Sweden's first hydrogen refilling station with 700 bar pressure inaugurated
Hydrogen is now available for FCEVs in Sweden.
On the 9:th of June Next Move delivered an important milestone when the Hydrogen Refuelling Station in Malmö was inaugurated.
The ribbon cutting was done by Pontus Lindberg (Conservative) and Monika Ekström (Green), Members of the Regional Executive Board in Skåne, together with Lari Pitkä-Kangas (Green), Deputy Mayor of the City of Malmö.
Some 350 bar stations have been operated in Stockholm and Malmö earlier in other projects. Now we have a 700 bar HRS for the first time in Sweden and funding for two years of operation is already in place.
Lucie Tonnellier, Air Liquide, gave a speech followed by a panel discussion between David Bjerkdahl, Hyundai, Cecilia Wallmark, Sweco, and Björn Aronsson, Hydrogen Sweden. Moderator during the event was Anna Alexandersson, SP.
The HRS buitlt within the Next Move project is more than the first HRS in Sweden operating wit 700 bar: it is the first HRS procured in Sweden.
Initialy the intention was to make a common procurement in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Differences in the legislation however made it impossible. Stations had to be procured separately in each country.

After the opening we made an interview with Lucie Tonnelier from Air Liquide.

Hyundai delivers the first FCEVs to Sweden
Hyundai's managing director Thomas Holm hands over the keys to Monika Ekström and Pontus Lindberg, Region Skåne.
The Region Skåne has now received its two ix35 FCEV from Hyundai. The cars are among the first from the assembly line produced fuel cell vehicles from the Korean automaker. The purchase is the result of the Region Skåne’s years of determined work towards a fossil free transport. It is also a delivery in the Next Move project, which has brought an additional six cars to the city of Copenhagen and one to the municipality of Skedsmo.
“We intend to continue in this way towards an acceptable infrastructure. We are looking at different solutions to reach our goal”, says Pontus Lindberg, Chair of the Regional Growth Committee, in a press release from Hyundai Bilar AB.
”Region Skåne is the fifth largest employer in Sweden, with this comes a responsibility to pave way”, Monika Ekström, Chair of the Committee on Properties and Services, comments the engagement in hydrogen development. “Our ambition is to produce zero emission hydrogen, mainly by wind and hydropower”, she continues.
Thomas Holm, the managing director of Hyundai in Sweden, delivered the cars in Malmö on the 28th of June 2013.

H2 Logic builds hydrogen refueling station in 48 hours
H2 Logic HRS Copenhagen
Today a new Hydrogen Refueling Station from H2 Logic was opened in Copenhagen together with the handover of 15 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles from Hyundai to the City of Copenhagen. The refueling station is based on the H2Station® CAR-100 product and was installed in only 48 hours before conducting of the first refueling. The CAR-100 has been developed to enable a swift and cost-effective deployment of an initial network of re-fueling stations to support car manufacturers’ efforts on FCEV market introduction.
The Copenhagen hydrogen refueling station and fuel cell electric vehicles are part of the HyTEC and Next Move demonstration projects supported by the European FCH-JU, Interreg and Danish EUDP programs.

Skedsmo municipality procures a fuel cell car
Skedsmo leads the way and is among the first in Norway to procure a hydrogen vehicle! The municipality has ordered a Hyundai ix35 for delivery by 1 June.
Skedsmo participates in Next Move, with the aim to contribute to the Scandinavia region being an early adopter of fuel cell vehicles. The cars are currently expensive, since they are produced in small volumes. The more users, the lower the price will be. It is very positive that Skedsmo municipality goes ahead and purchases a car.
The car will be filled up at the HRS at Hynor Lillestrøm.
Malmö and Skåne procures a hydrogen refuelling station
The City of Malmö and Region Skåne have for several years worked strategically to convert to a fossil free transport. Hydrogen has been included as a part of the solution and both the city and the region have collaborated with Hydrogen Sweden and other actors in various projects, including the Next Move, for a long time.
Now the work has brought results and on 8 April, the City of Malmö announced that they enter into a procurement of a hydrogen refuelling station along with, among others, the Region Skåne
The station is, like the fuel cell cars that have been procured, a result of the Next Move project.
