Hamburg starts building hydrogen infrastructure

“Decarbonising society requires a functioning industry, which needs a reliable energy supply. We are making an important start here,” said Leonhard. Both hydrogen projects will supply hydrogen to industrial companies near the port and in the surrounding region. The HH-WIN network will be connected to the European pipeline system, allowing Hamburg to secure green energy from other regions, as well as ship imports and locally produced hydrogen. “Hamburg is becoming a key hydrogen centre in Germany and Europe, as we have an integrated approach across all stages of the value chain, i.e. hydrogen production, import structures, a hydrogen pipeline infrastructure and important customers in industry,” said Kerstan.
