Green Hydrogen Revolution in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: H2APEX Powers rebus Fleet with Sustainable Energy
Key Ideas
- H2APEX collaborates with rebus Regionalbus Rostock GmbH to introduce 52 hydrogen buses powered by green hydrogen, celebrating the official launch in Güstrow.
- The initiative contributes to climate neutrality and aligns with citizens' desires for public transport to transition to climate-neutral vehicles.
- The hydrogen refueling stations in Güstrow and Bad Doberan, constructed by H2APEX, are part of a 6 million euros contract, with expected revenue of at least 21 million euros from hydrogen sales.
- H2APEX operates a 2 MW hydrogen electrolysis plant in Rostock-Laage, producing green hydrogen exclusively from renewable energies, with plans to expand production capacity in eastern Germany.
In a significant step towards sustainability, rebus Regionalbus Rostock GmbH has partnered with hydrogen specialist H2APEX to transition its fleet to alternative propulsion with green hydrogen. H2APEX, known for its expertise in developing green hydrogen electrolysis plants, has been entrusted with the planning, construction, operation, and maintenance of hydrogen refueling stations at rebus depots in Güstrow and Bad Doberan. The official launch of the fleet in Güstrow, consisting of 52 hydrogen buses and attended by notable figures, marks a milestone in the region's journey towards climate neutrality.
The move towards green hydrogen aligns with the public's desire for climate-neutral transport, as highlighted in a survey conducted by H2APEX. The project, valued at 6 million euros for the refueling stations' construction, is expected to generate significant revenue from hydrogen sales, supporting the expansion of hydrogen technology.
H2APEX's operational hydrogen electrolysis plant in Rostock-Laage will provide the required green hydrogen for rebus, sourced from renewable energies like wind and solar power. The company's commitment to sustainability extends to expanding production capacity, with plans for a 100 MW hydrogen plant by 2027.
Additionally, H2APEX has successfully operated a hydrogen refueling station for heavy-duty traffic near Rostock-Laage Airport since 2022, demonstrating the efficacy of climate-neutral hydrogen production on-site. The collaboration between H2APEX and rebus, complemented by Resato Hydrogen Technology's expertise, signals a concerted effort to drive the hydrogen economy and promote sustainable infrastructure in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
