Air Liquide and H2 MOBILITY signed a long-term-renewable hydrogen supply contract

Air Liquide and H2 MOBILITY, hydrogen refuelling stations network operator, signed a multi-year supply contract for renewable hydrogen in the Rhine-Ruhr region, in Germany. This framework agreement marks a milestone for climate-neutral mobility in the industrial heart of North Rhine-Westphalia.

As part of this agreement, Air Liquide will supply existing and future hydrogen refuelling stations of H2 MOBILITY for trucks and buses in the Rhine-Ruhr region with renewable hydrogen. The RFNBO*-certified hydrogen will come from Air Liquide’s “Trailblazer” electrolyzer in Oberhausen. The supply contract has a volume of up to 1,000 tons per year. This step underlines Air Liquide’s contribution to developing the sustainable transportation sector in Germany.

This is a significant step for the decarbonization of transport in the Rhine-Ruhr region and makes a substantial contribution to achieving national climate goals. The framework agreement reinforces Air Liquide’s position as an important enabler of the hydrogen economy in Germany and once again shows that these goals can only be achieved through strong partnerships.

At the beginning of 2025, the German Federal Environment Agency recognized the certification of RFNBO in accordance with the systems approved by the European Commission. Subsequently, in April 2025, Air Liquide was the first company in Germany to receive official certification based on the ISCC EU certification scheme for the 20 MW electrolyzer in Oberhausen.
