That is why Hamburg is driving the development of a competitive green hydrogen economy forward.  Together with strong partners from industry, science, and politics such as Luxcara, Hamburger Energiewerke GmbH, Gasnetz Hamburg GmbH, HHLA Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG, Hamburg Port Authority (HPA), Air Products, Airbus, ZAL Center of Applied Aeronautical Research, ArcelorMittal, Linde, Mabanaft,  Erneuerbare Energien Hamburg (EEHH), and hySOLUTIONS GmbH,  Hamburg is building a hydrogen network of short distances. The aim is to decarbonise the port, industry, logistics, and aviation sectors as well as to modernise local infrastructure. A multitude of projects, initiatives, startups, and collaborations with stakeholders from the entire value chain are currently underway, with additional ones in the planning stage. To address the shortage of green hydrogen, efforts at the moment are focused on increasing production and import capacities. The Port of Hamburg serves as a key player and the central hub. With its efficient logistics infrastructure and status as Northern Europe's largest industrial area, it offers prime facilities for importing, storing, and distributing hydrogen. Enhanced by digitalisation, the port connects transnational waterways, roads, railways, and energy grids, making it an optimal location within the European network.  Would you like to learn more about Hamburg as a leading European hub for green hydrogen?
