Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz opened the hydrogen filling station of HY.City.Bremerhaven GmbH & Co. KG , the GP JOULE reported.
“We want and will remain a strong, successful industrial country. We can only achieve this in the long term if we organize our prosperity in a CO2-neutral way,” said the Chancellor in his speech at the opening of the hydrogen project, which was co-initiated by GP JOULE and has already been awarded the Bremen Environmental Prize.
The Federal Chancellor cut the ribbon to mark the ceremonial opening of the filling station together with the managing directors of HY.City.Bremerhaven Andreas Wellbrock and André Steinau, as well as André Kiwitz from the shareholder Green Fuels, the SPD member of the Bundestag Uwe Schmidt, Bremen’s mayor Andreas Bovenschulte and Melanie Jessen, managing director of the general contractor GP JOULE HYDROGEN.
HY.City.Bremerhaven is:
more than five years of planning and construction,
2 megawatts of electrolysis,
8 shareholders from the region
and the first public hydrogen filling station in Bremerhaven.
“We have done pioneering work by setting up the first hydrogen ecosystem,” says HY.City.Bremerhaven Managing Director Andreas Wellbrock.
Melanie Jessen, Managing Director of GP JOULE HYDROGEN: “Producing hydrogen in this country is essential for the energy system of the future in order to convert the green electricity, store it and make it available to all sectors.”
The filling station is now starting test operations and will be open to everyone in March.
