The head of the\nRecklinghausen Employment Agency, Frank Ben\u00f6lken, took part in the meeting to\nlearn about the job potential of this technology and\nexplore support options from the Employment Agency. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Normally, members of the\nState Parliament Presidium regularly visit schools in the state, but this is currently not possible due to Corona,&#8221;\nexplained Carina G\u00f6decke, who would actually have been in Gladbeck this\nmorning. Due to the pandemic, she had a gap in her\nschedule. &#8220;I used that to bring her to Herten,&#8221; said\nMichael H\u00fcbner with a smile, following up on his visit from February 21, 2020\n. &#8220;The network&#8217;s activities have convinced me, and I want to spread the\ntopic more widely,&#8221; said H\u00fcbner.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The parliamentarians first had the network&#8217;s work explained to them by Volker Lindner, Chairman of h2-netzwerk-ruhr e.V. Lindner was able to report that the number of network members has risen by over 30% within a year to 47 members. They consist of municipalities, economic development agencies, companies, and research institutions. The association also has two individual memberships. &#8220;The sharp increase in membership shows the enormous interest in the topic of &#8216;hydrogen&#8217; and the economic potential associated with it,&#8221; Volker Lindner is convinced.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to network work, the association is also involved in\neducational work and, above all, in lobbying for hydrogen. And according to Lindner&#8217;s words,\nthere is still much to be done.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the\ndiscussion with Carina G\u00f6decke, it became clear that it is less about the use\nof fuel cells in passenger cars and primarily about industrial applications\nin the steel industry, in refineries, and in production processes that still\nuse natural gas to generate process heat today. To make the use of\nhydrogen possible in these areas, several\nrequirements must be met, explained Volker Lindner: &#8220;We need large\nquantities of renewable energy to produce hydrogen using electrolyzers.\nFor this, the expansion of wind power is essential. And for the economically\nviable production of hydrogen, the regulatory\nframework must be changed. This is where federal policy is needed.&#8221;\nLindner presented the paper &#8220;Climate Protection\nwith Hydrogen and Renewable Energies,&#8221; in which the network has compiled its\ndemands for national policy.    The State Parliament Vice President\nexpressed her willingness to bring the suggestions into parliamentary work\nand, together with Michael H\u00fcbner, to use their networks at the level of\nfederal policy. And Michael H\u00fcbner stated: &#8220;We will not let up on this\nissue.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Cover photo: A small state parliament delegation and the managing director of the Federal Employment Agency Recklinghausen paid a visit to h2-netzwerk-ruhr in Herten.
