Batteries and energy storage
The focus is on the development and manufacturing of storage systems for electricity, gas and heat. This also includes the necessary power electronics as well as well-designed recycling and circular-economy concepts to ensure that valuable raw materials are used efficiently.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is an indispensable building block of the energy transition. Here we look at the entire chain – from electrolysers for production and fuel cells through to safe storage and transport solutions. The connection to the German hydrogen core network provides a solid foundation for this.
CO₂ management
In some industrial processes, the generation of CO₂ unfortunately cannot be avoided. That is why we support technologies that capture this CO₂, put it to good use or transport it safely in order to create closed carbon cycles. Permanent underground geological storage of CO₂ in Schleswig-Holstein is not part of our Net Zero Valley.
Climate-friendly industry
We promote solutions that help energy-intensive companies significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This can be achieved, for example, by electrifying production processes, running them on hydrogen or making them more efficient through waste heat recovery. Our enormous supply of green electricity is a real locational advantage here.
Electric drives for transport
Whether on the road, on rail or on the water – we rely on electric, hydrogen-based and hybrid drives. Our high-performance seaports and the Kiel Canal make Schleswig-Holstein the ideal place for maritime applications and clean logistics.
Sustainable alternative fuels
Since not every sector (such as aviation or shipping) can simply be electrified, we need synthetic alternatives. We promote the development and production of e-fuels, Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and biogenic fuels.
