First nationwide H2 ranking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

According to a study by the German\nEconomic Institute Cologne (IW) commissioned by the Ruhr Regional Association, the\nRuhr region ranks first in the hydrogen economy, ahead of\nStuttgart and Munich.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThis result can give the hydrogen economy in the\nRuhr region a strong boost,\u201d is Volker Lindner\nconvinced, Chairman of h2-netzwerk-ruhr e.V..<\/p>\n\n

According to the study, strong networking\u2014nationally and\ninternationally\u2014is one of the\nRuhr region\u2019s strengths. Other strengths include the dense research landscape and\nthe application-oriented know-how of the local industry,\nwhich offers every opportunity to bring new products quickly to market\n. <\/p>\n\n

The study published on December 14, 2020, assesses for the first time the potential of the nine most important hydrogen regions in Germany. The Ruhr Metropolis scores 141 points, compared with 130 for Stuttgart and 115 for Munich. In particular, the survey of experts from the National Hydrogen Council consistently ranked the Ruhr region first in the areas of companies, research, infrastructure and initiatives. <\/p>\n\n

In its study, the German Economic Institute Cologne recommends\nestablishing a national coordination office in order to\nleverage synergies in the expansion of the nationwide hydrogen industry in the form\nof regional specialization and interregional cooperation\n. Because no other metropolitan region is as broadly positioned\nin hydrogen as the Ruhr region, the region\nis particularly well suited to host such a steering and networking office\n. <\/p>\n\n
