New Hydrogen filling station for Hürth

Air Products (NYSE:APD) and Stadtwerke Hürth have signed an agreement to build and operate a new hydrogen refueling station. The refueling station will be located on the site of Bonnstrasse 232 below the Eschweiler Strasse retail park. In addition to the buses and waste vehicles of Stadtwerke Hürth, it will also offer third parties the opportunity to refuel their vehicles with hydrogen. Accordingly, the filling station will be designed to allow refueling at pressures of 350 and 700 bar. Air Products will not only build the facility, but also take over its complete operation, including the supply of the hydrogen. The opening is planned for 2023.

Stadtwerke Hürth and Air Products have been working together for many years. Air Products already built the Stadtwerke's first hydrogen filling station on the site of the Hürth Knapsack Chemical Park. "We are very pleased to be working with Stadtwerke Hürth on this forward-looking project," says Jörg Hömberg, Managing Director of Air Products GmbH, based in Hattingen. "By building a hydrogen filling station that is also accessible to the public, Stadtwerke Hürth is once again in a pioneering role and setting an example for sustainable mobility. We support this with our expertise in the construction of hydrogen filling stations that are easy and safe to use. Thanks to our experience, we can design, construct and install refueling stations in such a way that they really meet our customers' needs. As the owner of the refueling station in Hürth, we take over the complete operation and maintenance. This concept makes it easy for companies to enter the world of hydrogen mobility. We make this technology available without our customers having to become experts here themselves."
