Our hydrogen network
Hydrogen is considered a promising energy source for future mobility. It can be used in fuel cell vehicles that generate electrical energy, thus enabling emission-free propulsion. Hydrogen offers advantages over battery-powered vehicles, particularly in heavy-duty transport, ships, trucks, and trains, due to short refueling times and long ranges. However, widespread adoption faces challenges such as the efficient production of green hydrogen and the expansion of a comprehensive refueling station infrastructure.
With our network of experts, we are intensively involved in the research, development, and promotion of hydrogen technologies. We believe that hydrogen, as an energy carrier and energy storage medium, is an essential component of a sustainable energy supply.
The mobility sector in Germany faces enormous challenges: Approximately 30% of primary energy consumption is attributable to this sector, making it a key lever for decarbonization. However, compared to the heat and electricity sectors, the transformation in the mobility sector is considered particularly complex. Focusing solely on one technology will not address this challenge.
A rapid and comprehensive reduction in CO₂ emissions requires a diverse range of technologies. In addition to battery-electric and fuel-cell-powered vehicles, renewable fuels and alternative transportation concepts such as cable cars also play a crucial role. The energy for these approaches is available – now it's time to use it in a targeted and efficient manner.
Only through competition between technologies that promotes innovation and enables flexible solutions can we make mobility sustainable and slow down climate change.
Sustainable mobility: competition between technologies instead of one-dimensionality.
Biogenic materials:
High-strength lightweight construction for electric cars.
Electric vehicles are gaining importance worldwide, but their batteries add considerable weight. This is where biogenic materials come into play: They offer an innovative way to offset this additional weight. Thanks to their lightness and high strength, they are now used in numerous applications.
These biomaterials, derived from renewable raw materials, not only improve the energy efficiency of electric cars but also significantly contribute to reducing their ecological footprint. They combine sustainability with technical performance, thus building a bridge to climate-friendly mobility.
With biogenic materials, the vision of a more environmentally friendly future becomes more tangible. The automotive industry is facing a transformation in which these sustainable materials will play a central role. One step closer to the perfect symbiosis of technology and the environment.
