The alliance aims to promote the development of a hydrogen economy with "green" hydrogen produced from renewable energies.
Various actors from business and science, including Leibniz Universität Hannover, have come together to join forces in this area.

The 88th Conference of Environment Ministers has just passed a resolution in Bad Saarow on the "Promotion of Building with Wood", which was introduced by Rhineland-Palatinate. The document calls on the federal government to improve the framework conditions for timber construction. The German Timber Industry Council e. V. (DHWR) expressly welcomes this initiative.
According to the Rhineland-Palatinate Minister of the Environment, the positive climate protection properties of renewable raw materials are to be taken into account in building energy law, among other things.
This would be more than desirable, because the draft bill for the Building Energy Act (GEG) recently presented by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) missed the opportunity to finally take the entire life cycle of buildings into account in the amendment.
In the manufacturing, recycling and disposal process of certain building materials, a large amount of CO2 is released - often more than is consumed in the entire use. In terms of climate policy, it is therefore incomprehensible that this is neither taken into account in the draft Building Energy Act, nor in the energy balance of the building according to the Thermal Insulation Ordinance, nor in the preparation of the energy certificate.
"The Federal Government and the Länder have an equal role to play in sustainable management and the future-oriented use of resources. We see the current resolution of the Conference of Environment Ministers as an important step in the right direction - this should serve as a signpost for both the current and the future federal government."

"Solar energy is a fundamental pillar of the energy transition. In order to further support this and to achieve our goal - a complete power supply from renewable energies by 2030 - we are further expanding our successful solar offensive: In addition to expanding the solar storage programme, which is in high demand, we are currently developing a solar register for Rhineland-Palatinate. In addition, we will also promote solar carports, balcony plug-in modules, wall boxes or agro-PV projects in the future," announced Environment and Energy Minister Ulrike Höfken during the event under the motto "Solar Offensive Rhineland-Palatinate: Investments for Climate and Economy" as part of the series "Wednesdays in the MUEEF" in Mainz today.
Together with guests from the solar industry, nature conservation and citizen energy, she discussed the opportunities of solar energy for the country, for example through the economic factor of the Solar Offensive or cooperative PV projects.
Rhineland-Palatinate is investing an additional 14 million euros alone in climate-friendly solar energy from the Corona-related second supplementary budget. Because energy from the sun not only protects the climate, but also stimulates the economy and generates added value and jobs in Rhineland-Palatinate, Höfken continued.
Solar storage programme: more than 3,250 applications submitted
Solar storage enables solar energy to be used even when it is cloudy or dark. "In order to cover more of their own needs from renewable energy sources, we support private households, schools, municipal properties, charitable institutions and companies in investing in a solar storage system in addition to a PV system. With success: more than 3,250 applications have already been received by the Energy Agency. And with the additional funds we can support many more projects", explained the Minister. The trades in particular benefit enormously from these investments: 1,000 new PV roof systems with solar storage bring around 19 million euros of investment to Rhineland-Palatinate, Höfken concluded.
Background:
By 2030, the electricity supply in the state is to be generated entirely from renewable energies. Every second kilowatt hour of electricity generated in Rhineland-Palatinate already consists of energy from wind, sun, biomass or water.
The solar offensive will contribute to further expanding the share of solar energy in the state. At the federal level, Rhineland-Palatinate is also campaigning within the offensive for the removal of obstacles and better legal requirements. For example, the Ministry of the Environment has lobbied in the Bundesrat for the abolition of the cap on installed PV capacity of 52 gigawatts without replacement.
In addition, the Solar Offensive includes the guideline on electric mobility in the state administration, an open space ordinance for the installation of PV systems on low-yield and species-poor grassland, as well as comprehensive advice and information from many partners.
