The new Hydrogen in Mobility Subsidy Scheme (SWIM) has been published. This scheme makes it more interesting for filling stations and transporters to invest in hydrogen. Entrepreneurs can apply for the subsidy from 15 July 2024.
The new SWIM scheme makes €22 million available in 2024. In the application, entrepreneurs must include at least one hydrogen filling station and multiple trucks or (delivery) buses. In addition, it is not necessary for the participating parties to only refuel at “their own” hydrogen filling station. The scheme must ensure that more fuel is refueled at both new and existing filling stations.
The aim of the SWIM is to work towards a nationwide network of hydrogen filling stations. There are currently 21 hydrogen filling stations in the Netherlands, not all of which are suitable for heavy road transport. The EU has agreed that by 2030 there will be hydrogen filling stations along all European main motorways. For our country there must be at least 30, spread across the entire country.
The Hydrogen in Mobility Subsidy Scheme (SWIM) is open from 15 July 2024 at 09:00 until Friday 6 September. Click on the button below for more details about the application process.
