Munich-- In 2024, around 125 new hydrogen refuelling stations were opened worldwide: 42 in Europe, around 30 in China, 25 in South Korea, 8 in Japan and 13 in North America. This is the result of the 17th annual evaluation of H2stations.org, an information service of LBST GmbH. 45 countries now have a hydrogen refuelling infrastructure in operation or under construction.
Around 1,160 hydrogen refuelling stations were in operation worldwide at the end of 2024, which represents a further increase compared to the previous year. This also includes 384 hydrogen refuelling stations in China1. New to the list of countries with hydrogen refuelling stations in operation are New Zealand, Bulgaria and Slovakia. There are also concrete plans for at least 377 additional refuelling station locations outside China.

At the end of the year, Europe had 294 hydrogen refuelling stations, 113 of which were in Germany. France was in second place in Europe with 65 refuelling stations, followed by the Netherlands with 25 and Switzerland with 19. The first hydrogen refuelling stations in Bulgaria and Slovakia have been opened in their capitals.
While many projects in Europe are still in the planning phase, the ratio of stations already in operation in East Asia continued to rise.
