A new hydrogen refuelling station is being built in Germany, specifically Hallstadt, and the company conducting this project is MorGen Mobility. This project was kickstarted once it became official that the Bavarian State has been agreed to fund the project.

Throughout this project, the green hydrogen that is used will be sourced from regional production facilities. Further to this, it has been planned that the refuelling station will be based an estimated 167km south of the German hydrogen core network checkpoint, which is in Erfurt.

Within a press statement it was revealed that MorGen’s planned network of hydrogen refuelling stations are due to be located across industrial areas, as well as commercial areas within Germany. It has also been suggested that there is a plan for there to be three additional locations added to this project, which will become operational by the end of 2025.

Once the refuelling station has been built, it will be designed to offer green hydrogen at both 350 and 700 bar pressure levels. These pressure levels will be available to service light and heavy-duty vehicles, buses and finally, passenger cars. Right now it is planned that the facility will open in Spring of 2025.

The Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development, and Energy stated that they would, ‘support MorGen’s development at the Cleantech Innovation Park.’ This site is based near to the A70 and A73 motorways.

Head of Supply Chain and Operations at MorGen Mobility, Werner Leitner, commented, “The state – the second in our network – will enable access to green hydrogen for the mobility of tomorrow.”

Bavaria’s Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy, Hubert Aiwanger, mentioned, “Hydrogen offers significant advantages for freight and passenger transportation, particularly over long distances. To fully harness this potential, we are committed to advancing the expansion of hydrogen infrastructure across Bavaria.”
