ABO Energy, a company based in Germany, has been granted permission for its first hydrogen project in Hesse, near the city of Fulda. The project, a pilot initiative, comprises a wind turbine, green hydrogen production, and a hydrogen refuelling station with a trailer filling station. The construction work, which began in May 2024, includes various aspects such as pipelines, foundations, walls, and the roof of the refuelling station. The project is set to be completed by the first quarter of 2025, with the official opening scheduled for April 2025. Dr. Jochen Ahn, Managing Director of ABO Energy, highlights the project's unique aspect of generating green hydrogen through a wind turbine connected directly to an electrolyser. Additionally, plans are in place to install additional photovoltaic power to supplement electricity production. The regional council, responsible for approving the electrolyser, views this project as a significant step towards a sustainable future, given its role in the energy and transport transition. The collaboration between ABO Energy, regional authorities, and the town of Hünfeld is crucial for the project's success. Mayor Benjamin Tschesnok emphasizes the importance of such innovative concepts for climate protection and future mobility solutions. The German Ministry for Digital and Transport Affairs is providing funding through the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology, as well as the European Recovery and Resilience Facilities, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable energy projects. Overall, the project represents a model of local collaboration and innovation driving towards a greener future.
