Board of h2-netzwerk-ruhr e.V. Adopts Position Paper

The board of h2-netzwerk-ruhr e.V. has adopted a position paper on the regulatory framework conditions for the future hydrogen economy. The demands set forth therein concern the expansion of renewable energies, the removal of approval obstacles, and the elimination of tax and levy-related disadvantages for hydrogen production and utilization. The position paper will be made available to all decision-makers in the region and the relevant ministries and administrations in the coming weeks.

Volker Lindner, Chairman of h2-netzwerk-ruhr e.V., hopes to promote a long-overdue rethinking: “Without hydrogen, a genuine energy transition is impossible. However, the existing regulations have unnecessarily hindered the application of this technology thus far.”

The demands of h2-netzwerk-ruhr can be downloaded here on the association’s homepage and will be sent in writing to interested parties upon request. Corresponding orders should be directed to the association’s office:
