BERLIN based organisation driving towards cleaner fuels has taken another step towards friendly mobility.
Clean Energy Partnership (CEP), which is one of the largest hydrogen demonstration projects in the world, has opened its second hydrogen service station.
The hydrogen system, which is integrated into a newly erected conventional TOTAL service station, provides a basis for emission-free transport in the capital. Hydrogen buses and automobiles of various kinds can be fuelled here with liquid (LH2) or gaseous (CGH2) hydrogen. The service station provides a platform for the European hydrogen project HyFLEET:CUTE, which will also be started in Berlin with a fleet of some 14 hydrogen buses used by the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG).
‘The opening of the service station at the Heerstraße is a new highlight of the commitment to hydrogen in Berlin made by TOTAL in 2002,’ the managing director of TOTAL Deutschland GmbH, Thierry Pflimlin, emphasised. ‘With this service station we place special emphasis on the development of hydrogen-powered public transport. This service station thus plays an important role in the continued development of the CEP and opens up perspectives for further hydrogen activities in Berlin.’
