H2Giga

Cost-efficient huge capacities electrolyzers are required to satisfy Germany’s green hydrogen demand. Although there are already high-performance electrolyzers available on the market today, they are still largely built by hand. The H2Giga flagship project will therefore support the serial production of electrolyzers.

H2Mare - offshore technology

The best conditions for generating renewable wind energy can be found at sea. The direct production of green hydrogen from wind energy in offshore turbines without a grid connection can lower the costs considerably compared with onshore generation. The H2Mare flagship project will thus investigate the offshore generation of green hydrogen and other power-to-X products.
