Cavendish Hydrogen awarded €1.4m Northwest Europe refuelling station deal

Denmark-headquartered Cavendish Hydrogen has been awarded a €1.4m ($1.6m) hydrogen refuelling station supply contract for a Northwest Europe project by French firm Mesure Process.

Designed to serve buses and industrial vehicles when it comes online, scheduled for 2027, it will be implemented at an unspecified location that Cavendish said could position it as a logistics and demonstration hub in the region.

It will comprise part of a major European Commission Horizon Europe hydrogen mobility initiative.

Details of its refuelling capacity and the origins of the hydrogen it will dispense remain undisclosed.

Mesure Process will be responsible for the station’s installation and maintenance.

The announcement shortly follows Mesure Process’ for electrolysers from Nel Hydrogen, the company from which Cavendish is a spin-out.

It also adds to a growing number of hydrogen refuelling installations across Northwest Europe, which has seen several announcements surrounding station proposals, installations, and openings.

These come as countries in the region continue to build toward targets for the use of renewable fuels of non-biological origin in road mobility under the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III).

While the majority of EU states are targeting 8% by 2040, as mandated by RED III, Germany recently its individual targets to 10%.
