The px Group subsidiary, LIFTE H2 , has successfully completed the delivery of a hydrogen refueling station at the Open Grid Europe ( OGE ) facility in Krummhörn, northern Germany. This infrastructure is part of the KruH2 pilot project, aimed at supplying an internal fleet of light-duty vehicles running on hydrogen.
The hydrogen refueling station for OGE
The station integrates a suite of advanced technologies: a proton exchange membrane ( PEM ) electrolyzer powered by local wind energy, a two-stage compression system, and storage tanks up to 300 bar. It also includes a high-pressure dispenser designed to refuel at 700 bar, enabling short refueling times with maximum safety.
The system is located in an area with high electricity congestion , allowing the electrolyzer to harness surplus renewable energy that previously couldn’t be injected into the grid. This enables the generation of emission-free green hydrogen , creating an example of effective integration between renewable generation and chemical storage.
Our main objective was to design a station tailored to OGE’s specific needs, while optimizing available funding.
By prioritizing efficiency and scalability, we ensured that the solution was practical and advanced, without unnecessary oversizing.

This facility boosts the hydrogen infrastructure and also demonstrates LIFTE H2’s commitment to renewable energy and the environment.
It allows a major infrastructure company like OGE to gain increasing experience with hydrogen as an energy source.
