„Model region for green hydrogen“ – Activities to develop a hydrogen economy in the Stuttgart Region
The aim of the project is to establish green hydrogen as an energy source and create the basis for a green hydrogen economy in the Stuttgart region by 2035. For a successful market activation and industrialization of hydrogen and fuel cell technology, a gradual integration into all sectors (sector coupling) is to take place. By creating a hydrogen model region, the Stuttgart Region wants to establish itself as a technology leader in this area.
