Regional hydrogen projects: HyExperts guide provides practical knowledge
With the publishing of the new guide: ‘HyExperts – successfully developing regional hydrogen projects’, NOW GmbH provides municipal authorities, companies and regions valuable support in developing a regional hydrogen economy on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV).

Pioneering work: Hydrogen storage works
The energy service provider EWE has completed its HyCAVmobil research project at its gas storage site in Rüdersdorf near Berlin. As part of the hydrogen storage project, EWE and its partner the German Aerospace Center (DLR) were able to prove that it is possible to safely store hydrogen in an underground cavern storage facility.

Study: H₂ refuelling stations could be supplied cost-effectively via pipeline
Together with the German Energy Agency (Deutsche Energie Agentur – dena), the National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NOW) is publishing a study on the future supply of Germany hydrogen refuelling station infrastructure via a hydrogen pipeline network. The analysis shows that a central hub model to supply hydrogen refuelling stations could be a cost-effective and sustainable solution. The study also provides nine specific recommendations for action to create the conditions for connecting H₂ hubs and refuelling stations to the H₂ network.
Investments totalling over 100 million euros in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region are proving effective: Specialist conference takes stock of hydrogen projects
The Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region has successfully moved into the hydrogen economy. Both the H2Rivers and H2Rhein-Neckar projects show how hydrogen, as a sustainable energy source, can be produced, distributed, stored and used at the local level. Thanks to funding support and the commitment of local participants, more than 100 million euros have been effectively invested in the two flagship projects.

HyPerformer HyBayern: Delivery of hydrogen from Pfeffenhausen has commenced
In Pfeffenhausen, the test operation of the delivery of grid-compatible green hydrogen has commenced. With immediate effect, this hydrogen will be supplied to filling stations in the districts of Munich and Ebersberg. The HyPerformer region HyBayern is to be fully operational by the end of 2024 and will help to save 4,500 tonnes of CO2 annually.
