Linde opens its own hydrogen fueling station near Munich
MUNICH – The Linde Group continues to invest in building out Germany's hydrogen refueling network. The company has converted its test and development center at its production site in Unterschleissheim to a public fueling station. Drivers of fuel-cell cars can now refuel with environmentally friendly hydrogen at the site.

For more than 10 years the “Linde Hydrogen Centre” has been serving as a hydrogen supply point, technology test center and presentation platform. The center’s impressive architecture with three transparent, circular roof segments makes it a striking backdrop to showcase the benefits of hydrogen.
The center initially served as a fueling station for a test fleet of hydrogen-fueled cars and buses, including a shuttle bus used during the 2006 football World Cup. Today, the fueling station is primarily used by test vehicles from BMW and the car sharing fleet run by BeeZero. In summer 2016, the new affiliate Linde Hydrogen Concepts started operating the world's first car sharing scheme to exclusively offer hydrogen-fueled vehicles under the name of BeeZero. The new station near Munich provides owners of fuel-cell cars with a second refueling option in addition to the TOTAL station in the city's Detmoldstrasse. Further stations will be added over the coming months.
Linde has equipped over 100 hydrogen fueling stations around the world. The revamp activities have received funding from the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure.
