Expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure
As an energy-intensive technology and business location, Bavaria is dependent on energy imports and will remain so in the future. Für Deutschlands industrielle Perspektive generell muss politischer Fokus auf den Binnenmarkt mit dezentralen Energieversorgungslösungen durch Wasserstoff, Brennstoffzelle und Elektrolyse gelegt werden.
In addition to the recently presented new edition of the “National Hydrogen Strategy” first announced in the summer of 2020 “National Hydrogen Strategy” by Germany’s Federal Energy Minister Robert Habeck, Bavaria has now launched the development of the hydrogen economy in Germany with a new funding program called BayFELI started. The abbreviation stands for Bavarian funding program for the development of an electrolysis infrastructure. The goal is to expand the domestic hydrogen infrastructure and thus generate short transport routes and reduce hydrogen imports in the long term. The program has as part of the “Bavarian Hydrogen Strategy” 150 million euros in funding available.
