New Hydrogen Centre; Sees 6 Million Hydrogen Cars in Europe by 2020

The Linde Group has officially inaugurated a new €3-million Hydrogen Centre in Germany. Linde is focusing in its research and development on the renewable production of hydrogen, especially bio-hydrogen.

"In cooperation with specialists in the field, we are advancing the development of several methods for biomass conversion into hydrogen. We are confident that soon all the hydrogen required by the Linde Hydrogen Center can be produced by sustainable production methods"

- Dr Aldo Belloni, member of the Executive Board of Linde AG.

"It would be a shame if Germany were to sleep through a trend in hydrogen technology the way we slept through hybrids.”

- Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Reitzle, CEO of the Linde Group.

This sounds like positive news... and has sparked an entertaining hydrogen vs biofuels debate over at Green Car Congress. Check it out.
