The fire brigade in Gersthofen, Germany, has extinguished a fire at a new hydrogen filling station and prevented its spread, the organization reports said on social media. Gersthofen is a town in Bavaria, near Augsburg.
“According to current information, there was also a loud bang when the fire broke out. The fire brigade quickly brought the fire under control.” said the local police.
Tyczka Hydrogen put the station into operation on June 17. The German company operates the filling station and supplies the green hydrogen. Construction of the station took nine months.
“With hydrogen dispensers with a pressure of 350 and 700 bar, the gas station can refuel a wide range of vehicles – from cars, buses and special vehicles to heavy trucks,” says Tyczka Hydrogen said in a press release. “In the current expansion phase, it can supply approximately 500 kg of hydrogen per day.”
Maximator Hydrogen supplied the gas station technology.
