Strategies of the federal states

Bavarian hydrogen strategy

Shortly
As a basic infrastructure, 2023 hydrogen filling stations are to be built across Bavaria by 100. By 2030 there should be 400 There are filling stations with a hydrogen price of four to five euros per kilogram. There should also be around 2030 fuel cell cars and 80.000 trucks/buses on the roads by 3.000. Bavaria wants to become a leading location for H2 technologies. Hydrogen is to be produced in the windy north and other regions of the world; know-how and high-tech are to be developed in the Free State. The implementation steps include a research offensive “H2 Hightech Bavaria”, the establishment of development and test infrastructures to accelerate industrial scaling and a funding guideline for hydrogen filling stations, in combination also for electrolysis systems and fuel cell vehicles such as buses, commercial vehicles and trucks. Bavarian hydrogen model regions are also supported , demonstration projects expanded and a hydrogen roadmap for Bavaria was developed. (As of May 2020, 36 pages)

Objectives
The strategic objective is divided into three pillars: strive for innovation and technological leadership and develop global market potential; accelerate industrial scale-up and economic viability; Promote hydrogen applications in transport and industry and the expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure.

Initiated
The strategy was preceded by the founding of the Hydrogen.Bayern Center (H2.B) in September 2019 and the Bavarian Hydrogen Alliance with over 30 partners from business, science, municipalities and associations.

Concrete strategy for building a hydrogen economy in the state of Brandenburg

Shortly
In November 2021, the cabinet in Brandenburg has 63 measures to build a hydrogen economy decided and priorities defined for the periods up to 2030 and 2040. These provide for the establishment of a work tool and a communication tool, both of which are scheduled to start at the beginning of 2022. The working tool is a digital H2 marketplace that brings together producers, transporters and consumers to accelerate the growth of an H2 economy. The Brandenburg digital communication platform “KoopBB” is also being set up to make networking and information exchange easier. The use of hydrogen in industry involves both the energetic use in electricity/energy-intensive industries (steel, chemicals, cement, glass, paper) and the material use (basic material in the chemical industry or as a reducing agent in the steel industry). In mobility, the priority is not only the use of hydrogen/fuel cells (commercial vehicles, buses, trains) but also the use of synthetic fuels.
The starting point for developing the hydrogen strategy was the H2 potential study for Brandenburg, which the Ministry of Energy published in July 2019. This provided the first recommendations for action on the use of hydrogen and the establishment of a hydrogen industry. This was followed by the key issues paper of the East German coal states on the development of a regional hydrogen economy in July 2020. (As of November 2021, 75 pages)

Objectives
Building a hydrogen economy and creating value in the state of Brandenburg

Hydrogen Roadmap North Rhine-Westphalia

Shortly
North Rhine-Westphalia wants to accelerate the development of a future-oriented hydrogen economy. According to the Jülich Research Center, hydrogen demand in North Rhine-Westphalia will increase to 2050 terawatt hours per year by 104. 18 TWh of this could be generated in the state.

Short-term goals in the industrial sector: The first large plant for producing steel based on hydrogen is to be built in Duisburg, and a first demonstration plant for the production of synthetic fuels and raw materials is to be built in the Cologne/Wesseling area. Long-term goals by 2030: Introduction of hydrogen-based systems in industries such as the glass, tile and brick industries and foundries; Development and piloting of processes for the cement industry; Expansion of hydrogen-based steel production.

Short-term goal of mobility: More than 400 fuel cell trucks, at least 20 hydrogen filling stations for trucks and 60 hydrogen filling stations for cars are planned; also 500 hydrogen buses for public transport and the first hydrogen-powered inland waterway vessels. By 2030: 11.000 fuel cell trucks over 20 tons, 200 hydrogen filling stations for trucks and cars, 1.000 garbage trucks with fuel cell drives and 3.800 fuel cell buses for public transport.

Short-term goal of energy and infrastructure: 120 kilometers of new hydrogen pipelines with connections to supra-regional networks; 100 megawatt electrolysis plants for industrial hydrogen production; Natural gas-based electricity and heat generators are to be further developed towards hydrogen. By 2030: 240 kilometers of hydrogen pipelines; first investments in electricity and heat generation systems; one to three gigawatts of electrolysis power. (As of November 2020, 76 pages)

Objectives
to make industrial processes in North Rhine-Westphalia almost climate-neutral by 2050

Hydrogen in Thuringia

Shortly
Thuringia presented a hydrogen strategy in October 2019. At the one from the The paper prepared by the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is essentially an inventory of the country's economic and technical infrastructure as well as the research structure. Actors and potential of hydrogen applications are named. In July 2020, the state government set up an interministerial working group to implement the funding instruments from the federal government's national hydrogen strategy. The tasks include “identifying possible applications of hydrogen technologies in Thuringia, developing key projects and identifying measures with which the state government can support the development of hydrogen projects in addition to the federal measures.” (As of October 2019, 28 pages)

Objectives
Determination of the initial situation as well as the potential and options for action for the implementation of green hydrogen technologies and hydrogen infrastructure systems
