The first two hydrogen filling stations in Slovakia could be put into operation as early as October this year, the Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency (SIEA) reported on Monday. The agency already announced a public procurement to provide them. They will become the first filling stations in Slovakia where it will be possible to refuel cars and buses with hydrogen. One of them should be located in Bratislava, and they will be funded from European sources.
"If we want to drive ecologically, we need to build a complete hydrogen infrastructure. With the support of hydrogen mobility, it will be similar to when the first battery electric cars came to Slovakia. At the beginning, they did not have charging stations, either. Then there were very few of them, but today they are almost everywhere," said SIEA director general Peter Blaskovits. Although the first hydrogen car is already being sold in Slovakia, the nearest hydrogen filling station is in Vienna.
