Europe’s largest hydrogen refuelling station operator said it aims to transition fully to renewable hydrogen.
H2 MOBILITY is reducing hydrogen prices by around 10% at five of its highest-volume refuelling stations in Germany, citing economies of scale and the financial benefits of greenhouse gas quota trading as key drivers.
The price adjustment covers stations in Mannheim, Heidelberg, Frankenthal, Ludwigshafen, and Düsseldorf-Höherweg, and applies to both 350 bar and 700 bar pressure levels. The company said strong demand at these locations has enabled operating cost reductions, while growing use of green hydrogen combined with access to Germany’s GHG quota trading scheme has created additional revenue from avoided emissions.
“By lowering prices at our high-volume stations, we are making the benefits of GHG quota trading tangible for our customers for the first time,” said Martin Jüngel, Managing Director and CFO of H2 MOBILITY. “Our goal is to make green hydrogen truly competitive and to accelerate its market adoption.”
The move follows Germany’s Bundestag decision in May 2026 to tighten the GHG quota framework, introducing binding mandates for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs), a category that includes electricity-based green hydrogen. The revised legislation sets a phased RFNBO quota for the transport sector starting at 0.1% in 2026, rising to 1.2% by 2030 and 8% by 2040, exceeding EU-wide RED III targets.
Europe’s largest hydrogen refuelling station operator said it aims to transition fully to renewable hydrogen across its network by 2028.
