ABO Energy Receives Approval for First Hydrogen Project in Hesse, Germany
Key Ideas
  • ABO Energy receives approval for their first hydrogen project in Hesse, Germany, combining a wind turbine, green hydrogen production, and a refuelling station.
  • Construction began in May 2024, with completion planned for the first quarter of 2025 and the opening scheduled for April 2025.
  • The project, funded with twelve million euros from the German Federal Ministry, aims to link energy and transport transitions for a more sustainable future.
  • The collaboration between ABO Energy, regional authorities, and the town of Hünfeld showcases innovative solutions beyond electromobility to combat climate change.
ABO Energy has been granted permission for their first hydrogen project under the German Federal Immission Control Act. This pioneering pilot project, located near Fulda in Hesse, Germany, comprises a wind turbine, green hydrogen production, and a hydrogen refuelling station. The project, which began construction in May 2024, is progressing well with various components such as pipelines, foundations, and the refuelling station under construction. Dr. Jochen Ahn, Managing Director of ABO Energy, highlights the project's unique feature of producing green hydrogen locally using electricity generated by a nearby wind turbine, further complemented by plans for additional photovoltaic power. The initiative has received approval from the regional council and is a key part of the German energy and transport transitions. Mayor Benjamin Tschesnok of Hünfeld emphasizes the importance of such innovative projects for climate protection and future mobility. The project is not only locally beneficial but also receives significant funding from the German Federal Ministry as part of the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology. The cooperation between various stakeholders, including ABO Energy, regional authorities, and the town of Hünfeld, exemplifies a collaborative approach towards sustainable development and combating climate change.
