NIP II - H2-PKWs-KST

Fuel cell vehicles mobilize the Steinfurt district

Mobility

The District of Steinfurt would like to be a Hydrogen Region that uses renewable energy generated locally for the generation of green hydrogen and the drive of fuel cells. So what could be more obvious than to take the lead and show that hydrogen mobility is possible in rural areas. The City of Horstmar would like to set an example in cooperation with the District of Steinfurt with the use of fuel cell vehicles. This enables the development of structures and is part of the mobility change in the region. The City of Horstmar is an important role model for local climate protection. With this step, it is fulfilling this function towards municipal vehicle fleets, company fleets and citizens. Furthermore, this is also a further step towards the goal of a climate-friendly local administration. The fuel cell vehicle will be available to employees as a company vehicle. The handling will be explained on the intranet, given in a short training session when the vehicle is picked up and presented to all interested parties in the office on an action day. Refueling will take place at the H2 filling station in Steinfurt planned for 2020. The filling station will meet the NIP requirement for the use of renewable sources. By 2023, there will be two additional H2 filling stations (public + further for buses), which will be supplied 100% with green hydrogen from renewable energies from various generator locations in the Steinfurt district and mobile distribution via trucks.
