The Alb-Donau-Kreis supports this initiative, which is considered an essential part of the energy transition. District Administrator Heiner Scheffold emphasized that hydrogen not only serves as an emission -free alternative to fossil fuels, but also offers the opportunity to store excess energy from renewable sources.
