Austrian energy company closes its hydrogen filling stations due to lack of demand

Hyundai presents a new Nexo and once again all eyes are focused on the fuel cell. Actually a promising technology with many advantages, it is now doomed to failure in the eyes of many experts. In Germany, there are so far only 100 hydrogen filling stations - and the first ones are already being dismantled.

In some regions of Germany expensive hydrogen trains were procured with millions of expenses. However, journeys and connections have to be cancelled again and again because the technology is on strike or because hydrogen is missing. By Thomas Eckert.

Austria's largest oil and gas company OMV has decided to close its hydrogen filling station network in the country due to high costs and low demand, writes Brussels Signal.

Austria should once become a showcase country in the use of hydrogen. Sebastian Kurz promised that. What has become of it?

59 cars fuel hydrogen in this country. Business is not going up for OMV, the Group is taking a turn and will focus more on electromobility in the future.

The future of hydrogen cars in Europe is uncertain, even though the EU is demanding an increase in the refueling station network.
