Hydrogen-Hybrid Power Station is starting up operations

The aim of this ground-breaking project is to demonstrate the feasibility of a safe and sustainable supply and storage of energy by using a mix of purely renewable energy sources in practical testing. The hydrogen-hybrid power station unites for the first time wind, hydrogen and biogas to one compound. The electricity generated by three wind turbines is proportionately used to manufacture CO2-free hydrogen. This green hydrogen is stored and used to produce electricity and heat by means of a combined hydrogen-biogas power plant at times of high demand and simultaneously low supply of wind energy.

Germany and Berlin, in particular, represents a pioneering role in the testing of hydrogen (H2) for the traffic sector.
