The Hague – TotalEnergies heeft gisteren een nieuw openbaar waterstof tankstation geopend in Deventer, Nederland. This was done in the presence of Robert Joore, Country Chair for TotalEnergies in the Netherlands, Antoine Tournand, Vice President Hydrogen and Gas Mobility of TotalEnergies Marketing & Services, Florentin de Loppinot, Chief Executive Officer of TEAL Mobility, Jaimi van Essen, Alderman of the municipality of Deventer and Erwin Hoogland, representative of the province of Overijssel.

Hydrogen corridor through the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany
The realization of this new hydrogen station unlocks the strategic Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) corridor. The station adds to the existing network of hydrogen stations and enables hydrogen refilling on route towards Germany via the A1, allowing trucks, but also passenger and commercial light vehicles to refuel with hydrogen in Deventer as well as at the already existing stations in Rotterdam (Capelle), Utrecht and Arnhem.

In Deventer, the new refueling point for hydrogen with a pressure of 350 bar and 700 bar is integrated in the TotalEnergies Express Deventer Truckpoint, operated by Circle K, at the Van der Landeweg 9t, near exit 24 of the A1/E30 motorway.

The new hydrogen refueling station in Deventer has been made possible with financial support from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland) through its “Demonstratie Klimaattechnologieën en -innovaties in transport (DKTI-transport)” subsidy program. Through the province of Overijssel, the energy storage solution at the station received a financial contribution from the Dutch government that supports projects in sustainable mobility, including the construction of hydrogen refueling stations.

Robert Joore, Country Chair for TotalEnergies in the Netherlands:

"The inauguration of the hydrogen refueling station in Deventer is in line with TotalEnergies' ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, together with society. This brings the number of TotalEnergies' branded H2 stations in the Netherlands to eight in addition to Capelle a/d IJssel, Utrecht, Arnhem, Delfzijl, Breda, Veldhoven and Roosendaal and confirms our position as one of the pioneers in the Netherlands in the roll-out of a national hydrogen network."

Antoine Tournand, Vice President Hydrogen & Gas Mobility TotalEnergies Marketing & Services:

"This new station in Deventer will open up an important hydrogen corridor between the Netherlands and Germany. We plan to transfer it to TEAL Mobility, the joint-venture founded by TotalEnergies and Air Liquide, as a central link in their future network of hydrogen stations for heavy vehicles. These sites on key European crossroad corridors will contribute to decarbonizing freight transport in Europe."

Florentin de Loppinot, Managing Director TEAL Mobility:

“TEAL Mobility provides a solution for transport and logistics companies committed to reducing their CO2 emissions. Hydrogen is particularly well-suited to long-distance road transport, as it enables rapid refueling – in about 15 minutes – and a long range – around 800 km – while preserving vehicle loading capacity. This hydrogen station in Deventer strategically connects the existing stations in Rotterdam to the Northern part of Germany via the A1 Highway, a Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) corridor. It is another step towards our goal to form the first transnational European hydrogen station network on large scale under the TotalEnergies brand.”

About TotalEnergies and hydrogen for mobility

For TotalEnergies, hydrogen is a key alternative fuel for tomorrow's sustainable mobility for heavy transport and other intensive use cases. Since the Company opened its first hydrogen refueling station in Germany in 2002, it has been working to develop hydrogen infrastructure for mobility directly and through partnerships. TotalEnergies established in January 2024 together with Air Liquide the joint venture TEAL Mobility that aims to deploy more than 100 hydrogen stations for heavy duty vehicles on major European roads – mainly in France, Benelux, and Germany – in the coming years. The Company is also part of the H2 Mobility joint venture, which operates hydrogen stations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In France, the Company holds a stake in HysetCo, which develops hydrogen stations and operates hydrogen light vehicle fleets such as taxis in the Ile-de-France region.

About TEAL Mobility

TEAL Mobility invests, constructs and operates stations to distribute hydrogen to customers in Europe. Its goal is to deploy more than 100 hydrogen stations for heavy duty vehicles on major European road corridors over the next 10 years under the TotalEnergies brand.
