The energy revolution in the North is in a new Phase: within The framework of the North German real laboratories are planned in the next few years, an investment of 355 million euros, of which 122 million Euro as state funding. The project Manager Werner Beba said on Sunday in Hamburg.

unlike the previous project, the North-German energy transition NEW 4.0 only Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein are involved, but for the first time, the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Planned are twelve large demonstration facilities and projects for the production and use of “green”, that is, hydrogen produced from renewable sources.

“It’s about a holistic Transformation of the energy system,” said Beba. Already in the project, more than 500,000 tons of C02 will be saved per year. The goal is, the path of development to show how by 2035 in the Region of 75 percent of CO2 emissions can be saved.

“Need a deep understanding of the systems and processes,”

The Northern German real laboratory fits in with the hydrogen strategy of the Federal government, which was presented recently. Hydrogen should not be used alone as a fuel in the transport sector, but as a universal energy carrier, produced with Eco-electricity, in all sectors of the economy application.

This sector coupling, so the word of the experts, will make new use of paths for the hydrogen, in particular in the industry. Thus economic stimulus for the development of a hydrogen economy are to be achieved. “We need a deep understanding of the systems and processes,” said Beba.

High taxes make it difficult the work

With the planned projects to be started in the coming year. They relate to mobility and transport, for example, the use of hydrogen buses, but also the supply of the Hamburg households with heat and, above all, several large industrial applications. One of the largest projects is the construction of a electrolysis with a capacity of 25 megawatts in the port of Hamburg by the energy company Hans is. “The industry is responsible for around a quarter of CO2 emissions,” said Hans-factory-in-chief Matthias Boxberger, who also heads the industry Association Hamburg (IVH).

A large consumer of hydrogen, the company H+R, which produces special chemicals and products mainly from the crude oil. There is still some need for action. “The government-induced electricity price components are at a disadvantage in international competition,” said Detlev Wösten H+R. The Regulations on the energy markets must be changed, so that the use of hydrogen will be economically. “Our System makes the technique expensive, and therefore taxes and charges to the test must.”

Not only electricity: power supply for all sectors of the economy in the view

The predecessor project NEW 4.0 to be completed by the end of the year. It should show that Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein could (by”in the balance sheet”) supplied together with renewably produced electricity. The final report for the project was already in the works, said Beba. In addition to the regional expansion in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is a significant difference of the new project, that it is not on the current range is limited, but the supply of energy to all sectors of the economy in the view take.
