The TransHyDE 2.0 Board meets for a strategic workshop at SEFE
An evening in Berlin. The TransHyDE 2.0 Board meets for a strategic workshop at SEFE – Securing Energy for Europe GmbH.
In addition to the budget planning for 2025 and 2026 and the ramp-up of the individual topic platforms, there is intensive strategic discussion.
How can we maintain momentum and secure the hydrogen market ramp-up?
How can we keep the committed stakeholders on board and avoid stranded investments? How can we safeguard existing investments (e.g. from IPCEI projects)?
Is there a risk of a collapse of the core hydrogen network – and how can we prevent a downward spiral?
Our conclusion: as the TransHyDE 2.0 initiative, we must communicate even more clearly to the public how, as an agnostic and cross-stakeholder technology platform, we provide answers to these questions and contribute to the solution.
It is about ensuring continuity – so that the know-how, trustful collaboration, and networks created within the flagship projects TransHyDE, H2Giga and H2Mare are not lost, and Germany’s technological leadership in hydrogen can be maintained and expanded.
It is also about fostering private-sector initiative, bringing together business, politics, and science, using limited resources in a targeted way, and ensuring the overall efficiency of the future energy infrastructure. This is precisely why the platform for CO₂ infrastructure will soon be launched.
The keywords “debottlenecking” and “the engine room of the ramp-up” remain highly relevant.
What comes next?
Securing long-term funding, further developing the content of the individual platforms (Logistics & Last Mile, Networks & Storage, Liquid Hydrogen, Ammonia, LOHC, DME (& CO₂), Methanol, CO₂ Infrastructure, System Analysis, Market & Regulation, Standardization & Technical Safety, Acceptance) towards clear visions and concrete roadmaps.
Then, creating synergies and achieving the much-discussed debottlenecking through concrete implementation projects – supported by targeted, application-oriented research.
