The electrolysers will be used in projects with which GP Joule wants to decarbonise the transport sector in particular. Customers from logistics, trade and industry will thus receive the complete package from a single source: green hydrogen, the construction and operation of hydrogen filling stations and the corresponding fuel cell trucks.
Electrolysers from H2B2 in Spain
According to GP Joule, the framework agreement with H2B2 was preceded by an intensive market screening of currently available megawatt electrolysers. The electrolysers use polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) technology, which is well suited to a fluctuating supply of electricity from renewable sources. They are compact and easy to maintain, mounted in containerised solutions.

They are manufactured in Seville, Spain. "The H2B2 electrolysers meet our very high standards," confirms André Steinau, GP Joule's managing director. "They have an above-average hydrogen output pressure and can be quickly expanded by the additional output of one megawatt if required." Installation is planned for early 2024.
Innovative e-farm pilot project
GP Joule has also secured a supply of fuel cell trucks. Customers in freight forwarding and logistics will be able to use them as part of a complete package that includes maintenance and service as well as zero-emission fuel. The company has already implemented the green hydrogen mobility project E-Farm around its site in northern Germany and operates several self-built production sites and filling stations. (nhp/mfo)
