, through its wholly owned subsidiary, (Weeze, Germany), has received its first order for hydrogen distribution systems from (Heide, Germany), a full-service provider of green hydrogen projects. Hexagon Purus’ hydrogen distribution systems including its Type IV hydrogen tanks will be used to both transport hydrogen and as mobile storage for the planned network of green hydrogen refueling stations in Germany. The value of the order is approximately €2.2 million (approximately NOK 22 million) and represents the first hydrogen distribution systems order with delivery in 2024.
“Partnering with the best and most experienced suppliers on the market is crucial to successfully implement our business strategy in an economical and competitive way,” Dr. Stefan Rehm, development director of Hypion, says. “We are glad to get Hexagon Purus as part of the team to develop a network of green hydrogen refueling stations in Germany.”
According to Matthias Kötter, head of sales Wystrach, Hexagon Purus, the company’s high-pressure distribution system can also be used as a mobile storage for hydrogen refueling stations, lowering total investments and operating costs through the reduction of other on-site fixed storage capacity and energy consumption. “Allowing for hybrid use of our distribution systems, will enable Hypion to efficiently transport and refuel hydrogen with the same distribution system,” Kötter adds.
Delivery of the hydrogen systems is scheduled in Q1 2024.
