Green hydrogen

In hydrogen production, a distinction is made between black and green hydrogen. Green hydrogen means that it is produced in a CO2-neutral way through the use of renewable energy. When it comes to developing sustainable concepts and processes for producing green hydrogen, the Ruhr region is a key region and a pace-setter for innovation. Three flagship projects in particular demonstrate the practical implementation of these innovations in the region: hydrogen production via wind-powered electrolysis in Herten, from biogas or sewage gas from the Bottrop wastewater treatment plant, and from biomass in the Blue Tower, also in Herten.
