GP JOULE and APUS enter into cooperation for green flying using hydrogen

The integrated energy supplier GP JOULE has signed a cooperation agreement with the aircraft manufacturer APUS to jointly advance the use of renewable energy solutions in aviation. This cooperation represents an important step towards the future of green aviation and the efficient use of renewable energy, even in air travel.

With the help of GP JOULE, the infrastructure for the production, transport and filling of 100% green hydrogen will be available at many airports in the future. Together with APUS, a network for filling aircraft at various airports is to be established.

"Emission-free flying with aircraft from APUS and 100% green hydrogen from GP JOULE will revolutionise aviation," says Phillip Scheffel, CEO of APUS Group about this new collaboration: "Together with GP JOULE, we will not only provide green hydrogen to power our aircraft, but also build the associated infrastructure for zero-emission aviation as part of overall mobility based on renewable energy!"

"With green hydrogen, we can already replace fossil fuels in many areas: in local public transport, in heavy-duty transport and, together with APUS, also in aviation in the future. We are pleased to be taking another step towards CO2-free mobility and on our way to 100% renewable energy for all with this cooperation agreement," says André Steinau, Managing Director at GP JOULE HYDROGEN.

GP JOULE HYDROGEN possesses the know-how of over ten years of hydrogen research and development. GP JOULE HYDROGEN offers the full range of services for 100% climate-friendly mobility, from hydrogen production from renewable energies, storage and transport to the acquisition of funding, the construction of hydrogen filling stations and their ongoing operation. GP JOULE can also provide customers from the logistics and transport sectors with the right vehicles for their needs.
