HyStarter I: Hydrogen Region Weimar

City of Weimar & District of Weimarer Land
The cooperation region of Weimar and Weimarer Land is located between the cities of Jena and Erfurt and thereby occupies the rural area located between the cities of Thuringia. Weimar and the Weimarer Land region, formerly characterised by agriculture, skilled trades and the knitting industry, have developed over the past 20 years into a location for trade and industry with a wide-ranging mix of sectors. Many of the companies located here are innovative, creative and engaged in the important fields of environmental protection, energy transition, renewable energy, raw material recovery and improved raw material use. With the three university cities of Jena, Weimar and Erfurt, the region has three prestigious scientific university locations in the immediate vicinity.

Background to the region

Hydrogen technology is particularly suitable for Weimar and the Weimarer Land region because the Weimar Bauhaus University is already involved in two federal programmes for the implementation of regional hydrogen production, use and storage possibilities with the “LocalHy” and “H2-Well” programmes and is therefore a competent local partner in this regard.

The possibility of developing into a HyStarter region should also help Weimar and the Weimarer Land to move forward in the field of public transport and make this sector fit for the future. The developments in the field of hydrogen technology in the vehicle sector are very appealing, especially for such a cooperative transport project, as there is great potential for development and conversion with all the local transport companies involved.
In the course of the revision of the “Integrated Climate Protection Concept”, the update of the Local Transport Plan 2014-2018 and the already initiated development of a concept for sustainable mobility development as well as a charging infrastructure concept, participation in the HyStarter programme for the cooperation region Weimar and Weimarer Land is a logical addition. This offers extensive opportunities for integrating alternative forms of energy in both the transport and building sectors.

HyStarter Public Consultation Hour

The “HyStarter Public Consultation Hour” of the Weimar/Weimarer Land region is intended to enable interested citizens, companies or potential application partners to obtain information on the topic of “hydrogen in our region”. This could cover how production capacities for green hydrogen can be created between Bad Sulza and Blankenhain, which logistics routes need to be considered in the Ilm Valley region and in what fields of application it can be used in the short, medium or long term. In addition, there is plenty of room for discussion and we look forward to talking to you about the “HyStarter – Hydrogen Concept for the Weimarer Land/Weimar Region”.
