About one week ago Katherina Reiche, Chairwoman of the Board at innogy Westenergie GmbH, was elected Chairwoman of the newly founded National Hydrogen Council. Today she visited our institute in order to exchange ideas and discuss next steps with our director Prof. Robert Schlögl, deputy chairman of the Hydrogen Council.

In June the Federal Government adopted the National Hydrogen Strategy. The aim is to decarbonize large sectors such as the steel and chemical industries and the transport sector and to ensure that Germany plays a pioneering role in hydrogen technology.

Further information on the hydrogen strategy can be found at the website of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
