Opening of First Public Hydrogen Filling Station in Climate City Bremerhaven
Key Ideas
  • Federal Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, inaugurates the first public hydrogen filling station in Climate City Bremerhaven, marking a milestone towards sustainable mobility.
  • The HY.City.Bremerhaven project, co-initiated by GP JOULE, involves a local hydrogen ecosystem with green hydrogen production and fueling station, supported by various stakeholders.
  • Hydrogen plays a crucial role in the energy transition, as producing green hydrogen domestically is essential for ensuring a sustainable energy supply for households, industry, and transportation.
  • The project received 5.5 million euros in funding from the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology, showcasing government support for hydrogen initiatives.
Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, alongside HY.City.Bremerhaven's management, has officially opened the first public hydrogen filling station in Bremerhaven, part of the sustainable hydrogen project initiated by GP JOULE. This marks a significant step towards promoting sustainable mobility. After years of planning and construction, the HY.City.Bremerhaven project is now operational, with a dedicated hydrogen production plant providing green hydrogen for the filling station. The Chancellor emphasized the importance of organizing prosperity in a climate-neutral manner for long-term industrial success. The inauguration ceremony included key stakeholders like the Managing Directors of HY.City.Bremerhaven and representatives from Green Fuels and political figures. The hydrogen filling station will undergo a test phase before opening to the public in March. BremerhavenBus, a shareholder in HY.City.Bremerhaven, will utilize the station to refuel its hydrogen-powered buses. This initiative highlights the significance of green hydrogen production for the energy system and the transition to sustainable energy sources. HY.City.Bremerhaven's project is part of the HyPerformer region's efforts to establish green hydrogen in the transport sector, receiving substantial funding from the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology. The project aims to support the expansion of the domestic hydrogen economy for a sustainable energy supply.
