First Hydrogen Station Opens In Greece
The first Hydrogen Refuelling Station in Athens using purely Renewable Energy
Sources for the production of H2 is a newsworthy event.
The Minister of Development, Mr. Dimitrios Sioufas, and the General Secretary of
the Minister of Development, Mr. Nikolaos Stefanou, have initiated on Saturday
the 19th of November the official opening of this pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling
Station with the aid of Wind Energy at the Wind Energy Park of CRES.
Simultaneously, during the opening ceremony, the Tropical’s Hydrogen City Car
was successfully driven by the Minister of Development Mr. Sioufas who was
unexpectedly surprised by the fact that a Greek based organization has managed
to develop such a vehicle.
After the successful completion of the First Hydrogen Refueling Station in
Athens, the road towards hydrogen economy has been initiated. Therefore, the
next step of Tropical S.A , after the completion of the Hydrogen Scooter &
Hydrogen City Car will be the development of the Hybrid - Fuel Cell Minibus
operating at Athens Historical Center and Inner City.
The Hybrid - Fuel Cell Minibus project will start on January 2006.
