Shell to install hydrogen fuelling network in Germany

Shell will install a nationwide network of hydrogen fuelling pumps at retail sites in Germany from 2016, in an effort to accelerate the growth in Europe of this low-carbon alternative transport fuel. The declaration of intent signed with its H2 Mobility Germany joint venture partners and Germany’s federal Transport Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, will lead to hydrogen fuelling pumps being available at around 400 locations across the country by 2023. The company is also assessing the potential for more stations in the US, UK, Switzerland, Austria, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
