European Union plans to build hydrogen fuel stations as part of program

The European Union has plans to “deploy and test three hydrogen refuelling stations” in Finland and Sweden as part of a program to help prepare a European network of hydrogen infrastructure for long-distance travel.

According by a statement published on December 5 by the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency of the European Union, a total of 3.5 million Euros will be spent in studies to ready a European network of hydrogen infrastructure. The goal is to eventually increase the use of fuel cell vehicles and reduce emissions, it said.

“This project is the second part of a larger action aiming to establish a network of European hydrogen infrastructure for transport and to enable long distance travel with fuel cell cars,” the statement said. The implementation plans to be developed will include, in addition to Finland and Sweden, the countries of Belgium, Finland, Latvia and Poland.
