What H2 MOBILITY does
H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Berlin, is Europe's largest operator of public hydrogen refueling stations, with approximately 90 stations across Germany following active network consolidation in 2025. The company operates a network supporting 350-bar refueling for heavy-duty trucks and buses and 700-bar refueling for passenger cars, with the commercial-vehicle segment now accounting for over 70% of throughput and 500 tonnes of hydrogen dispensed annually. Its proprietary technology includes the EVA hydrogen dispenser and HCP 500 compressor (both patent-pending), designed for high-frequency heavy-duty refueling at capacities up to 5 tonnes/day at flagship installations like the Düsseldorf station.
The business operates across three revenue streams: (1) per-kilogram hydrogen fuel sales at company-operated and partner stations, with prices varying by station, pressure level, and supply costs; (2) station development, engineering, construction, and ongoing operations services for third-party customers including municipalities and transit operators; and (3) the THG-Quotenservice launched in 2025, which trades greenhouse gas quota certificates on behalf of third-party station operators. Customer access is enabled through the H2.LIVE digital platform (website and app) and the H2 MOBILITY Card (physical and virtual), with additional ad-hoc payment options at select stations. The company is backed by a consortium of strategic investors led by Hy24's Clean H2 Infra Fund, alongside Shell, Air Liquide, TotalEnergies, Linde, Daimler Truck, EG Group, and Hyundai.
Despite growing commercial-vehicle throughput, H2 MOBILITY remains unprofitable and is funded as a strategic infrastructure investment by its shareholders. Operations and maintenance costs run at approximately 30% of CAPEX annually, and utilization per station remains low at ~7-10 vehicles/day. The company's strategic focus has shifted decisively from passenger cars to heavy-duty commercial fleets, with anchor customers including hylane (Europe's largest hydrogen truck rental operator), rnv, Rheinbahn, RVK, and BASF. H2 MOBILITY is a founding member of the Hydrogen Infrastructure Alliance (H2IA), which coordinates 92 stations across six European operators and aims to add 39 more by 2028.

Revenue model
- Hydrogen Fuel Sales: Revenue from selling hydrogen fuel dispensed at company-operated and partner hydrogen refueling stations. Customers include fleet operators (buses, trucks, light commercial vehicles) and individual passenger car owners. Pricing varies by station capacity, regional hydrogen supply costs, and pressure level (350 bar vs 700 bar). Hydrogen is sold per kilogram at the pump, with transaction volumes growing as the commercial vehicle segment expands.
- Station Development, Engineering, and Consulting Services: Full-service project development, planning, construction, and operational management of hydrogen refueling stations for third-party customers (municipalities, transport operators, logistics companies). Services include needs assessment, feasibility studies, site selection, permitting, construction oversight, commissioning, ongoing operations, maintenance (~900 maintenance visits/year), calibration, and quality testing. Revenue recognized through project fees and long-term service contracts.
- THG Quota Trading Service: New service offering launched 2025. H2 MOBILITY bundles greenhouse gas savings (THG quotas) from multiple hydrogen refueling station operators and sells them to quota-obligated companies (mineral oil companies). H2 MOBILITY handles market access, regulatory compliance, documentation, and timing of sales. Revenue is earned per transaction through negotiated fees. Enables operators with small volumes to access the THG quota market.

Product overview
H2 MOBILITY operates a hydrogen refueling station network across Germany with a platform-plus-services architecture. The core offering consists of public hydrogen refueling stations supporting 350-bar (for buses and trucks) and 700-bar (for passenger cars and light vehicles) dispensing. The H2 MOBILITY Card serves as the primary payment and authorization mechanism, managed through the H2.LIVE mobile app and web platform. Proprietary technology products include the EVA Dispenser and HCP 500 Compressor developed for high-capacity operations. Additional services encompass station development/construction/operation, fleet transition consulting, and the THG-Quotenservice for green hydrogen quota trading. The company is transitioning from first-generation small stations to a new generation of high-capacity stations (up to 5 tonnes/day) along major freight corridors.

Broad incumbents
- Shell: Global energy major and founding shareholder of H2 MOBILITY since 2015. Shell operates its own H2 refueling pilot stations across Europe and globally, and competes with H2 MOBILITY while simultaneously serving as a strategic investor — a hybrid competitor-shareholder relationship.
- Air Liquide: Global industrial gas giant and founding shareholder of H2 MOBILITY since 2015. Air Liquide produces, distributes, and supplies hydrogen (including renewable H2 to H2 MOBILITY stations under the Trailblazer supply contract) while also operating its own H2 mobility infrastructure.
- TotalEnergies: Global oil and gas major and founding shareholder of H2 MOBILITY since 2015. TotalEnergies is developing its own H2 refueling networks in France and other markets, making it both a strategic investor and a potential competitor.
Emerging players
- Nel ASA: Norwegian hydrogen technology company providing electrolyzers and H2 refueling station equipment. Supplies hydrogen fueling infrastructure components to operators including H2 MOBILITY-adjacent networks; competes indirectly via station-as-a-product offerings versus H2 MOBILITY's station-as-a-service model.
- ITM Power: UK-based hydrogen production and refueling equipment manufacturer. Develops and operates H2 refueling stations (often integrated with on-site electrolyzers) in the UK and Europe, with similar technology stack to H2 MOBILITY's EVA/HCP products.
