SWDhydrogenium

Hydrogen from Düsseldorf for Düsseldorf

Hydrogen production

Stadtwerke Düsseldorf and Rheinbahn are investing in hydrogen technology to decarbonize the transport sector. In the SWDhydrogenium project, the companies are cooperating with the experienced water filling station operator H2 MOBILITY Deutschland. Stadtwerke Düsseldorf is investing in an electrolyzer with a performance of one Megawatt (MW) to be able to produce green hydrogen locally in the future. As part of the conversion of its fleet to climate-friendly drives, Rheinbahn is purchasing 20 fuel cell buses. The first ten will be delivered in 2023. These buses will be refueled at a filling station belonging to partner company H2 MOBILITY on the Stadtwerke site on Höherweg in Düsseldorf-Flingern. The project is being funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport as part of the National Innovation Program for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology with a total of around 1.2 million euros. The funding guidelines are coordinated by NOW GmbH and implemented by the Project Management Agency Jülich (PtJ). The total cost of implementing the project is three million euros.
