HyStarter Soest District project presents results
The results of the HyStarter project have now been presented to around 100 guests at the Soest town hall. Almost 30 stakeholders participated in the project, culminating in a joint 2030 vision for the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy in the Soest district. Climate-neutral production in industry as well as logistics and transport are at its focus.
Federal Minister hands over funding decisions in the state of Rhineland for public transport with green hydrogen
Today, Federal Minister Dr. Volker Wissing handed over funding decisions with a volume of around 81.6 million euros for the public transport system in the districts of Düren and Euskirchen. Both road and rail public transport are to be successively converted to climate-neutral drive systems. To achieve this, 17 fuel cell trains, a hydrogen train refuelling station and an electrolyser for the production of green hydrogen as well as a hydrogen refuelling station for buses with an additional electrolysis plant will be acquired.
Bundling common positions – the Association of Hydrogen Regions takes up its work
The Association of Hydrogen Regions (BdWR – Bund der Wasserstoffregionen) is being established at this year’s HyLand Symposium in Berlin. The idea is based on the conclusions of the HyLand programme of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV – Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr) and seeks to lend a political voice to the hydrogen regions.
BMDV supports regions with up to 45 million euros
The three winning regions in the HyPerformer category were today honoured at the 2nd HyLand Symposium taking place in Berlin. The regions will each receive funding of up to 15 million euros for the implementation of regionally integrated hydrogen concepts for the procurement of hydrogen applications in the transport sector.
