H2 Mobility lowers its H2 prices at 15 gas stations

H2 Mobility, the operator of hydrogen fueling stations, will reduce hydrogen prices at 15 of its locations in Germany starting October 1. The price cut, up to 16 percent, applies to stations originally built primarily for refueling hydrogen-powered vehicles.

H2 Mobility announced that it will lower the gross price per kilogram of hydrogen at 15 of its fueling stations by 12 to 16 percent. This applies specifically to stations in Bayreuth, Düren, Düsseldorf-Oerschbachstraße, Erlangen, Frechen, Fürth, Herten, Köln/Bonn Airport, Leverkusen, Munich, Saarbrücken, Sindelfingen, Stuttgart Airport, Weiterstadt, and Wesseling.

H2 Mobility states that the reason is that these gas stations, originally built for passenger cars, have been technically upgraded over the past years to accommodate buses and trucks. By supplying these stations with green hydrogen along with revenue from reduced greenhouse gas emissions (through carbon credit trading), a positive price signal can now be sent to customers. The background is that carbon credit trading, as a long-established regulatory mechanism, improves the economic viability of green hydrogen.

Here is a related aside: As is well known, the THG allowance trading system requires companies in the transportation sector to gradually reduce CO2 emissions from their fuels. Those who continue to use fossil energy sources must meet corresponding reduction targets or pay financial compensation. Since green hydrogen helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the resulting emission reductions can be marketed.

By June 1, 2026, H2 Mobility had already reduced hydrogen prices at five new filling stations in Mannheim, Heidelberg, Frankenthal, Ludwigshafen, and Düsseldorf-Höherweg by around ten percent. The company states that “in addition to scale effects, it was particularly the use of green hydrogen and the revenue opportunities from THG allowance trading that made these price cuts possible” at these locations as well.

Martin Jüngel, CEO and CFO of H2 Mobility, commented: “Following the first price reduction in June, we can now lower prices at 15 additional stations by using green hydrogen in conjunction with the GHG quota trading system, thereby increasing the appeal of green hydrogen in transportation. It is important that this impact reaches the market, with transport companies and logistics sectors particularly benefiting from lower operating costs.”
