LOCAL AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS IN GERMANY, DENMARK, SWEDEN AND NORWAY UNVEILS
PLANS TO ESTABLISH A CONNECTED NETWORK OF HYDROGEN FUELLING STATIONS FROM
HAMBURG TO OSLO. 

The alternatives to fossil fuels are already here, and hydrogen fuel cell
technology is a bright green hope for a seamless zero-emission revolution in
road transport. STRING members are now planning to invest in the fuelling
network that will make it all possible. 

A hydrogen vehicle refuels in 5-12 minutes, making it possible to transport
goods and people without the logistical challenges of charging battery-operated
alternatives. Moreover, hydrogen vehicles are silent, and their only by-product
is water. However, to make hydrogen fuels a reliable alternative to petrol and
diesel, we have to make it available. By supporting the introduction of hydrogen
vehicles through the establishment of fuelling infrastructure, local governments
provide the opportunity to put an end to the era of fossil fuels and eliminate
hazardous particle pollution and CO2 emission from the transport sector. 

To solve the issue of fuelling infrastructure, STRING members and six private
companies has initiated a cross- border public/private partnership to invest in
a series of hydrogen fuelling stations, with the help of EU funding. If
approved, the project GREATER4H will accelerate the deployment of hydrogen
vehicles in the entire megaregion and make Northern Europe a global frontrunner
in the green transition of road transport. 

The private partners Everfuel (DK), Hynion (NO) and GP JOULE (DE) will build and
operate the refuelling stations, while Quantron Mechanics (DE) will lead the
work in developing financial and market incentives needed to increase demand for
hydrogen trucks. GREATER4H will act as catalyst in speeding up deliveries of
hydrogen vehicles from equipment manufacturer. In addition, Ørsted (DK) and
RENOVA (SE) have joined GREATER4H as associated partners to contribute with
unique perspectives on supply of green hydrogen and end-user perspective as
operators of hydrogen trucks. The 13 public authorities in STRING will
contribute to GREATER4H by encouraging harmonized regulation related to the
roll-out of hydrogen infrastructure. 

The project was developed under the STRING chairmanship of Schleswig-Holstein
and Schleswig-Holstein will lead GREATER4H in the future. According to According
to Minister of Justice, European Affairs and Consumer Protection, Claus
Christian Claussen "a zero-emission transport sector is only possible with a
zero-emission fuelling network. If we succeed, Greater4H will be a great leap
forward for the green transition, and it will illustrate how we can achieve a
full decarbonization of road transport." 

About STRING 
STRING is a membership organisation that connects local governments from
Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, to collaborate on cross-border
infrastructure development, facilitate the green transition in the transport
sector and accelerate innovation and export in green tech. 

About Hynion
Hynion builds and operates hydrogen stations in and around the largest cities in
Scandinavia. The company builds on experiences from the last 20 years, including
world-leading projects such as HyNor, CUTE, Utsira wind/hydrogen, CEP Berlin,
SHHP, NewBusFuel and H2ME, to name a few. The company's management also has
extensive experience in establishing and operating start-up companies and years
of experience in the automotive industry.
