The "H2-Wegweiser Niedersachsen" examines how a hydrogen-based energy system of the future can be specifically designed in Lower Saxony, which technical variants are advantageous and what influence legal, ecological and economic aspects have. The result is a closed and holistic methodology for the conception and evaluation of combinable storage, transport, conversion and utilization processes, which can be used to concretize Lower Saxony's hydrogen implementation strategy.
To this end, the individual phases of the hydrogen chain are considered using model approaches at different levels of detail and analyzed and evaluated with regard to the above-mentioned aspects. The project deals with the different aspects of a hydrogen economy on three levels: The technical level answers questions about the underground storage of hydrogen in cavern and pore storage facilities and the conversion of hydrogen into hydrocarbons and ammonia. At the socio-ecological level, environmental impacts and ecological assessments are carried out. Another important aspect is the question of the legal framework for hydrogen plants in the energy industry. The system level then summarizes the results, places them in a temporal and spatial context by means of scenario analyses and shows which business models are both economically viable and ecologically sensible.
All investigations take into account the special boundary conditions that predestine Lower Saxony for a pioneering role in the development of a hydrogen economy. Intensive support from a large number of industrial practice partners is guaranteed.
