据《氢能燃料新闻》7月1日报道，法国液空（Air Liquide）和依维柯集团（Iveco Group）两家公司为欧洲的长途货运氢动力运输铺平了道路。最近开幕的首个面向长途卡车的高压氢气站是欧洲首个此类加油站。这标志着法国液空和依维柯集团在发展欧洲氢能运输方面的共同承诺迈出了一步。

这一承诺与两家公司在2021年12月签署的谅解备忘录（MoU）一致。

谅解备忘录（MoU）的目标是通过发挥双方的专业知识，推动氢能成为交通部门能源转型的重要推动者。

这些包括法国液空在整个氢能价值链上的独特专业知识——生产、储存和分销，以及依维柯集团作为替代燃料车辆制造商的专业知识。

“我们对日益可持续的移动性的战略基于技术中立的方法，氢能移动是这条道路上的一个关键组成部分。”依维柯集团首席执行官Gerrit Marx在一份关于氢气站开幕的新闻稿中表示。“事实上，它为高能量需求的商用车辆应用提供了必不可少的解决方案，例如长途运输。”马克斯补充道。

法国液空的高压氢气加油站于2023年6月26日在法国马赛附近的Fos-sur-Mer开业。参加开幕仪式的来宾有机会参观这个大容量的高压氢气站，它每天通过管道供应1吨低碳氢气。他们还第一次目睹了依维柯重型燃料电池卡车的原型。

这种重型氢能卡车专为长途运输而设计，具有700巴压力下的快速加油时间。依维柯集团计划从2023年底开始交付这些氢能卡车。

Fos-sur-Mer氢气站是法国资助的“艾克斯马赛的氢气：为实现可持续生态和交通”（HyAMMED）项目的一部分，也是由“清洁氢能伙伴关系”共同资助的欧洲H2Haul项目的一部分。

第二个高容量的氢气加油站（700巴，每天2吨）专为重型车辆而设计，计划安装在普罗旺斯地区的萨隆，并预计从2025年起为50辆依维柯氢能卡车提供燃料。

“为了促进氢能的广泛使用，我们必须共同创造条件使该行业蓬勃发展，”法国液空氢能全球业务线副总裁Erwin Penfornis表示，“发展一个足够密集的高容量加油站网络，以使车辆制造商和运输运营商能够进行这一转变是至关重要的。”

Air Liquide and Iveco Group Open Europe"s First High-Pressure Hydrogen Station for Trucks

The two companies are paving the way for long-haulage H2-powered mobility in Europe.

The recent inauguration of the first high-pressure hydrogen station for long-haul trucks is the first refueling station of its kind in Europe. It marks a step forward in Air Liquide and Iveco Group’s joint commitment to develop hydrogen mobility in the continent.

This commitment is in line with the MoU the companies signed in December 2021.

The goal of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is to advance hydrogen as a vital enabler for the energy transition of the transport sector by leveraging the expertise of both companies.

This includes Air Liquide’s unique expertise across the entire H2 value chain – production, storage, and distribution – and IVECO’s (commercial vehicle brand of Iveco Group) manufacturing of alternative fuel vehicles.

“Our strategy for increasingly sustainable mobility is based on a technology-neutral approach and hydrogen mobility is a key building block on this path,” said Iveco Group CEO Gerrit Marx in a news release about the inauguration of the hydrogen station. “In fact, it provides an essential solution for high energy demanding commercial vehicle applications, such as long-haul transport,” Marx added.

At the hydrogen station inauguration, guests saw an IVECO H2 truck prototype.

Air Liquide’s high-pressure hydrogen refueling station opened in Fos-sur-Mer (Marseille), France on June 26, 2023. Guests who attended the inauguration had the opportunity to visit the large-capacity high-pressure station that is supplied with 1 ton of low-carbon hydrogen a day via pipeline. They were also given a first-hand look at an IVECO heavy-duty fuel cell truck prototype.

This heavy-duty H2 truck is designed for long haulage and has a speedy refueling time at 700-bar pressure. Iveco Group intends to deliver these hydrogen trucks beginning late in 2023.

The station is part of the HyAMMED project.

The Fos-sur-Mer hydrogen station is part of the French funded “Hydrogène à Aix-Marseille pour une Mobilité Ecologique et Durable” (HyAMMED) project. It is also a part of H2Haul, a European project co-financed by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership.

A second high-capacity H2 refueling station (700 bar, 2 tons per day) dedicated to heavy vehicles is slated to be installed in Salon-de-Provence and is expected to supply a potential feel of 50 IVECO H2 trucks from 2025.

“To encourage the widespread use of hydrogen, we must collectively create the conditions for the sector to flourish,” said Erwin Penfornis, Vice-President Hydrogen Energy World Business Line, Air Liquide. “It is imperative to develop a network of high-capacity stations dense enough to enable vehicle manufacturers and transport operators to embark on this transition.”
