Hydrogen Power Storage & Solutions East Germany (HYPOS), the network of German companies and research institutions including Siemens and Linde AG, is aiming to produce green hydrogen (H2) from wind farms, solar parks or biogas plants to be used for energy storage or to supply the chemical industry.
The project, sponsored by the German Federal Government and the state of Saxony-Anhalt, will encourage the adoption of renewable energies to produce green H2, thereby becoming less dependent on petrol and other fossil fuels.
Saxony-Anhalt is one of Germany’s pioneering regions with regard to developing renewable energy projects, especially wind, biomass and solar. 50% of the energy generated by these technologies is sold outside the state as excess power. However, a sustainable, value-adding alternative would be to use the surplus power to produce green H2 and store or process.
