(Will be hidden in the published article)2020 heralded the closing phase of the innovative Northern German Energy Transition project 4.0 (NEW 4.0). Renewable Energy Hamburg explored the project’s many facets. NEW 4.0 – Final Brochure, in particular - published in October 2020 - gets to the heart of the core findings.
Final brochure
The final brochure offers an overview of the four years of intensive research conducted by the consortium, which brings together 60 project partners from business, science and politics in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. It presents a selection of the huge range of individual projects. The focus areas of the research and work carried out as part of the individual projects are diverse and pursue an interdisciplinary approach: from the testing of innovative technologies in networks, load management, storage, generation and system service, to the development of new market models with the help of ICT solutions and the analysis of the regulatory framework, right through to measures promoting acceptance and the creation of new concepts for education and training.

Of course, NEW 4.0 could not escape the coronavirus pandemic. Instead of a third in-person BarCamp in May, B2B marketing held five digital NEW 4.0 coffee talks . The showcase’s key subprojects were presented in a compact format and discussed with other colleagues in the industry. An average of ninety-five people attended the web seminars. The coffees talks were particularly appreciated by Tim Brandt, managing director of Wind to Gas Energy GmbH & Co. KG, which produces hydrogen in Brunsbüttel for use in the heating and transport sector, and Oliver Antoni, Stiftung Umweltenergierecht, the foundation for environmental energy law, which analyses and evaluates the existing legal barriers to the market ramp-up of sector coupling technologies as part of NEW 4.0.A variety of established digital communication tools contributed to the excellent visibility of the B2B activities of NEW 4.0. It would not have been possible to provide a coherent overall picture of the project without good communications work. Despite contact restrictions and lockdown, the project network was able to be maintained, in particular, through the project’s own blog, the monthly newsletter as well as Twitter and LinkedIn.
The period of funding for NEW 4.0 will end in March 2021. Renewable Energy Hamburg will remain in contact with partners and report on future ideas and projects beyond this period.
