Heinenoord, The Netherlands, 11 March, 2022 - The new hydrogen station in
Heinenoord in South Holland was today declared open as the station started
supplying a fleet of 20 fuel cell buses with green hydrogen.
Today the new heavy-duty hydrogen refuelling station built by Everfuel in
Heinenoord, NL, started dispensing hydrogen for a fleet of 20 hydrogen buses
from Connexxion that are co-funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership as part of
the JIVE 2 project. The station was realised through a close collaboration
between the province of Zuid-Holland, the municipality of Hoeksche Waard,
Connexxion who operates the buses and Everfuel who built and operates the
station.
Ready for the future
The station has the capacity to accommodate 50+ fuel cell buses in a redundant
set-up. The station can be scaled up to accommodate fuelling of other fuel cell
vehicles such as trucks in the future. This is a major step in the energy
transition in the province of Zuid-Holland, where the aim is to provide zero
emission public transport by 2030. Everfuel will be supplying the station with
green hydrogen produced at sites in the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark for a
minimum of 12 years.
Grand opening
At the opening Connexxion demonstrated how a fuel cell bus is refuelled with
hydrogen and Everfuel gave a tour of the station and a look behind the scenes.
"The opening of the new hydrogen refuelling station is an essential step towards
reaching our ambition: zero emission public transport by 2030," says Frederik
Zevenbergen, regional minister at the province of Zuid-Holland.
"We are delighted to contribute to the decarbonisation of the public transport
in the province of Zuid-Holland. Adopting new technologies to fight climate
change is something we take great pride in, and we look forward to operating the
fleet of hydrogen buses," says Ben Dwars the regional director at Connexxion.
"The station in Heinenoord is one of the largest hydrogen stations in Europe.
Building such a station with the support of the visionary collaborators, has
been a great pleasure. It truly demonstrates that the energy transition is
happening now, and that green hydrogen is a sustainable energy carrier on the
way to reaching fossil-free transportation," says Jacob Krogsgaard the CEO at
Everfuel.
