The vision of comprehensive and reliable mobility with hydrogen – that this may become reality was successfully demonstrated by H2argemuc in a linkhighly dynamic process of innovative further development. With the operation of the world’s first public hydrogen filling station at Munich Airport from 1999 to 2006 the Bavarian hydrogen think-tank made an important contribution to the development of the European hydrogen network. In addition to linkTÜV SÜD, linkET Energie Technologie and the linkBavarian State Ministry for Economics, Infrastructure, Transport and Technology in the fourth and final project phase the following ten project partners were members of this think-tank: linkAral, linkBayerngas GmbH, linkBMW Group, linkE.ON Bayern AG, linkFlughafen München GmbH, linkGrimm Aerosol Technik GmbH & Co. K.G., linkThe Linde Group, linkMAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG, linkProton Motor sowie die linkSiemens AG.

An exemplary and extensive range of services

As the operator of the world's first public hydrogen filling station H2argemuc offered a wide range of mobility services and logistics in the fields of production, storage and use: 

  • Demonstration of the suitability for daily use of various production forms (incl. linksteam reformer, linkelectrolysis)
  • Daily operating business within the framework of gaseous and liquid hydrogen refuelling
  • Testing of linkrobot filling stations as well as manual refuelling
  • Permanent use of modern vehicles and systems (passenger cars, buses and forklift trucks), which have already covered a distance of more than 500,000 kilometres without any incidents
  • Continual expansion of the project to include the latest fuel cell technology
  • Reliable supply of energy for hydrogen-powered vehicles


Furthermore, it was possible to generate the interest of over 15,000 visitors at the filling station site; moreover, in numerous lectures and speeches by representatives of H2argemuc outside the filling station greater consciousness was created for today's energy problems and knowledge conveyed about the future hydrogen economy.
