Fuel cell vehicles mobilise the Steinfurt district

Mobility

The district of Steinfurt is becoming a hydrogen region that will in future use its locally generated renewable energies to produce green hydrogen and power fuel cells. What could be more natural than to go ahead and show that hydrogen mobility is possible in rural areas? The district of Steinfurt wants to set a good example with the inter-communal use of fuel cell vehicles. This enables the establishment of structures and is part of the mobility transformation in the region. The district of Steinfurt has an important role model function for local climate protection. With this step, it is fulfilling this function for municipal vehicle fleets, company fleets and citizens. Furthermore, this is another step towards the goal of a climate-neutral district administration by 2030. The fuel cell vehicle will be available to employees as a company vehicle in the fleet pool. The handling will be explained on the intranet, demonstrated in a short training session when the vehicle is collected and presented to all interested parties in the office during an action day. Refuelling will take place at the H2 filling station in Steinfurt planned for 2020. The filling station will meet the NIP requirement to use renewable sources. By 2023, there will be two more H2 refuelling stations (public + more for buses), which will be supplied 100% with green hydrogen from renewable energy sources from various producer locations in the Steinfurt district and mobile distribution via truck.
