(Wiesbaden, August 19, 2026) ABO Energy has sold a hydrogen project - comprising an electrolyser, a hydrogen refuelling station, and a trailer filling station - to Tyczka Hydrogen GmbH. The plant is located in Huenfeld, Germany (Hesse), and has been producing RNFBO-certified green hydrogen for fuel cell busses and lorries since August 2025. RNFBO stands for Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin and refers to advanced fuels that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"We have successfully realised this complex project, from the planning stage through to construction and commissioning. We are therefore all the more delighted to have found a strong buyer in Tyczka Hydrogen," says Dr Karsten Schlageter, Managing Director at ABO Energy.
Following several years of planning and 13 months of construction, ABO Energy inaugurated the project and commissioned it in the summer of 2025. In July 2025, the plant became one of the first in Germany to receive TÜV certification under the CertifHy EU RNFBO Voluntary Scheme for green hydrogen. Since then, the 5-megawatt electrolyser has been producing up to 450 tonnes of hydrogen annually for the 350-bar refuelling station and the hydrogen filling station. The electricity required for this is generated by wind and solar farms. ABO Kraft & Wärme AG has been responsible for operational management since the opening.
The project is being funded as part of the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology with a total of twelve million euros by the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport Affairs. Funding for this measure is also being provided as part of the German Recovery and Resilience Plan via the European Recovery and Resilience Facilities (ARF) in the NextGenerationEU programme. The funding guideline is coordinated by NOW GmbH and implemented by Project Management Jülich (PtJ).
