The Cologne region, or on a larger scale the Rhineland as a whole, has a wide-spread chemical industry, that has been producing large amounts of hydrogen as a by-product for decades. HyCologne has taken the leadership in an initiative to supply this hydrogen for ambitious trendsetting projects at attractive conditions.
Since May 2011 RVK (Regional Verkehr Köln) as a local public transport service provider is operating two hydrogen fuel cell busses under normal transport conditions. These Buses are operated jointly together with European Partners under the CHIC Project: www.chic-project.eu.
