Especially in view of the current geopolitical situation and the growing scarcity of resources such as gas or oil, green hydrogen is increasingly becoming not just a source of energy but also a source of hope for a more sustainable world.
That’s reason enough for the northern German states to actively drive the issue forward, given that they arguably have the best basis for doing so: a virtually inexhaustible supply of renewable energy. Thanks to their 2,400km of coastline, numerous onshore and offshore wind turbines, as well as a high number of solar generators, these states are the largest producers of green energy in Germany.

HY-5 aims to turn northern Germany into a powerful emerging region for green hydrogen in the heart of Europe, supporting both the German national hydrogen strategy as well as the North German Hydrogen Strategy.
