27.05.2021 Hydrogen as a key technology: A network for the energy transition
A flagship project for the energy transition is underway in Zerbst in Saxony-Anhalt, where the energy service provider GETEC is working with partners from industry and research to establish a green energy park that will generate electricity from solar and wind energy and from biomass. Now an electrolysis plant and the accompanying logistics infrastructure for producing and distributing 100 percent green hydrogen for regional use are being built.

The gas and engineering company Linde is doubling its capacity for producing liquid hydrogen at the Chemical Park Leuna in the south of Saxony-Anhalt. The new liquefaction plant, which will come into operation during the coming year, fits seamlessly into the state’s hydrogen strategy. read more tweet Print21.05.2021 The missing building block in the energy transition
The Wissenschaftlich-Technisches Zentrum für Motoren- und Maschinenforschung Roßlau (scientific and technical center for engine and machine research or WTZ) has developed a solution of this kind in the form of a zero-emission closed cycle engine and has a number of other green projects in the pipeline. read more tweet Print20.05.2021 The world’s first underground hydrogen storage facility is being created in Saxony-Anhalt
Saxony-Anhalt puts the emphasis on green hydrogen in the energy transition. In the Bad Lauchstädt Energy Park, the world’s first large-scale trial of power-to-gas, the conversion of climate-neutral wind power into hydrogen, is being held, which involves transforming a salt cavern into a large storage facility. The project is now starting to take shape. read more tweet PrintApril 2021
12.04.2021 Saxony-Anhalt Backs Green Hydrogen
Power-to-X technology is seen as a highly promising solution in the effort to achieve carbon neutrality as the process is used to produce hydrogen using renewable electricity. The resulting green hydrogen can be used as fuel, for example. Saxony-Anhalt is backing the use of this powerful environmentally friendly source of energy. An innovative strategy for bringing about an energy transformation at town level is being tested in the Energieregion Staßfurt (Energy Region of Staßfurt), the Hydrogen Factory of the Future is being developed in Magdeburg and the railroad technology alliance TRAINS is developing a green railcar in the region of Anhalt. read more tweet Print08.04.2021 Self-healing polymer extends the lifetime of electric car batteries
Electric cars help to improve air quality in cities. During the production of the cars and, in particular, the batteries, emphasis is placed on their environmental footprint and sustainability, not only their performance. Researchers from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg are developing self-healing polymers that can increase the storage capacity of lithium-ion batteries and, at the same time, extend their useful life. read more tweet Print08.04.2021 A Mood of Optimism in the Chemical Industry
The development of “new mobility” has begun to accelerate and Saxony-Anhalt is already in the fast lane, as Max Fuhr, the commercial manager of the Bitterfeld-Wolfen Chemical Park, explains: “There is a mood of optimism here, because you can’t have batteries without chemicals.” read more tweet Print
