Green hydrogen is becoming one of the fundamental pillars for the decarbonization of the economy with the promotion of different initiatives developed in the national and international markets.
In this context of the energy transition, the Burgos company Hiperbaric, a pioneer in our country in the development of hydrogen compression equipment for industry and sustainable mobility, has just supplied the first 100% Spanish technology compressor in the foreign market to supply hydrogen to the refueling station for sustainable buses in the German city of Bielefeld.
The hydrogen compressor for Germany has been acquired by Framatome, one of the world’s leading companies offering energy storage solutions and renewable hydrogen fueling stations for mobility.
The Bielefeld hydrogen station will have a supply capacity of 120 kg of hydrogen per day, which will be used to move four buses in circulation 24 hours a day, with performance greater than 85% and a hydrogen purity greater than 99%.
These first four hydrogen buses will prevent carbon dioxide from being emitted into the air every day with the use of clean, sustainable, and environmentally friendly energy.
According to a study carried out by the company Framatome, a hydrogen bus saves more than half of the carbon dioxide emissions throughout its useful life compared to a bus that runs on diesel.
For Andrés Hernando, CEO of Hiperbaric, this project is a boost for the company’s international expansion process in the field of hydrogen. “There are very few companies in the world focused on high-pressure hydrogen compression, which is today one of the challenges for the success of hydrogen as an energy vector, and to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and natural gas”, Fernando points out.
