H2 Mobility, BASF partner to build new hydrogen station

Located in the city of Frankenthal, the new public refueling location is to be commissioned for this year’s fourth quarter.

H2 Mobility Deutschland and BASF are jointly investing in the construction of a new hydrogen refueling station in the city of Frankenthal. 

In the presence of Frankenthal’s Mayor, Dr. Nicolas Meyer, the project partners have now presented the construction progress of the new H2 site, with commissioning planned for the fourth quarter of 2024. The public refueling station is being built next to the BASF site.

Both companies expect that the location will cater to cars and light commercial vehicles as well as trucks and buses.

“A daily capacity of 700 to 800 kilograms of hydrogen is planned for the first expansion stage, which corresponds to more than 30 trucks or buses. H2 Mobility, the builder and operator of the refueling station, plans to double the capacity in a second expansion phase by 2027,”’ said Martin Jüngel, Managing Director and CFO of H2 Mobility Deutschland.

BASF will invest proportionately in the planned 350-bar module as part of the project.  The company aims to help initiate a cross-sector hydrogen economy in the region.

Thanks to its location on the A6 motorway via the Ludwigshafen Nord junction, the refueling station is strategically located and easily accessible for logistics traffic in Rhineland-Palatinate and the transnational region.
