Clean energy hub Fountain Fuel Amersfoort

Client: Fountain Fuel

Characteristics: A clean energy hub in Amersfoort. This Fountain Fuel location offers both a hydrogen filling station and fast chargers for battery-electric vehicles.

An exceptionally powerful and reliable station, it is the benchmark in this field in multiple areas. Its high output capacity makes it particularly suitable for heavy-duty road transport.

Ekinetix provided the design and project management for the entire project for Fountain Fuel. From concept, supplier selection, permits, construction supervision to turnkey delivery. Ekinetix also supervised the ISO/EN compliance tests. 

The station is strategically located near the major traffic junction Hoevelaken, along the A28 and A1 highways, accessible from Amersfoort city centre, Industrial Park De Wieken. Directly opposite are several restaurants.

The result:

• Excellent location with visibility through characteristic wooden canopy and green mound
• No fossil fuels, only hydrogen and electric charging
• Open 24/7 and unmanned
• AFIR compliant
• ISO/EN compliant
• Built-in reliability
• Three hydrogen dispensers, 2x700 bar, 1x350 bar (accessible on two sides)
• Simultaneous refuelling possible on three dispensers – unique in the sector
• Large discharge capacity, suitable for heavy road transport
• Fast chargers for electric vehicles, 4x300 kW, 2x150 kW
• Charging point for electric buses and trucks, 300 kW
