Hydrogen production

The central high-pressure hydrogen filling centre "H2ub" with a capacity of 3 tonnes of H2 per day is being built on Friesenheim Island in Mannheim. It will thus be the heart and backbone of all mobility applications of the overall H2Rivers project. Air Liquide will build the compression plant as a partner in the consortium.

The H2ub combines the hydrogen demand of many individual projects and thus enables supply security at economic conditions. The green hydrogen will be produced in large-scale generation facilities at the neighbouring BASF plant in Ludwigshafen. In the H2ub, the hydrogen is purified for use in fuel cells and compressed for filling into tankers.

The H2ub will supply both existing and future H2 mobility applications in the region with hydrogen. For the necessary transport of the hydrogen from the central filling centre to the filling stations, a total of 12 hydrogen tankers will also be procured, which can be used as additional mobile storage tanks.
