widespread commercialisation of this technology."
- Environmentally friendly car sharing initiative BeeZero benefits from
improved infrastructure.
Munich, 12 January 2017 - The technology company The Linde Group continues
to invest in building out Germany's hydrogen refuelling network. The
company has converted its test and development centre at its production
site in Unterschleissheim (17 kilometres north of Munich) to a public
fuelling station. Drivers of fuel-cell cars can now refuel with
environmentally friendly hydrogen at the site (Monday to Friday, 6 a.m. to
10 p.m.).
For more than ten years the "Linde Hydrogen Centre" has been serving as a
hydrogen supply point, technology test centre and presentation platform.
The centre's impressive architecture with three transparent, circular roof
segments makes it a striking backdrop to showcase the benefits of hydrogen.
The centre initially served as a fuelling station for a test fleet of
hydrogen-fuelled cars and buses, including a shuttle bus used during the
2006 football World Cup. In 2007, the site was designated one of the "365
Landmarks in the Land of Ideas" by the initiative "Germany - Land of
Ideas". Today, the fuelling station is primarily used by test vehicles from
BMW and the car sharing fleet run by BeeZero. In summer 2016, the new
affiliate Linde Hydrogen Concepts started operating the world's first car
sharing scheme to exclusively offer hydrogen-fuelled vehicles under the
name of BeeZero. The new station near Munich provides owners of fuel-cell
cars with a second refuelling option in addition to the TOTAL station in
the city's Detmoldstrasse. Further stations will be added over the coming
months.
Linde has gained many years of expertise along the entire hydrogen value
chain and has equipped over 100 hydrogen fuelling stations around the
world. In addition, Linde collaborates with partner companies to explore
new pathways in the sustainable production of hydrogen using renewable
energy sources.
The revamp activities have received funding from the Federal Ministry of
Transport and Digital Infrastructure.
In the 2015 financial year, The Linde Group generated revenue of EUR 17.944
bn, making it one of the leading gases and engineering companies in the
world, with approximately 65,000 employees working in more than 100
countries worldwide. The strategy of The Linde Group is geared towards
long-term profitable growth and focuses on the expansion of its
international business with forward-looking products and services. Linde
acts responsibly towards its shareholders, business partners, employees,
society and the environment in every one of its business areas, regions and
locations across the globe. The company is committed to technologies and
products that unite the goals of customer value and sustainable
development.
