BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 22. Azerbaijan's
state oil company SOCAR plans to deploy 100 high-speed battery
charging devices in Switzerland by 2026, the company's 2023
sustainability report noted, Trend reports.
SOCAR currently operates 20 fast charging charging
installations, primarily located on highways and in major areas of
Switzerland's Zurich.
As part of a project to build a green hydrogen production
facility, a consortium including "Alpiq," "EW Hofe," and "SOCAR
Energy Switzerland" is set to construct an electrolysis plant in
the municipality of Freienbach, with a capacity of up to 10
megawatts.
Upon full expansion by the end of construction, which is
scheduled to begin in 2025, the plant is expected to produce up to
1-1,200 tons of green hydrogen annually. This hydrogen will be
transported via pipeline to SOCAR refueling stations to be built
along the Fuchsberg highway.
SOCAR Energy Switzerland has already launched its first hydrogen
refueling station at Grauholz Sud, near Bern, catering to
approximately 150 trucks per month. The company is also expanding
its electric vehicle charging business.
By the end of 2023, SOCAR aims to increase the number of
refueling stations in Switzerland to 206.
