Hydrogen still by far most expensive fuel, cheapest to fill up at Green Planet Pesse

Waterstof blijft in Nederland de allerduurste brandstof om te tanken aan de pomp.
In Nederland steeg voor waterstof de gemiddelde prijs per 100 kilometer van 17 euro in het eerste kwartaal naar 17,63 euro nu.

Hydrogen remains the very most expensive fuel to fill up at the pump in the Netherlands. Thereby, in the second quarter of 2025, the price of hydrogen rose further to an average of 17.63 euros per 100 kilometres. The motorist who currently wants to fill up with hydrogen most economically should go to Green Planet in Pesse, Drenthe, to do so.

This is according to the latest data from the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO). Compared to energy givers such as petrol, diesel, LPG, green gas and electricity, hydrogen is by far the most expensive ‘fuel’, sometimes two to almost three times as much. Whereas in the Netherlands in the first quarter of 2025, to drive 100 kilometres on hydrogen you had to pay an average of 17 euros at the pump, in the second quarter of this year this rose to 17.63 euros; a price increase of almost 4 per cent. Those who want to fill up on hydrogen at the cheapest price have to go to Green Planet in Pesse to do so. There, they have to pay 15 euros per kilo. The title of ‘most expensive hydrogen filling station in the Netherlands’ is for BP Kerkhof in The Hague, where a kilo of hydrogen costs 25 euros, according to the RVO.

Belgium cheap

In Germany, the price of hydrogen at the pump is about the same as in the Netherlands and the usual price for a kilo stands at around 18 euros. In Belgium, on the other hand, hydrogen can be filled up at a number of places, including DATS filling stations, for 9.99 euros per kilo. The good news, according to the RFO, is therefore that the price can be further reduced, so that the kilometre price could even become cheaper than petrol or diesel.

The cheapest ‘fuel’ for a mid-range passenger car is LPG. For a C-Class, this costs an average of EUR 5.60 per 100 kilometres. An electric car in the same class spends an average of 6.87 euros over 100 kilometres. For green gas, according to the RVO, this is 7.94 euros, followed by diesel where motorists spend 9.36 euros for 100 kilometres of driving. Petrol is the most expensive fuel: for this, a C-class passenger car has to pay an average of 10.28 euros for 100 kilometres of driving.

From 7 December 2020, there is a European obligation to display a fuel price comparison at petrol stations. This price comparison aims to inform consumers about the different types of fuel and their prices.
