Highlights 2025 Hydrogen 36 – 37 Photos: GP Joule Pneumatically functional and safe The intelligent control system is housed in the lower frame area of the trailer chassis. This means that a pneumatic solution that was both sturdy and space-saving was required. The choice was made for the valve terminal VTUG from Festo. With its high pneumatic functionality and electrical modularity, it can be quickly integrated into various automation solutions and can be easily configured, too. Thanks to its compact dimensions, it is perfect for use in the HY.Runner. To meet the high SIL safety standards, the valve terminal VTUG is actuated using the Festo solenoid valve VOFC. The indirectly controlled pilot valve is designed for particularly demanding operating conditions and is suitable for safety-related systems up to SIL3. Green H2-Bremerhaven ecosystem HY.Runner is showcasing its strengths for the first time in the regional energy transition project HY.CITY.Bremerhaven, which was initiated by GP JOULE Hydrogen GmbH and Green Fuels GmbH. The project uses renewable energy from local wind turbines to operate a 2-megawatt electrolyzer. The hydrogen extracted is stored directly in a trailer with an intelligent control system and delivered to a publicly accessible H2 filling station. With the electrolysis capacity, up to 34 buses and more than 190 cars can be refueled every day. > www.gp-joule.com “HY.Runner enables green hydrogen to be transported safely and efficiently.” André Steinau, Head of Business Relations GP JOULE and Managing Director HY.City.Bremerhaven Electricity from wind is converted to hydrogen in electrolyzers and, smartly controlled by the Festo valve terminal VTUG and solenoid valve VOFC, is fed directly into the mobile H2 trailer. > www.festo.com/vofc > www.festo.com/catalogue/vtug
