- Energiedienst receives production approval for hydrogen from green electricity
- Domestic industry will be the first customer
Grenzach-Wyhlen, December 5, 2019. Hydrogen production in Grenzach-Wyhlen in Baden-Württemberg (not far from Basel) can start. Energiedienst today received approval for the operation of the power-to-gas plant. All technical verifications and official clarifications have now been fulfilled.
In the state-of-the-art plant, Energiedienst produces hydrogen from self-generated green electricity using electrolysis. The electricity comes from the company's own hydroelectric power plant on the same site. The environmentally friendly hydrogen will initially be used in nearby industry. It is also planned to use it in local public transport. A comprehensive concept also envisages that the waste heat generated during electrolysis will be used to heat a new residential area. By linking electricity, mobility and heat supply in this way - keyword: sector coupling - the plant should help to reduce CO2 emissions and support the energy transition.
A year ago, Energiedienst officially inaugurated the power-to-gas plant together with the State Minister of Economics, Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut (CDU).
The plant has an output of one megawatt. In addition, there is 0.3 megawatts from an affiliated research facility of the ZSW (Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research). The state of Baden-Württemberg has funded this as part of a lighthouse project.
At the end of October, Energiedienst also submitted a concept for hydrogen for consideration in the "Reallabore der Energiewende" ideas competition run by the German Federal Ministry of Economics. The Federal Government attaches a key role to hydrogen, especially for the mobility of the future. The funding commitment from Berlin is still pending.

With the portal https://energiewendedörfer.de the University of Kassel and the Georg-August-University Göttingen present first results from the joint project "Innovative concepts and business models for sustainable bioenergy villages - climate-friendly, democratic, close to the citizens". In particular, concepts for bioenergy or biogas plants are being developed that can enable continued economic operation following the previous 20-year EEG phase.
With recommendations for action in the areas of residual material use, alternative energy crops, optimisation of value creation through recycling management, future electricity marketing, efficient heating networks and sector coupling of bioenergy with other renewable energies, bioenergy villages and operators of energy plants are shown possible new business models. To this end, the researchers are working in so-called real laboratories with the bioenergy villages Krebeck/Wollbrandshausen and Altenmellrich/Anröchte in order to be able to examine the feasibility and economic viability of the new models under practical conditions.
The platform https://energiewendedörfer.de offers recommendations for action as well as information on biomass and residual material potentials and a GIS map that presents the bioenergy villages in Germany and their measures and technologies. Among other things, this enables a targeted search for the fuels or substrates used and the technologies applied. It is aimed at all interested parties who are committed to an energy and heat transition in their villages or communities.
The CO2-In addition, attractive funding programmes and the Building Energy Act support local authorities in switching to a renewable heat supply. Extensive information offers on energiewendedörfer.de as well as the guides, market overviews and other service offers of the Agency for Renewable Resources (Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e. V. - FNR) provide the necessary information. (FNR) provide the necessary support to advance the energy transition in municipalities.
The joint project "Innovative concepts and business models for sustainable bioenergy villages - climate-friendly, democratic, close to the people" is funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) via the project management organisation FNR. Information on the project is available at https://energiewendedörfer.de and in the FNR project database at www.fnr.de under the funding codes "22405817" and "22405218" available.

Bonn/Düsseldorf. The fast, affordable and complete energy transition towards 100 percent renewable energy needs thought leaders and pioneers who inspire others. With the annual awarding of the German Solar Prize, EUROSOLAR puts these actors in the public eye and offers new impulses for a decentralised, citizen-oriented and regenerative conversion of the energy system.
EUROSOLAR e.V. and the EnergyAgency.NRW will jointly present the winners of the German Solar Prize 2017 on Saturday, 14 October 2017, at VillaMedia in Wuppertal.
In the run-up to the award ceremony, EUROSOLAR, in cooperation with the Hermann Scheer Foundation is organising a symposium to tie in with Hermann Scheer's visionary work "Der Energethische Imperativ" (The Energy Ethical Imperative). Together with the audience, the speakers will discuss how the rapid path to a renewable energy age can be implemented.
The award ceremony of the German Solar Prize begins with greetings from Lothar Schneider, Managing Director of EnergyAgency.NRW, Bettina Brücher, Mayor of the City of Wuppertal and Jörg HeynkesManaging Director of VillaMedia GmbH. Give an introduction Prof. Dr Andreas Pinkwart, Minister for Economic Affairs, Innovation, Digitalisation and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and Stephan GrügerMdL and Vice-President of EUROSOLAR e.V. Afterwards, the award winners will be honoured. Dr Axel BergChairman of EUROSOLAR Germany, the highlight of the event.
This will be followed by a get-together with snacks.
Participation in the event is free of chargeRegistration is requested by 6 October.

A regenerative heat supply and an innovative rainwater management system are being designed for the "ecoSquare" neighbourhood in Bamberg. Michael Richter and Wolfgang Dickhaut are in charge of the project.
The neighbourhood is to be supplied with heating and cooling via a cold local heating ring. At the same time, the local heating ring serves to balance out heating and cooling needs that arise at the same time. The goal is the additional use of two rainwater cisterns with a total capacity of 126 m³ for heating and cooling purposes in the neighbourhood.
For this purpose, an AI-based predictive control technology is being developed. A further goal of the control strategy is a rainwater balance without runoff into the canal and the use of rainwater to irrigate the greenery. In addition, the project is investigating questions regarding the treatment of rainwater and the changed biodiversity, as well as analysing building permit processes. The completion of construction will be followed by monitoring and operational optimisation.
Background
Against the background of the political targets of net greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045, there is an increasing demand for renewable energy sources in the building sector. At the same time, advancing climate change is causing increasing phenomena such as heat islands and heavy rainfall events.
The project is an example of how climate protection and climate impact adaptation measures can be combined at neighbourhood level and integrated into building and planning practice in the future.
