Hydrogen revolution: Electrolyser project in Neuburg until 2027!
Hydrogen revolution: Electrolyser project in Neuburg until 2027!
In Rohrenfels or Oberhausen, a groundbreaking project is in the house: The Energie Schwaben group is planning to build an electrolyser for hydrogen production by 2027. This step represents an important course for the Neuburg-Schrobenhausen region when it comes to the climate-friendly energy future. Overall, the costs for the project are estimated at an impressive eight million euros, whereby those responsible can rely on the support of the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, which has already assured almost 3.3 million euros in funding. Mayor Manuela Heckl von Rohrenfels recently received the decision. Donaukurier reports .
The upcoming system will have five megawatts and requires climate -neutral electricity for hydrogen production. This is to be provided by a solar park to be built, which the subsidiary Schwaben is responsible for regeneratively. The member municipalities of the Middle Energy College (EMD) - These include Bergheim, Burgheim, Ehekirchen, Oberhausen, Rohrenfels and Wellheim - are actively involved in the planning. The need for hydrogen in the region is already determined by Schwaben Netz and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), which makes the course for promising energy future.
hydrogen as a future technology
hydrogen not only applies as an energy source of the future, but also plays a crucial role in the green energy transition. Electrolysers who disassemble water using electricity into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) are central. This technology makes it possible to reject fossil energies and to save regionally generated energy. Developments in this area are promising, but the challenges are also not to be neglected. For example, high operating costs and the need for comprehensive investments in the necessary infrastructure play an important role in the discussion about the scaling of such projects. Energy Renewable explains that in addition to the energy independence, the creation of green jobs is also in the focus.
It is all the more important that regional projects such as that in Rohrenfels and Oberhausen make concrete progress. Successful integration of renewable energies is crucial to maximize the efficiency of electrolysis and improve network stability. Electrolysis can not only contribute to the power supply, but also serve as an energy storage to bridge times of high demand.European investments and technologies
The growth trend for hydrogen technologies also attracts new investments beyond the borders of Bavaria. The company Sunfire from Dresden, which specializes in industrial electrolysers, has signed an agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) over 100 million euros. This funding aims to bring the fixed oxide electrolysers to series production and is part of a larger project to mobilize over 372 billion euros for new technologies in Europe by 2027. The classification of the EU Commission gives the goal by pursuing the competitiveness of the EU in terms of to increase sustainable innovations.
In practice, sustainable hydrogen could be used, especially in energy-intensive industries, such as the chemical and steel industry, where fossil fuels can be replaced by climate-neutral alternatives.
