Hydrogen in Bremen and Bremerhaven

Green hydrogen from renewable energies is an important building block for the energy supply of the future. A hydrogen economy is currently emerging in Bremen and Bremerhaven, bringing together the region's locational advantages and knowledge. Research institutes and companies are working together to develop the elements for a sustainable energy economy. In addition, new technologies are being developed in fields of application such as climate-neutral flying, space travel and vehicle technology. Watch on YouTube
