The one closest in Antwerp is offline once again (and I believe the only one with real 'green hydrogen'). Only 2 out of 5 functioning in the Belgian densily populated triangle Antwerp - Gent - Brussels.

And once again good luck bringing your Spanish Oranges to the markets of Germany and the Benelux with your H2 trucks because "electric trucks don't have the range".

New hydrogen refuelling stations are still being funded, for six years. Expect a new wave of closures around 2032.
Existing stations can also get funding if there is no other station within a 50 km radius. Could some of the current closures be a form of strategic pruning?

What's the per station usage like. Are these getting more than a couple of user per day?
