Northern Germany’s key role in the hydrogen economy

02.02.2024
CUXHAVEN. More than 200 participants, including representatives of the five state governments of northern Germany and the energy and port industries, got together at the Cuxhaven HAPAG Hall in November for the first northern German hydrogen conference, where the importance of coastal states was discussed when it comes to ramping up Germany’s hydrogen economy as well as the seaports’ role in importing green and other fuels. “Northern German states need to collaborate across all levels to ensure the future of the hydrogen economy in the north. This conference will play an important role in pooling our potential and ensuring a sustainable future,” said Olaf Lies, Lower Saxony’s Minister for Economic Affairs, Construction, Transport and Digitalisation (third from left). The event organisers were the Cuxhaven Agency for Economic Development, BIS Bremerhavener Gesellschaft für Investitionsförderung und Stadtentwicklung, the Renewable Energy Hamburg (REH) cluster, Schleswig-Holstein Renewable Energy, WAB, the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Hydrogen Energy Cluster, the WindEnergy Network and the Hydrogen Network of Lower Saxony.
