Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and a fundamental component of all life. In the sun, hydrogen isotopes, different types of hydrogen atoms, fuse to produce the energy that warms our solar system On Earth, hydrogen is commonly found as a building block of water, but also exists in other forms.
Energy carrier for renewable energies: Hydrogen is a key component in the integration of renewable energies into the energy system. By converting wind and solar energy into hydrogen, the energy can be stored and used as required for industrial applications, to generate electricity or as a fuel for vehicles. This contributes to a reduction in emissions from industry, the stabilisation of the energy system and the promotion of a sustainable power supply.
Hydrogen: Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. It is seen as a promising energy carrier to help us achieve a sustainable future. Using renewable energy sources, emission-free green hydrogen is produced that can replace fossil fuels in various applications.
Production by electrolysis: Hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis. In this process, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity.
Use in the steel industry: Hydrogen shows its potential as a clean fuel in the steel industry, where it can be used as an alternative reducing agent for coal and gas. The use of hydrogen can replace conventional processes that cause CO2 emissions, thereby reducing the environmental impact of steel production.
Transport and storage: After production, hydrogen must be transported and stored safely to ensure its availability. This is done using pipelines, tank systems and hydrogen storage facilities.

Our offering for citizens
Hydrogen Week
Hydrogen Week (#WdW) is a national campaign that offers free insights into the market ramp-up of hydrogen and hydrogen technologies. The events are primarily aimed at people who are interested in the topic of hydrogen as well as anyone who has concerns, questions and would like to learn more.
This year, the week took place from 15. to 23. June 2024 and had many active participants.
Further information can be found on the website www.WochedesWasserstoffs.de
