Backed by the EIB

Strategic support for our growth in hydrogen technology

At Resato Hydrogen Technology, we believe in the power of innovation to accelerate the energy transition. Our ambition to play a leading role in the development of hydrogen infrastructure is underlined by the strategic support of the European Investment Bank (EIB).

Why this support is important

The EIB has awarded a €25 million financing agreement to Resato. This will enable us to:

  • Further intensify our R&D activities
  • Expand our production capacity in Assen
  • Accelerate our contribution to the hydrogen mobility of the future

This financing is part of the European Commission's InvestEU programme, which focuses on sustainable investments in Europe.

The EIB’s support confirms the confidence in our technology, strategy and vision. It helps us accelerate our steps towards a clean and scalable mobility solution.”

What does this mean for our customers and partners?

OptieAsmall

The support of the European Investment Bank (EIB) for Resato Hydrogen Technology is more than a financial boost. It is a powerful confirmation of our growth potential, our technological lead and our social relevance. For our customers and partners this means in concrete terms:

Continuity and scalability

Thanks to the EIB financing, we can scale up faster and deliver more efficiently. This means:

Voor onze klanten betekent dit:

  • Faster delivery, also for larger projects or multiple stations simultaneously.
  • Faster lead times from quotation to installation.
  • Greater delivery capacity, both nationally and internationally.

Whether it concerns a single station or a complete network: our customers can count on a robust and future-proof partner who grows with them.

Innovation power

The investment enables us to significantly expand our research and development (R&D) capabilities. For our customers, this means:

Voor onze klanten betekent dit:

  • Continuous product improvements: faster refueling, higher availability, user-friendly operation.
  • Better performance at a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

We continue to lead the way in hydrogen refueling technology, so that our customers always have the latest and most efficient solutions.

Our role in the energy transition

Resato develops and produces hydrogen filling stations that are ready for the future. We provide solutions for heavy transport, public transport, logistics and passenger transport. Our systems are designed for high capacity, reliability and safety.

With more than 60 hydrogen filling stations delivered in Europe, we are actively contributing to a future-proof network.

Locally anchored, internationally active

From our main location in Assen, the Netherlands, we serve customers throughout Europe. We have stations in the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Belgium and France, among others. In 2019, we realized the first large public hydrogen filling station in the Netherlands in The Hague, and in 2023 we delivered the then largest hydrogen filling station in Europe (2,000 kg/day) to Hypion in Germany.

With the expansion of our production, we expect to triple the number of employees between now and 2030, as well as create hundreds of additional jobs in the regional supply chain. Through our own Resato H2 Academy, we train new technical talent, in close cooperation with educational institutions.

Hydrogen as a driving force for sustainable mobility

Hydrogen plays a key role in the energy transition, especially in sectors where full electrification is not feasible, such as heavy transport, long-distance logistics, construction equipment and public transport.

With the right hydrogen infrastructure, zero-emission hydrogen vehicles can compete with traditional diesel vehicles – without compromising on range or refueling time. Resato helps make this transition possible with reliable refueling solutions and project support from A to Z.
