🕊 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 “𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘀𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁” This very special event in Augsburg is celebrated every year on August 8 as a public holiday. It applies exclusively to the city of Augsburg and is unique in Germany. Established in 1650, it stands for peace, diversity, and harmonious coexistence. The origins of the 𝘈𝘶𝘨𝘴𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 go back to the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, which marked the end of the oppression of Protestants during the Thirty Years' War. The Protestant population of the Free Imperial City of Augsburg celebrated its first Peace Festival on August 8, 1650. They gave thanks for the fact that they were once again guaranteed full religious freedom. The annual cultural program takes an artistic and socio-political approach to current issues and dynamics in heterogeneous societies. With a different theme each year, it invites citizens to concerts, performances, theater, workshops, discussions and city tours. In December 2018, the 𝘈𝘶𝘨𝘴𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 was included in the nationwide list of intangible cultural heritage due to its multi-week cultural program. Since our headquarter is based in Augsburg, many of our H-TECies also celebrate this special holiday. For us, it is a day to pause and remember the importance of celebrating our differences and working together for a better future. Let us celebrate the 𝘈𝘶𝘨𝘴𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 and try to spread the message of peace around the world. 🕊 #hydrogenisnow #friedensfestaugsburg #peace #diversity #culture

🌎 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆: 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲? Today marks Earth Overshoot Day – the day in the year when humanity’s consumption of ecological resources exceeds the capacity of the planet to regenerate itself in the same year. The event is hosted by Global Footprint Network and is calculated by dividing the planet’s biocapacity by humanity’s Ecological Footprint and multiplying by 365, the number of days in a year. The idea for this day was first proposed by Andrew Simms, who was working with New Economics Foundation. The foundation partnered with Global Footprint Network to launch the first Earth Overshoot Day campaign in 2006. Since then, the day has grown in popularity and now typically generates more than 10 billion media impressions. As we confront the challenges highlighted by Earth Overshoot Day, hydrogen is emerging as a critical part of the solution: 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Hydrogen can be produced from renewable sources such as wind, solar and hydropower, resulting in zero carbon emissions during production and use. This can significantly reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲: Hydrogen provides a way to store excess energy, ensuring a steady supply even when natural conditions are not favorable. This flexibility is essential for a resilient energy system. 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆: Hydrogen supports a circular economy by enabling the recycling of waste materials into hydrogen fuel through processes such as gasification, minimizing waste and promoting resource efficiency. Investing in hydrogen technologies is therefore consistent with the goals of reducing our environmental footprint. Today, on Earth Overshoot Day, let us commit to innovative solutions to restore balance and ensure a sustainable future. #hydrogenisnow #EarthOvershootDay #sustainability #cleanenergy

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 We recently asked our community to share their thoughts on who they believe are the key customers driving the hydrogen market, both now and in the future. The response was fantastic, and here are the insights you provided. Your feedback indicates that the chemical industry is seen as the primary driver of the hydrogen market, with significant contributions from the steel production sector. While the automotive industry is also a significant player, it appears less influential compared to chemicals and steel. We highlighted several key developments in the hydrogen industry and found that smaller projects are primarily focused on mobility. While larger projects are moving forward in sectors such as chemicals, paving the way for methanol and ammonia production, and steel production. Electrolysis plants, strategically located and efficiently operated, are crucial to accelerating sector coupling and integrating renewable energy production. However, for this transition to be successful, incentives for plant operators are needed and are currently in the planning stages. #hydrogenisnow #hydrogen #renewableenergy #climatechange #cleanenergy
