Business Opportunities
A POWERFUL REGION
According to the OECD, Northern Germany is particularly well-suited for the development of a green hydrogen economy, which is set to be established here by 2035. The region has unique locational advantages for the production of renewable energies and a large potential for the purchase of green hydrogen, especially among the local industrial companies. At the same time, the five federal states combine a high degree of experience and expertise in the field of sustainable technologies and energies as well as a high-performance infrastructure. They are trailblazers in Germany in the field of wind energy and have played a major role in shaping technical progress in this area. The knowledge gained in this way will now be applied to the production and commercial use of green hydrogen in cooperation with partners from industry, science, associations and politics.
