Air Products to Develop European Hydrogen Network for Sustainable Transportation
Key Ideas
- Air Products plans to build commercial-scale hydrogen stations across Europe near major transportation routes to create a safe hydrogen ecosystem.
- The stations will feature advanced fueling technology, multiple pressure options, and liquid hydrogen storage for heavy-duty transportation.
- The network will be supplied with renewable hydrogen from Air Products' global network, with efforts to double Europe's liquid hydrogen capacity.
- Partnership with Daimler Truck involves a pilot project with Mercedes-Benz GenH2 trucks to gain insights into liquid hydrogen fueling and contribute to the hydrogen ecosystem.
Air Products has announced plans to develop a network of commercial-scale hydrogen stations in Europe near the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) to support sustainable heavy-duty transportation. The stations will include advanced fueling technology and liquid hydrogen storage for reliability. These stations will be supplied with renewable hydrogen from Air Products' global network, with a new hydrogen liquefaction plant in Rotterdam set to double Europe's liquid hydrogen capacity. Air Products has partnered with Daimler Truck for a pilot project involving Mercedes-Benz GenH2 trucks to gain practical insights into liquid hydrogen fueling. This initiative is a significant step towards establishing a comprehensive hydrogen refueling network in Europe, emphasizing the importance of hydrogen-powered vehicles in achieving sustainable transportation.
