The Gesellschaft für Energie und Klimaschutz Schleswig-Holstein GmbH (EKSH) promotes science and research in energy and environmental protection and educational projects in this field. The non-profit company provides around 2 million euros annually for pilot projects and programs in Schleswig-Holstein. The main areas of work are currently sustainable mobility, renewable energies, sector coupling and energy efficiency. 2021, the State Competence Center Hydrogen Research Schleswig-Holstein (HY.SH) was founded under the umbrella of ESKH. Since then, HY.SH has acted as a central point of contact for hydrogen researchers in Schleswig-Holstein and also has its own funding program for university staff in the state, the H2Fonds. In the AquaVentus Förderverein, HY.SH in particular, which thanks to its umbrella organization EKSH has an established research network and direct contact with research institutions, is committed to knowledge and technology transfer and supports accompanying research at partner universities in the state of Schleswig-Holstein.

Lhyfe is a producer and supplier of green hydrogen. Founded in 2017 in Nantes (France), the project developer is developing production units in 11 European countries. With hydrogen produced from renewable energies, Lhyfe supports industry, logistics and municipalities in their decarbonization efforts.

Lhyfe’s business model is divided into onshore and offshore divisions. Offshore, the company proved the technical feasibility of offshore hydrogen production last year with its 1 MW demonstrator “SeaLhyfe”. In a further step, Lhyfe is implementing a 10 MW electrolyzer nearshore in Ostend (Belgium). Lhyfe intends to use the experience gained to produce hydrogen in the SEN-X areas in Germany. Lhyfe also has great ambitions onshore – in Germany alone, the current project pipeline comprises a total capacity of 2 GW (800 tons of H2 per day), which will gradually come on stream by 2030. The projects are distributed throughout Germany in such a way that the company can deliver up to 1 ton of hydrogen per truck within a radius of up to 200 km to end users with its 280 and 450 bar fleet.
