Münster becomes the center of the hydrogen revolution in NRW!

Münster. North Rhine-Westphalia has ambitious goals: the region strives to become the first climate-neutral industrial region in Europe. In this context, hydrogen plays a crucial role, along with green electricity. On October 2, members of the H2 Working Group under the direction of District President Andreas Bothe and Dr. Fritz Jaeckel, General Manager of the IHK North Westphalia, made an important step to achieve this vision. You have passed a position paper in the Münster district government that should not only strengthen the region, but also support the ambitions of the state government.

The H2 Working Group is optimistic about the requirements for building a hydrogen economy. She sees the Münster region, which is identical to the North Westphalia IHK district, as a central hub for the nationwide hydrogen kernel network. The geographical location is advantageous because the region is between the wind -rich areas in the north and the larger corporate locations on the Rhine and Ruhr. This could make Münster an important hub for future hydrogen nets.

Central demands of the position paper

The position paper now decided, which is also made accessible to the public in the foreseeable future, determines a number of central claims. This includes the expansion of the line infrastructure and the development of regional distribution networks. Another focus is on making hydrogen usable for heat supply and offering reliable support for H2 mobility, which should also be accessible to smaller companies.

In view of the opportunities offering opportunities, President of the Government Andreas Bothe expressed himself confidently: "This work is important because hydrogen is a component of sustainable energy supply. Here it is decided whether the high run of the hydrogen economy is possible. There is hardly any other region that brings better starting conditions for this."

dr. Fritz Jaeckel confirmed the group's ambitions by pointing out that the H2 Working Group wants to set the essential course for the H2 stroke. "Together we are driving the development of the necessary infrastructure and international networking. This is the only way to establish the region as a key player in hydrogen transformation and thus make the future of energy supply sustainable," says Jaeckel.

With the position paper, the H2 Working Group not only aims to strengthen its own position, but also intends to increase awareness and attention to sustainable hydrogen. The members agree that the success of this initiative could be decisive for the development of the region and the entire hydrogen economy in Germany.
