Hydrogen - fuel of the future
Green hydrogen is produced using electricity generated from renewable energies (solar, wind, water power & biomass). It is thus CO2-neutral. Hydrogen is considered a new hope for the transition to green energies: It is used for many applications: as fuel for transport & mobility, as base material for industrial processes or for heating rooms & processes. Furthermore, it is an option for long-term energy storage.
The hydrogen combustion is CO2-neutral. It reacts with oxygen in a fuel cell and the residue is steam. This is how to generate electricity in an emission-free way. Therefore, hydrogen is a central element to implement the policy of de-carbonising the economy by 2030 and to organise energy supply in a renewable and sustainable fashion.
Supporting the transformation
THWS aims to support the de-carbonisation of Germany as an industrial nation: Through teaching, research, and knowledge transfer, THWS will enable businesses to undertake the required transformation processes and contribute to building a Green Hydrogen infrastructure at their locations, tailored to their needs.
Climate change & technology: Shaping or being shaped – it’s up to us!
Disruptive changes are essential to reach climate targets. In turn, these require substantial transformations in individual sectors, e.g. in manufacturing, heating, electricity generation, and mobility. The transformation demands new, innovative technologies and concepts.
The basis for this is a constant willingness and ability to change in politics, the economy and society: Technologies currently under development need to become commercially available fast, and new business models need to be developed. The transformations will impact all social areas: How do we want to live and work in the future? How do we want to travel? What are we going to eat, and what will we do in our spare time? These and many other questions require innovative concepts based on the broadest possible consensus in politics and society.
The fact is: Climate change will require disruptive changes. It is always better to actively shape change than to be driven to action by facts.
