Hydrogen Region

H2R - Hydrogen Rhineland

The H2R - Hydrogen Rhineland initiative stands for a livable, sustainable and economically strong region. We want to pool the region's hydrogen expertise and provide new impetus for an energy and transport transition. The merger of regional players from politics, business and science creates synergies and new potential. For example, the construction of a hydrogen pipeline to link several producers and users is planned. In the short term, we want to use the existing resources of the by-product hydrogen of our chemical industry. Little by little, this will be supplemented and replaced by green hydrogen produced regionally and imported via pipelines. Our hydrogen thus stores renewable energy, provides clean fuel for mobility and makes industrial processes climate-neutral. In this way, we increase the quality of life of our citizens and advance climate protection.
