Hydrogenics Corporation will supply a HySTAT-60 electrolyzer for a hydrogen fueling station to be based in southern Germany.

The electrolyzer is anticipated to be delivered this year and will be capable of producing up to 130 kilograms per day of green hydrogen fuel from wind power to be used in electric fuel cell vehicles.

The use of clean wind power further demonstrates that a carbon free chain using electrolysis has its place in the future energy mix for transport applications.

Establishing a public hydrogen infrastructure is crucial for the successful introduction of fuel cell vehicles in Europe.

In recent months a number of public reports have come to light which dramatically highlight the need for hydrogen infrastructure and fuel cell vehicles to become a significant part of Europe's transportation solution if carbon-emission targets to 2050 are to be met.

"The link between renewable energy and electrolysis, as a means to generate hydrogen for transportation continues to be of interest in Europe by enabling smart grid stabilization and energy storage capacity well beyond alternative solutions.

Hydrogenics is a leading supplier of electrolysis-based hydrogen fueling stations, with over 35 installations across the globe.

This award continues to strengthen our position as a leading provider of hydrogen fueling station equipment in Europe," said Daryl Wilson, Hydrogenics President and Chief Executive Officer.
