On July 1, 2024, the new Climate Adaptation Act came into force in Germany. The law forms the basis for implementing preventive measures against the consequences of the climate crisis. The decarbonization strategies for industry and business - and specifically the storage and conversion of energy - are considered key elements of the climate and energy transition. Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies represent essential building blocks of the future energy supply on the way from fossil to renewable resources. In the next few years, Bavaria plans to invest 700 million euros in its hydrogen strategy!
Global climate and energy transition in focus: In July, Bavarian State Minister for European and International Affairs Eric Beißwenger found out about the application potential of the emission-free and climate-neutral hydrogen fuel cells from the high-tech company Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH. In addition to the presentation of the innovative fuel cell portfolio, the focus of European Minister Beißwenger's visit to the company was on dynamizing the hydrogen market ramp-up and the planned commissioning of the second production site of the internationally active key player.
Bavaria's Minister for Europe Eric Beißwenger (second from right in the picture above, next to MdL Benjamin Miskowitsch - far right; Manfred Limbrunner and Thomas Wannemacher - both Proton Motor Fuel Cell): "Proton Motor is making an important contribution to a sustainable hydrogen value chain. The transformation towards a climate-neutral industry and economy is also an opportunity for Bavaria to become an innovation driver for new technologies. Our goal is to be at the forefront of technological and economic progress and to quickly become climate-neutral. Fuel cell technology is an essential element in the decarbonization of industrial processes, the energy system and in the transport sector."
