ASF Solar GmbH, a joint subsidiary of ASF and badenovaWÄRMEPLUS, is responsible for the project. In addition to the new hydrogen filling station, ASF Solar will also be building an electrolysis plant on the Eichelbuck site starting in 2026. Its energy needs will be largely covered by a purpose-built photovoltaic system. Green hydrogen will thus be produced directly on-site. The holistic concept combines the transition to climate-neutral drive systems with the development of a dedicated hydrogen infrastructure, thus laying the foundation for permanently sustainable municipal waste disposal.
The total investment for the entire project is approximately €8 million. Of this, €4.25 million in funding has been provided to date: €3 million from the City of Freiburg’s Future Fund, €600,000 from the State of Baden-Württemberg, €500,000 from the Innovation and Technology Promotion Agency (itg) through the trinational “Hydrogen Valley South Baden” project, and €150,000 from the badenova Innovation Fund.
