Hexagon Purus, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Wystrach GmbH, has received an order for mobile hydrogen refuelling stations and stationary storage from Deutsche Bahn, a leading provider of mobility and logistics services worldwide and a railway operator in Europe. Hexagon Purus’ mobile hydrogen refuelling stations and stationary storage, including its type 4 hydrogen cylinders, will be used for rail and other mobile applications in Germany. The value of the order is approximately €2.5 million (approximately NOK25 million).
“Our mobile hydrogen refuelling station offers a plug-and-play solution for our customer with one-day installation onsite” says Matthias Kötter, Head of Sales Wystrach, Hexagon Purus. “The mobile hydrogen refuelling station enables emission-free logistics and intralogistics with no limit to where it can be deployed to support hydrogen fleet adoption”.
The mobility sector is accountable for approximately 20% of annual carbon emissions globally, and hydrogen has a significant role to play in reducing these emissions, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors. Making green hydrogen available for use in amongst other the mobility sector is critical to reducing carbon emissions.
As hydrogen, a key contributor to the energy transition, continues to build momentum globally, more than 30 countries have released hydrogen roadmaps, over US$70 billion in government funding is committed to hydrogen investments, more than 500 large-scale hydrogen projects have been announced by the industry to date, and green hydrogen is projected to supply up to 25% of the world's energy needs by 2050.
Delivery of the hydrogen mobile refuelling stations and stationary storage is scheduled from 2Q23 to 4Q23.
