France Intense Build Hydrogen Gas Station

Paris - French gas management company , Air Liquide SA began working business Hydrogen Gas Station . At present , the company has built more than 60 SPH around the world and started a new cooperation with Linde AG to add a new network in Germany , from 15 to 100 locations by 2017 . In 2023 is targeted to reach 400 locations .

" For regions such as Germany and France , it takes at least 1,000 locations . Funds needed about 10 billion euros ( U.S. $ 164.07 billion ) to build infrastructure in Europe , " said Pierre - Etienne Franc , Head of Future Business and Technology reported by Bloomberg ( 10.12.2013 ) .

Fuel Cells
Air Liquide SA rate, the need will increase with the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technology . In addition to environmentally friendly , this technology is considered more close to reality and friendlier to the environment than a pure electric car .

Franck Pichot , Marketing Director Hyundai said total sales of fuel cell cars will reach tens of thousands in France in 2025 . Moreover, if global oil prices continue to rise , alternative energy vehicles are increasingly sought after .

" In the long run , good in five , 10 and 20 years into the future , we will move to fuel cell technology or choose burned earth . If you want to choose eco-friendly transportation , there is no other option . Production of fuel cells ' bio -fuel ' would not be enough , the battery will not be able to offer the absolute autonomy , and hybrids do not resolve the problem , "said Franc .

Developed countries such as Germany , Japan and the United States are currently creating initiatives to encourage the development of infrastructure in the region SPH . Each of the original SPH capital needs eruo 1 million ( USD 16.4 billion ) , could be cheaper trimmed to just 800,000 euros (USD 13.12 billion )

Until now , car fuel cell technology is still very little and labeled premium and expensive although cheaper maintenance costs .

" Maybe later when the price of gasoline 2 to 2.5 euros per liter , fuel cells searched , " said Pichot .
