📋 Tender Overview
On the occasion of the start of the large hydrogen project of common European interest IPCEI Minister of Economic Affairs Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are among the key technologies of the 21st century. Baden-Wrttemberg has the clear aim of becoming the world market leader in this area. With the IPCEI and a hopefully strong participation of Baden-Wrttemberg companies we can quickly bring our technology developments to market readiness. In international competition in particular it is important to become visible quickly in order to be able to take advantage of important export opportunities in the short and long term. The task now is to implement the technology in concrete projects business models and jobs for the Baden-Wrttemberg location. The IPCEI can provide significant support here the minister added. We mustnt lose any time with the implementation. Baden-Wrttemberg is ready as a partner so that the IPCEI Hydrogen becomes a success story. The Ministry of Economic Affairs promotes hydrogen and fuel cell technologies as part of various projects. With the Zero Emission project we are further expanding our expertise in the production and handling of hydrogen in Baden-Wrttemberg. Lampoldshausen is to become a nationwide unique lighthouse in the field of hydrogen research with a focus on space travel and mobility said Hoffmeister-Kraut. Green hydrogen is also becoming increasingly important in the energy transition. On the one hand this opens up great opportunities for business and industry but also requires a massive expansion of electrolysis capacities. With the Electrolysis made in Baden-Wrttemberg project we are therefore supporting our companies in tapping the emerging sales markets for electrolysis technologies and using them optimally in the futureFurther informationAn Important Project of Common European Interest IPCEI is a project that through government funding makes an important contribution to growth employment and the competitiveness of European industry and economy.
