Hydrogen – still one of the dominant issues at Renewable Energy Hamburg in 2023. The significant interest among members in events on this topic has continued unabated. The Hydrogen Forum met nine times over 2023, while the Green Hydrogen Sofa was held six times. The forum was divided into the categories of Technology and Projects. It also organised an excursion to GP Joule's eFarm as a Hydrogen Forum “Projects on Tour”.

Inaugural North German Hydrogen Conference

​The North German Hydrogen Conference, organised by the networks from the five northern German states, was held for the first time on 15 November. Speakers addressed the political and economic plans and challenges in building the regional hydrogen economy, while also emphasising the advantages of northern Germany as a hydrogen region: ports, offshore hydrogen and green energy for green hydrogen. Over 200 guests from all North German parliaments attended the event.

Civic festival marking German Unity Day

Hamburg’s civic festival marking German Unity Day on 2 and 3 October was a truly memorable event. Renewable Energy Hamburg took part with an information booth and a light installation that used green hydrogen and a fuel cell to bathe the Neuer Jungfernstieg on the Binnenalster in green light.

But the REH network was not alone in highlighting the issue of hydrogen: several major projects have now been initiated in Hamburg. They include the commissioning of fuel cell system production at Still AG, project design for the Hamburg Blue Hub e-fuels import terminal and the ground-breaking ceremony for the production facility for PEM electrolysis stacks at H-TEC Systems in Hamburg-Rahlstedt.
