WESTKÜSTE100 – the project’s scope
The aim of the WESTKÜSTE100 real-world laboratory is to develop and successfully implement a regional hydrogen economy on an industrial scale. In that respect, green hydrogen is supposed to be generated based on renewable sources of energy (wind power and photovoltaics), using a 30-megawatt (MW) electrolyser, and be used by connecting various sectors for industrial purposes. In order to achieve this goal, regional and international companies from industry, development and research have merged, to produce, store, transport and utilise green hydrogen.
In the focus –
the Western coast of
Schleswig-Holsteins
As a strong wind power region with excellent geological storage conditions and innovative companies, which would actively like to assist in shaping a carbon-neutral future, the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein offers the ideal prerequisites.
The project is being funded with 36.5 million euros from the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK). The total sum to be invested was estimated at approx. 89 million euros upon application for the project, may, however, be noticeably greater in the end.
