Germany, new hydrogen refuelling station to be built in Lübeck
Construction of the facility is set to begin immediately, with commissioning targeted for the end of 2025. The station, designed by Hypion, will have a daily capacity of up to 2,000 kilograms of hydrogen and will be capable of refuelling up to 50 trucks per day. The project received significant funding from the German Federal Ministry for Transport under the KsNI programme, which supports climate-friendly commercial vehicle technologies and infrastructure.
A brand-new hydrogen refuelling station will be built in Lübeck, Germany. MB Energy has recently received building permit. Construction of the facility is set to begin immediately, with commissioning targeted for the end of 2025.
The station, designed by Hypion, will have a daily capacity of up to 2,000 kilograms of hydrogen and will be capable of refuelling up to 50 trucks per day. Strategically located near the A1 and A20 motorway junction, where the MB Energy group already operates a diesel refuelling facility, the new hydrogen station will be seamlessly integrated into the existing infrastructure of the MB Energy group’s commercial road transport unit. The unit operates more than 300 conventional fuels stations, and, like these stations, the new hydrogen refuelling site will once completed be operated within the tankpool24 network.
New hydrogen refuelling station in Germany
The project received significant funding from the German Federal Ministry for Transport under the KsNI programme, which supports climate-friendly commercial vehicle technologies and infrastructure. The hydrogen station will operate as part of the tankpool24 network, which includes over 2,000 fuelling locations across Europe and more than 750 in Germany. The MB Energy group’s commercial road transport unit is responsible for its integration and management.
“This project marks a major step forward for us,” said Philipp Kroepels, Director New Energy at MB Energy. “With the building permit now officially granted, we are transitioning from planning to execution. Our team is fully mobilised and ready to start construction, turning a vision into a tangible contribution to Germany’s hydrogen economy.”
“With short refuelling times, long ranges, and no compromise on payload, hydrogen offers real-world benefits for commercial logistics. This station is just the beginning—we are committed to developing a reliable and scalable refuelling network for offering carbonless energy products for trucks. Furthermore, this station is a great addition to our existing stations and our fuel card business, enabling us to offer a wider range of solutions to both existing and new customers”, added Florian Lückmann, Director Commercial Road Transport at MB Energy.
