BCF Energy created the plan and the first refuelling station should soon appear between Handlová and Prievidza. to produce cleaner hydrogen, BCF Energy plans to build several factories, the daily production of which is estimated at 4,000 kilograms of hydrogen.

The distribution of hydrogen to service stations will be carried out exclusively by hydrogen-powered vehicles. The company also wants to push for the creation of hydrogen fleets in the public and private spheres, thanks to which the demand for this fuel will increase sharply.

The total investment in the new network of factories and service stations is estimated at €110 million. BCF Energy plans to start the production and sale of green hydrogen in 2023/2024.
