The consequences of climate change are becoming ever clearer and the transition to a sustainable economy is becoming a global challenge. With the green hydrogen alliance HY-5, the business development organisations of the federal states of Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hamburg and Bremen have now visibly positioned themselves on the initiative of IHK Nord and Hamburg Marketing. The aim is to jointly promote northern Germany as the strongest future region for green hydrogen in Europe and to develop solutions along the entire value chain for green hydrogen. Together, the federal states want to create synergies for location marketing and make the region a hotspot on the European hydrogen map.

HY-5 - the green hydrogen initiative for northern Germany
After all, green hydrogen is seen as the oil of the future. Those who are successful here can benefit in the long term - in terms of climate protection, competitiveness and structural change.
This is why the Alliance wants to encourage more companies, think tanks, research institutions and start-ups to settle in northern Germany in order to develop solutions for green hydrogen together with local stakeholders. The aim is to create a green hydrogen economy in northern Germany by 2035 that guarantees an almost complete supply to all interested customers
Hamburg Marketing GmbH is responsible for project management and agency control of the HY-5 hydrogen alliance. Following the kick-off in 2020 at the global industry meeting WindEnergy Hamburg, further activities are picking up speed: Together with Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), various English-language webinars will be offered for international companies and investors in 2021, which have been very well received with a total of almost 1000 participants so far(Digital Briefing: Green Hydrogen - GERMANY WORKS).
