Hydrogen ecosystem in the Port of Hamburg
Hamburg offers one of the largest cohesive industrial areas in Europe with a perfectly suited site for large scale green hydrogen producers and industrial, logistics and aviation offtakers alike. The Free and Hanseatic City is thus perfectly positioned to become a model region for the whole hydrogen value chain. An electrolysis plant, the Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub, and a dedicated hydrogen gas grid within the industrial area of the Port of Hamburg (which is to be connected to the European Hydrogen Backbone) are already in construction. Further use cases in various sectors like transport and shipping as well as the basic and raw materials industries and heating are in planning or implementation. Hamburg is at the same time also positioning itself to become an import hub for green hydrogen and synthetic green fuels. Mr. Rispens will outline the different projects and how they come together in the emerging new hydrogen industry.
