Air Liquide SA said Wednesday it will build a high-pressure
hydrogen refueling station in southern France, saving more than
1,500 metric tons of carbon emissions per year.
The French company said the station will facilitate up to 20
refuelings per day of long-haul trucks with low-carbon hydrogen for
up to 800 kilometers.
The value of the project was not disclosed; however, funding
will come from the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region and the Fuel
Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking--a European public/private
partnership.
Air Liquide said the station will reduce carbon emissions by
more than 1,500 metric tons per year, or the equivalent of more
than 2 million kilometers traveled by truck.
The station will be commissioned early 2022 and will mostly
serve the first European fleet of eight 44-tonnes low-carbon
hydrogen trucks specifically designed within the project.
The company said the project is the first of its kind in
Europe.
