Sweco Belgium’s Role in Air Liquide Hydrogen Station Project
Sweco Belgium guided Air Liquide during the licensing phase, implementation and construction of the hydrogen station.
In 2015, Air Liquide entrusted Sweco with the assignment of guiding it in the preliminary stages for the construction of the first public hydrogen station in Belgium. Sweco was responsible for the preparation of the necessary environmental and urban planning permit applications. We brought all permit applications in order within the required deadline, which was a critical step in the process. Meanwhile, all the permits have also been granted.
