H₂ for a logistics company
Modern hydrogen logistics thanks to complete H₂ system
A logistics company is replacing its battery-powered forklift trucks with hydrogen technology and is operating its own complete modular H₂ system for this purpose. The green hydrogen required is generated directly on site using a 150 kWp photovoltaic system. Thanks to a seasonal H₂ storage system, the entire forklift fleet can be supplied with zero emissions all year round. In-house production also reduces dependence on the energy market and makes green logistics practicable.

Project example:
Supply of a forklift fleet using H₂
Objective:
A logistics company is gradually converting its forklift fleet to hydrogen drives in order to counter energy prices, CO₂ levies and regulatory requirements. The aim is to decarbonize the entire logistics operation by setting up its own hydrogen infrastructure.
Solution:
Installation of a complete H₂ system on the company premises, consisting of
- 50 kW electrolyzer for the daily production of approx. 20 kg of green hydrogen
- 150 kWp photovoltaic system to supply the plant with renewable electricity
- Hydrogen storage for flexible use and intermediate storage
- Refueling system (350 bar) for fuel cell forklifts
Use cases in operation:
- Direct refueling of the forklift fleet on the company premises (refueling time: 3-5 minutes per vehicle for 2 kg hydrogen)
- Security of supply thanks to in-house hydrogen production, independent of external supply chains
- CO₂ savings of several hundred tons per year, depending on fleet size and mileage
- Sector coupling: surplus energy can be stored or fed into the power grid
- Modular container solution: Flexibly scalable and relocatable for additional locations
Advantages:
- Sustainable cost reduction by eliminating diesel and reducing CO₂ levies
- Positive image as a provider of green logistics
- Use of funding programs as part of the national hydrogen strategy
- Future-proof, emission-free transport and intralogistics solutions
