Wasserstoff-Hub Haren (abgeschlossen)

In Haren, a future model for sustainable mobility in agriculture is to be created - with the help of hydrogen. For this purpose, the electricity produced in a citizens' wind farm is used to produce hydrogen by means of electrolysis and then made available to agricultural vehicles in a hydrogen filling station. When there is surplus wind energy, a battery storage system is used to store the wind power. 

The Bürgerwindpark BW Fehndorf-Lindloh near the Lower Saxon town of Haren (Ems) supplies the hydrogen hub Haren with the energy needed to make the project a reality. For this purpose, the electricity produced from wind is stored in a large battery at peak times or fed into an electrolyser for hydrogen production. This can then be used by agricultural vehicles in a hydrogen filling station at the CEC Haren GmbH & Co. KG which is intended to reduce_{CO2 emissions}in the transport sector.

The project was funded as a scalable hydrogen project within the framework of the Lower Saxony Hydrogen Directive of the Ministry for the Environment, Energy, Building and Climate Protection. In Haren on 18.06., Environment Minister Olaf Lies handed over the funding of 4.85 million euros for the construction of this "hydrogen hub". "We are pleased to be able to play a significant role in the implementation of this forward-looking project through the planning, development and construction of the infrastructure," emphasised the project manager and managing director of CEC Haren GmbH & Co. KG Christoph Pieper.

Another funded sub-project called H2Agrar is investigating how green hydrogen can be used in agricultural mobility.
