German-Norwegian H2 workshop
Delegates from leading Hamburg-based, German and Norwegian companies gathered in Hamburg at the start of the year to discuss safety in the hydrogen sector as part of the partnership between the REH Cluster Agency and Innovation Norway. Experts from both countries gave talks outlining a wide variety of safety aspects in production, transport and use.

Senator travels to Scandinavia and North America
Led by Hamburg’s Senator for Economic Affairs, Dr Melanie Leonard, a delegation from Hamburg’s energy industry including members of the EEHH Cluster Agency travelled to Denmark and Norway in spring and then to the US and Canada in autumn. These trips were intended to strengthen collaboration in the renewables sector, for instance in the expansion of offshore wind energy and hydrogen production/export.
Norway and Denmark are preparing for the production and export of green hydrogen by ship/pipeline to Germany in the medium term, while the North American energy market holds significant business prospects for German technologies and expertise.
Hamburg delegation attends the International Partnering Forum (IPF)
Following its successful participation last year, the REH Cluster Agency attended the 2023 IPF in Baltimore at a joint stand with GOI, the German Offshore Wind Initiative. Also present were a number of REH members, including Schmidbauer, J.B.O and 8.2 Consulting. The US government and individual coastal states have set ambitious expansion targets to stimulate industry growth. RWE Renewables, also an REH member, clocked up some initial success at the auctions in New York Bight, California and the Gulf of Mexico.
