CMB.TECH Begins Work On World’s First Hydrogen Refuelling Station

  • CMB.TECH, part of CMB (Compagnie Maritime Belge), is strongly committed to hydrogen.
  • The launch of the Hydroville, the first hydrogen-powered passenger vessel in the world, was the instigation of this commitment.
  • Up until now, the Hydroville has been supplied with hydrogen by means of a tube trailer. To be able to supply larger ships with hydrogen, a refuelling station is a necessity.
  • The public area is accessible to everyone to refuel their hydrogen-powered car or to re-charge their electric...
