Linde opens first hydrogen filling station for fuel cell passenger ships
The Linde Group has officially opened the world's first hydrogen filling station for fuel cell passenger ships in Hamburg.
The Zemship filling station is located in the Hamburg city park. It provides regular fill-ups of hydrogen gas for this "zero emissions ship". The first passenger ship for 100 people to be operated via a hydrogen fuel cell will convey passengers on both the Alster as well as the Elbe rivers. For fuelling, liquid hydrogen stored at a temperature of minus 253 °C is transformed into hydrogen gas in an evaporator and then compressed up to 450 bar via a two-stage compressor system. The complete fuelling station was designed and built by Linde.
