EU mandates hydrogen refuelling stations by end-2030
Member states are required to prepare deployment plans by 2027 to support hydrogen-powered road mobility
The European Parliament and European Council have reached an agreement on the long-awaited Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (Afir), which sets targets for zero-carbon mobility infrastructure along major European roads. The legislation mandates the construction of one gaseous hydrogen refuelling station every 200km along the planned Trans-European Transport Network through Europe, as well as one per urban node, by the end of 2030. Each refuelling station is required to have a 1t/d of hydrogen supply capacity. “We believe that by the foreseen Afir revision in 2026 there will be enough hydrogen cars, vans, buses and trucks on the roads to justify an increase in targets” Levicar
