Quest One Supplies Two PEM Electrolyzers to Ingenion for Regional Mobility Project
Hydrogen electrolysis specialist Quest One supplies two ME450 Electrolyzers for a mobility project of Regional Transport Cologne GmbH (RVK). The engineering firm Ingenion is building a hydrogen filling station in the Mechernich Peternheide, a former German Armed Forces site. The hydrogen filling station, which is scheduled to go into operation at the end of 2026, is part of an innovation project for renewable energy sources in the regional public transport.
The two Quest One electrolyzers will be utilized to produce, store and fuel vehicles with green hydrogen directly on site. Each ME450 has an electrolysis capacity of one megawatt and can produce 450 kilograms of grade 5.0 high-purity hydrogen from green electricity every day, which can be used directly in hydrogen buses or other fuel cell vehicles.
RVK already operates the largest hydrogen bus fleet in Europe with over 100 hydrogen buses and is continuously expanding it to achieve its goal of “zero emissions” by 2030. Following its existing hydrogen filling stations in Meckenheim and Wermelskirchen, the public transport provider now aims to build the first station including electrolyzers for the on-site production of green hydrogen. For this purpose, Ingenion is relying on Quest One’s highly efficient electrolyzers. Once completed, the filling station will also be accessible to the public.
Michael Meister, CEO of Quest One, said:
The decarbonization of public transport is an important step for climate protection in municipalities,
“We are proud to contribute to this goal with the production of green hydrogen through our innovative electrolyzers, and to further advance green mobility by supporting climate-neutral public transport in the region with Ingenion.”
Heiko Iffland, Managing Director of Ingenion GmbH, explains:
With the construction and design of the planned hydrogen station, we can actively contribute to climate-friendly energy supply and strengthen the infrastructure in the region,
“Quest One is an experienced hydrogen expert with reliable service and expertise in on-site implementation. The DNA of our companies is a great fit, and we look forward to our teams working closely together on this flagship project.”
The Hamburg-based project developer Ingenion was awarded the contract for the supply, construction and commissioning of the hydrogen filling station, including electrolyzers and storage, in December 2024. With an increasing focus on projects in the areas of sustainability and decarbonization, Ingenion has extensive project expertise in the areas of hydrogen, PV and electromobility.
