Bavaria is hard on NRW\u2019s heels with 17 stations. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The network of stations where fuel-cell vehicles can fill up with hydrogen is steadily expanding. Germany already has 83 H<sub>2<\/sub> 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.<\/p>\n<p>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 H<sub>2<\/sub> filling stations in Essen, M\u00fclheim, Duisburg, Herten, Ratingen, and Wuppertal. The new facility in Dortmund is located in City Centre North at the Sch\u00fctzenstrasse Shell station, close to the A45 and B54 motorways.<\/p>\n<p>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 H<sub>2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hydrogen-powered e-mobility reduces <\/strong><strong>CO<\/strong><strong><sub>2 <\/sub><\/strong><strong>emissions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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 CO<sub>2 <\/sub>emissions.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comments on the opening of the Passau H<\/strong><strong>\u2082<\/strong><strong> station <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomas Westphal, Managing Director of the City of Dortmund Economic Development Agency <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDortmund is currently developing a hydrogen strategy with local and regional companies tying in to the major \u2018Cleanport\u2019 and \u2018Huckarde Energy Campus\u2019 projects.
