(Reußenköge) – Schleswig-Holstein is getting two more hydrogen filling stations. The locations are in the Lübeck area on the A1 and on the A7 near Schleswig. GP Joule GmbH received the construction contract. The company will also supply the plants with green hydrogen in the future.
The filling stations are accessible to trucks, buses and cars with fuel cell technology. Commissioning is scheduled for the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. GP Joule already operates two gas stations in Niebüll and Husum, North Frisia, and more are being planned, according to a statement.
The two new stations are being built as part of the “Greater4H” projects under the leadership of the “String” network (South Western Baltic Sea Transregional Area – Implementing New Geography), which includes GP Joule, Everfuel (Denmark) and Hynion (Norway). String is initiating a total of 14 such stations along the main traffic route from Hamburg to Oslo. Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway primarily want to promote the use of green hydrogen in heavy-duty transport and thus move away from diesel.
Funding comes from the EU fund “Connecting Europe Facility” (CEF), which in turn comes from the “Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility” (AFIF) program, which supports the expansion of the trans-European networks (Trans-European Transport Network, TEN-T). In addition to the development of a hydrogen infrastructure, this also includes roads, railways and airports as well as telecommunications and energy networks (see also “Ticker” from today: “String receives 12,4 million euros in funding”).
