 at the Public Forum of the Group Exhibit Hydrogen + Fuel Cells + Batteries in Hall 27, B66.

Berlin, 04 April 2018. The same handling, same speed, and same range as conventional vehicles – but with no noise or local CO₂  emissions: these are the success factors of hydrogen mobility. Ensuring that they can prevail in the market requires a nationwide infrastructure, cross-industry collaboration between industrial partners, and resolute government support.

CEP, H₂ MOBILITY and NOW, three major protagonists of the hydrogen scene, will jointly present news from the industry at this year’s Hannover Messe (Hanover Fair). The automotive partners Daimler, Honda, Hyundai and Toyota will show their fuel-cell vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz GLC F-CELL, which will be on sale at German dealerships from summer 2018, will be on view at the exhibition stand. Outside of Hall 27, Hyundai’s second fuel cell vehicle, the Hyundai NEXO (available from summer 2018), the Toyota MIRAI, which has been on German roads since 2015, as well as Honda’s second-generation saloon Clarity Fuel Cell will be available for test drives.

At the press conference on Monday, 23 April, at 11:00, the three exhibitors will provide information about the latest developments and projects. On Tuesday, 24 April from 14:00 to 14:40, a panel discussion on the topic of “Cross-sector development of hydrogen mobility” with representatives from the partner companies will be held at the Public Forum of the Hydrogen + Fuel Cells + Batteries Group Exhibit in Hall 27.

“Hydrogen mobility will contribute to a successful energy transition – we can already see that it works on Germany’s roads today”, says Thomas Bystry, Chairman of the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP). “However, we can only activate the market if everyone involved pulls together, and if we make optimum use of resources and synergies through cross-company and cross-sector collaboration.” The industrial coalition marked the beginning of the energy transition with hydrogen. Since 2002, various companies united in a public-private partnership supported by the German government (represented by NOW GmbH), have demonstrated hydrogen’s suitability for everyday use and its system capability as a fuel, and introduced important standards. After the expiry of NIP 1 at the end of 2016, the partners decided to enter Phase IV of the project as a purely industrial partnership, and to concentrate their efforts on developing the technology, products, business, and market. Sustainable hydrogen production is also a topic for the CEP, as using ‘green’ hydrogen allows for reducing CO₂  emissions to an absolute minimum.

Because a nationwide network of filling stations is a prerequisite for the success of fuel-cell vehicles, six CEP members – Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and TOTAL – founded the joint venture H₂ MOBILITY. It is building the hydrogen infrastructure to supply fuel-cell cars. Their first goal, by 2019, is to operate 100 stations in the metropolitan areas of Hamburg, Berlin, Rhine-Ruhr, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Stuttgart, and Munich, as well as along main roads and motorways. H₂ MOBILITY handles all the operational tasks, including network planning, permitting, procurement, construction, and operation. Nikolas Iwan, Managing Director of H₂ MOBILITY, says: “The hydrogen mobility transition is gathering speed. In the last two years alone, the number of public filling stations for fuel-cell cars has doubled. Today, the public can refuel their hydrogen vehicles at 43 stations; 37 more are currently being planned or under construction. At the opening press conference of the H2 & BZ Group Exhibition in Hall 27, we will announce another six locations.”

“We are pleased that development is not limited to the H₂ car industry; there is also a lot of activity in rail and public transport,” says Dr Klaus Bonhoff, Managing Director of NOW National Organisation for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology, which coordinates the implementation of the National Innovation Programme Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP) on behalf of the German government. “Several public transport companies in Germany ordered a total of more than 60 fuel cell buses last year. Two prototypes of the Coradia iLint fuel-cell train are currently at the permitting stage. By 2021, fourteen of these trains are to be deployed on the Cuxhaven – Bremerhaven – Bremervörde – Buxtehude line.” NIP 2 supports research and development projects as well as market activation, and fosters networking between international players.

Berlin, 19 March 2018 – A total of three more locations have been chosen for hydrogen gas stations, one each in the federal states of Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. For the operating consortium, H2 MOBILITY, these three sites constitute an addition to its regular targets for network growth. However, the 201 letters of intent (LOI) to purchase fuel-cell vehicles submitted by the cities of Brunsbüttel, Oldenburg and Siegen are not the only factor driving this investment – these new sites also owe their existence to the winning cities’ innovative mobility solutions and holistic concepts for hydrogen production.
