Hydrogen model region

We are fueling the future

Hydrogen will play a key role in shaping our energy future. Why? Because the production of green hydrogen, i.e. hydrogen that comes exclusively from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy, can be stored. Hydrogen is also ideal for use in the mobility sector. Heavy-duty trucks can be ideally powered by hydrogen, the first hydrogen-powered trains are already rolling through the country and buses in metropolitan regions run on hydrogen as an energy source. As a pioneering rural region, we here in the district of Wunsiedel also want to use hydrogen as an energy source. With the numerous wind and PV systems in the district, we have enough green surplus energy available to produce climate-neutral green hydrogen.

Our only question is: how and where can this hydrogen be used sensibly and economically – especially in the mobility sector? Which hydrogen applications are demanded and promoted by industry, logistics or public transportation companies, filling station owners or energy suppliers? What investments are necessary for this and how do such potential hydrogen applications pay off in the end? All these and many other questions are to be answered as part of our project by the fall of 2021, so that they can actually be implemented in the next step. If you have any suggestions or ideas, let us know! We welcome every suggestion, every idea, every creative proposal!

The stuff that water is made of

The episodes of the hydrogen theme week illustrate how green hydrogen is produced using renewable energies and can form the basis for the mobility of tomorrow.
