Air Liquide : Four New Hydrogen Filling Stations in Denmark

Regulatory News :
Air Liquide (Paris:AI) is going to install four new hydrogen
filling stations in Denmark, as part of the Copenhagen Hydrogen
Network, supported by the European Commission.
These four filling stations - two in Copenhagen, one in
Aalborg and one in Vejle - will join two stations
already in service, located in Copenhagen and in
Holstebro. This development is a significant step in the
creation of a distribution network at national level.
With these filling stations, which will be commissioned by Air
Liquide with the help of its partner H2 Logic by the end of 2014,
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles will be able to refuel all over the
country in under five minutes, for a range of 500
km.
All of these filling stations will be fitted with an
electrolyser, allowing them to produce the hydrogen on site. This
additional technology will produce totally decarbonised
hydrogen (with no CO2 emissions) using clean electricity from
renewable energy sources as part of the plan announced by the
Danish government in 2012, whose target is to have 100 % of
renewable energies by 2050.
Air Liquide is actively involved in setting up the hydrogen
energy industry at global level, in particular through
initiatives aimed at building hydrogen filling stations in Germany,
Belgium and the Netherlands, France, Great Britain, Switzerland,
the USA, South Korea and Japan. In 2012, Air Liquide inaugurated
its first hydrogen filling station for the general public, in
Düsseldorf, Germany.
Hydrogen helps to preserve the environment by providing
solutions for the challenges of sustainable mobility: to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions as well as local pollution in urban areas.
The creation of a distribution infrastructure is one of
the key challenges for the commercial development of Fuel
Cell Electric Vehicles.
François Darchis, member of Air Liquide's Executive
Committee supervising Innovation, commented: "The creation of a
network of hydrogen filling stations in Denmark represents a
significant step forward. This is the first hydrogen infrastructure
network in Europe at the level of an entire country. This new
project is testimony to Air Liquide's commitment to rolling out
hydrogen technologies in order to advance sustainable
mobility."
Hydrogen, a clean energy
carrierUsed in the fuel cell, hydrogen combines with
oxygen from the air to produce electricity, with water as the only
by-product. Hydrogen can be produced from a wide range of energy
sources, natural gas in particular, but also from renewable energy
sources. Hydrogen is, therefore, one of the solutions for providing
clean energy and ensuring reliability of supply.Air Liquide is
present across the entire hydrogen energy chain (production,
distribution, high-pressure storage, fuel cells, and hydrogen
filling stations).

Hydrogen, Air Liquide is moving towards a gradual decarbonisation
of its hydrogen production dedicated to energy applications. In
practical terms, Air Liquide is committed to producing at least 50
% of the hydrogen necessary for these applications through
carbon-free processes by 2020, by combining:
- renewable energy sources, water
electrolysis and biogas reforming,
- carbon capture and storage technologies
during the hydrogen production process based on natural gas.
