Hydrogen world first presented in Lenzburg
On July 1, 2024, Messer Schweiz AG presented a groundbreaking innovation in the field of hydrogen technology: a new type of hydrogen filling station that sets new standards worldwide. The presentation took place in front of politicians, business leaders and the media in Lenzburg and marks significant progress towards sustainable mobility.
The hydrogen filling station in Lenzburg has been approved by the authorities and is ready for the market. It is characterized by its noise- and vibration-free operation, which also allows it to be used in residential areas. A compressor with waste heat recovery developed by GRZ Technologies, a spin-off from EPFL, makes refueling particularly efficient and resource-saving, without additional electricity consumption, which has a positive effect on the price of hydrogen. Particularly flexible in its choice of location, the plant does not require its own building or additional noise protection.
"Our globally unique facility marks a significant step in the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable mobility and underlines the pioneering role of the canton of Aargau in the field of hydrogen technologies," explains Dr. Hans M. Kellner, CEO of Messer Schweiz AG. The presentation of this hydrogen filling station not only decisively strengthens the infrastructure for hydrogen mobility in Switzerland, but also promotes the acceptance and spread of hydrogen vehicles. This actively supports Switzerland in achieving its ambitious climate targets.
The event was attended by entrepreneurs who have already expressed an interest in using this innovative filling station technology. Among them was the operator of the post buses in the Brugg region. Representatives from the government, the National Council, the municipality and research were also present to underline the importance of this innovation for Switzerland's energy transition.
