Berlin –  Heliocentris Fuel Cells AG, a leading fuel cell system integrator, announced the successful, on-schedule delivery of an electrolyzer to the city of Barth in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The electrolyzer will be used for fueling the city’s hybrid midi-bus as well as for optimizing the sewage treatment plant. Last year, Heliocentris already successfully integrated a 32kW fuel cell system in the city’s midi-bus.

“Having successfully completed the fuel cell bus integration, we are pleased to have also delivered the complimenting hydrogen generation system. This further demonstrates our competence and ability to deliver comprehensive solutions in the hydrogen and fuel cell technology arena” said Dr. Henrik Colell, CEO of Heliocentris Fuel Cells AG.

The hydrogen electrolyzer from Hydrogenics delivers 10 m3 of hydrogen per hour and will generate the hydrogen required to operate the fuel cell bus. A major advantage for the city of Barth is the simultaneous generation of 5 m3 of oxygen per hour, which will be used to increase the capacity of the local sewage treatment plant.

“Heliocentris submitted the bid with the best price-performance ratio and convinced us that we made the right decision throughout the implementation of the project,” Mr. Hellwig, Project Director of the City of Barth, adds with satisfaction.
