SAARBRÜCKEN, . The town of Stuttgart, , consolidates its position as a pioneer in the energy transition with the construction of a green hydrogen plant in its port.
The initiative, led by Stuttgart Public Utilities, represents a significant milestone in the production of renewable hydrogen in the region and contributes to the decarbonization of several sectors.
The new plant, called Green Hydrogen Hub Stuttgart (GH2S), will have the capacity to produce up to 1.000 tons of green hydrogen per year, using exclusively energy from renewable sources such as solar and wind.
The hydrogen produced in GH2S will be directed mainly to supply public and heavy transport in the Stuttgart region, a market with high demand for clean and efficient solutions.
Furthermore, the project foresees the use of hydrogen in fuel cells for industrial and research applications, stimulating the development of new technologies and innovative solutions.
Strategic partnership and European funding
The construction of the hydrogen plant in Stuttgart is the result of a partnership between Stadtwerke Stuttgart and the t venture H2 GeNeSiS, which has the financial from the European Union and the government of Baden-Württemberg.
This strategic collaboration aims to accelerate the implementation of green hydrogen projects in and strengthen the country’s hydrogen transport infrastructure.
To ensure the efficient distribution of the hydrogen produced, it is the construction of a gas pipeline is planned that will connect the cities of Esslingen and Stuttgart.
This infrastructure will allow the supply of several consumers along the route, contributing to the creation of a green hydrogen ecosystem in the region.
Use of fossil fuels continues to fall in Europe
Hamburg also advances in the production of green hydrogen
In parallel to the Stuttgart project, the city of Hamburg is also investing in the production of green hydrogen.
The Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub, located on the former site of the Moorburg coal-fired power plant, will have an installed capacity of 100 megawatts and will be one of the largest electrolysis projects in Europe.
The hydrogen produced in Hamburg will be used to decarbonize the port industry, one of the most energy-intensive sectors. In addition, green hydrogen can be used in a variety of other applications, such as mobility, heating and power generation.
Construction of a hydrogen network in
The Stuttgart and Hamburg projects are part of a broader hydrogen infrastructure development program in .
The European Union and the German federal government are investing significantly in the construction of a hydrogen transport network, with the aim of creating an integrated and efficient market for this energy carrier.
