Hydrogen is considered a promising solution for mobility without fossil fuels. What is still missing, however, is a nation-wide network of fueling stations. One reason for this: The approval procedure for the planning and construction of hydrogen filling stations is still very confusing, as experience is largely lacking. In order to clarify this issue, Empa, together with various partner institutions, has drawn up an approval guideline for builders of filling stations, authorities and specialist agencies - thus paving the way for a nation-wide hydrogen filling station network. There are currently only two hydrogen filling stations for passenger cars in Switzerland. One is at Empa's " move " mobility demonstrator in Dübendorf, the other one in Hunzenschwil in the canton of Aargau. Both filling stations are the result of a cooperation between Empa, the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE), "H2 Energy" and Hyundai.
