European Hydrogen Refuelling Stations Availability System
The European Hydrogen Refuelling Station Availability System provides a free, reliable, safe and ready to use data service on hydrogen refuelling stations in Europe. This includes a real-time information system on the availability of hydrogen refuelling stations in Europe and a common data repository framework for static information, such as addresses and means of payment. All of this data can be shared through an open-source export API to any third party who requests access.
Where to fuel?
The European Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (HRS) Availability System was set up by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership to provide reliable data on European HRS. The system monitors a growing number of stations in real-time, so end-users can always know where they can refuel at any time.
The European Hydrogen Refueling Stations Availability System (E-HRS-AS) was set up by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership to provide a centralised repository of data on European hydrogen stations. We notably monitor a growing number of stations in real-time, so end-users can know where they can refuel at any given moment.

How to add a station?
Are you are a HRS owner and would like to add one or more of your stations to this system? Or do you know of a HRS that does not appear in our database? We would love for you to complete our repository and make your station known to all our data users. Here is how it works:
- Please email us and provide a list of the stations you own, as well as the name of the person who will be our interlocutor. You should reach out to us by emailing: ue.aporue.negordyh-naelc@sa-srh-e
- We will create an account on the E-HRS-AS portal for this person, so they can edit the static information related to your stations, broadcast events like maintenance and generate reports.
- The next step is receiving real-time availability data from your stations:
- If you have your own functioning monitoring system, we will offer you a software option. We use an import API to receive data from your system, format it and deliver it to the Clean Hydrogen Partnership server. You can find the technical specifications of our API at this address.
- If you do not have a monitoring system, we will provide you with a hardware option to add to your dispenser. It is a small transmitter that is physically installed in your station(s). It allows for a choice of several transmission options, whilst ensuring a unidirectional and encrypted transmission to the Clean Hydrogen Partnership server
- At the end of this process, you will be in possession of an account in the E-HRS-AS, and your station static and real-time information will be shared with the numerous users of our data. You can find supporting documents in the “Download” section.
On this page, you can download an illustrative overview of the E-HRS-AS concept, a guide to your user account and the transmitter manual.

How to receive data?
The Clean Hydrogen Partnership makes the information it collects available to all for free through an export API. It can be used for any purpose, including commercial use, as long as the origin of the data is referenced (© Clean Hydrogen JU, 2022).
- To receive our data about the state of the hydrogen infrastructure in Europe, you should contact us at ue.aporue.negordyh-naelc@sa-srh-e
- There, you will receive a token that will allow you to tap into our database through our export API. You can make http requests to some URLs using any programming language and get structured data in return.
- You can also receive static HRS meta-data and real-time HRS availability data in JSON format, or static data through an excel spreadsheet.
- All the technical specificities are detailed on this website.

“The HRS availability system is a unique service that provides users with updates regarding the status of the stations in Europe. It is the only real time availability system collecting data across Europe. Being an open source, the information is available for further uses and developments for free. We believe that it will help eliminate potential anxieties over a lack of infrastructure and will enable more drivers to opt for fuel cell vehicles. We encourage all operators to submit their data regularly and be part of this ambitious project, for the benefit of the citizens and the industry”.

“The design, development and implementation of the HRS availability system in cooperation with the variety of different stakeholders throughout Europe has always been a pleasure to me, and the commitment of each individual to make hydrogen mobility a success is impressive. I am very positive that those regions who lack HRS today, will soon get a chance to participate in this movement and make clean mobility a reality.”

“As both a hydrogen station developer and a hydrogen mobility user, Hype support E-HRS-AS as a necessary tool to:
– Catalyse the development of future hydrogen fleets, by showing potential customers the location of stations in regards to their needs;
– Enable our affiliate taxi drivers to know in real time where to charge;
– Start considering longer routes linking ecosystems and regions together, in line with Hype’s ambitions of a dense and mature network of stations all over Europe.
This is a very useful tool for accelerating hydrogen mobility in Europe and it is free of charge.”

“Hungary has no operating hydrogen station so far, and hydrogen mobility was not a topic at all when I started my project. The wasted days and weeks searching for the right information without results was disappointing. Then I discovered the European Hydrogen Station Availability System, providing comprehensive information on hydrogen stations throughout Europe for free. Its export API solved all my problems and provided great input to my project. Thank you for your help and guidance!”

“At FillnDrive, we’ve been among the early users of the API developed by the HRS availability system platform – and keep connected live ever since. For a player like us leveraging digital solutions to simplify drivers experience and to make fleets operations efficient, this open-source service is definitely a strong asset to provide accurate overview on H2 refilling alternatives available. This definitely supports the rollout of Hydrogen mobility use cases, making end-users much more comfortable in their journey and encouraging roaming services such as those proposed an operated by FillnDrive”

“As a leader in hydrogen mobility, HysetCo is proud to contribute to H2map. This platform is the only system providing live information regarding the availability of hydrogen refuelling stations across Europe for free. This service is key to ensure users are able to get the best digital services possible. Together we move fast towards zero emission mobility!”
