The Stadtwerke Bielefeld Group is advancing sustainable mobility with a major project deploying 29 dual-fuel buses powered by hydrogen fuel cells and battery-electric drives.
The buses will use locally produced
hydrogen supplied by a 1-megawatt IMI VIVO electrolyser at the Bielefeld
Innovation Park.
Installed alongside a new solar-powered bus
depot, the system eliminates hydrogen transport emissions and enables flexible
operation using either solar electricity or locally produced renewable
hydrogen.
Dr Cornelia Neumann,
Business Development Manager for IMI VIVO electrolysers, emphasises:
"Mobility is one of the most promising sectors for the use of hydrogen for
decarbonisation. The commitment of the Stadtwerke Bielefeld Group to local
hydrogen production from renewable energies is a pioneering model for other
municipalities and operators struggling with grid capacity limits.” -TradeArabia News Service
