For this Scandinavian country, the natural foundation for a hydrogen economy, compared to many others in Central Europe, is rather good. Finland has sufficient renewable energy resources, an enormous amount of water sources at its disposal and competitive electricity prices. Of the electricity generated from renewables in 2021, the highest share in Finland was nuclear at 35.6%, but hydro with 22.5% constituted nearly one quarter. Wind with 12.5% was the third most significant renewable electricity source. Biomass closely followed with 10.3%. All this accompanied by an intensely developed and reliable energy transmission network and the technological and digital expertise to make power generation in Finland extremely efficient and low cost.

Hamburg gains H2 demo center

Hamburg gains H2 demo center

by | Sep 21, 2022 | Germany

All across Germany, more and more sites that focus on hydrogen are popping up. In addition to real-world labs, HyLand Regions and ITZ satellites, there are so-called centers where hydrogen research and development is being driven forward. An additional contact point is now to be created in Hamburg: a demonstration center for sector-coupling and hydrogen technologies. At the new demo center, the expertise of the Competence Center für Erneuerbare Energien und EnergieEffizienz (CC4E), which is the renewables research center at applied science university HAW Hamburg, is to be joined with that of Fraunhofer IWES (Fraunhofer-Institut für Windenergiesysteme).
