Smoltek Hydrogen participates in the Scandinavian delegation for meetings with the German hydrogen industry

This press release is an English version of the previously published Swedish version, which has interpretive precedence.

Smoltek (“Smoltek” or “the Company”) announces that the subsidiary Smoltek Hydrogen has been invited to participate in a Scandinavian delegation of technology leading hydrogen companies for a round-trip to Germany’s energy-producing regions in Rhur and central Germany. This is an excellent opportunity to network with the German hydrogen industry and talk about Smoltek Hydrogen's low iridium porous transport electrode (PTE) for PEM electrolyzers.

Between 11 and 13 November 2024, Smoltek Hydrogen is part of a Scandinavian delegation to gain insights into German business models along the value chain in the energy transition, with a focus on green hydrogen.

During a three-day tour, funded by the German Chamber of Commerce, Smoltek Hydrogen will have a unique opportunity to explore business opportunities, meet key people in the German hydrogen industry and talk to leading experts. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for us to make contact with, and connect with large German companies in the hydrogen industry. I am really looking forward to this opportunity that German hydrogen interests have invited us to, says Ellinor Ehrnberg, President of Smoltek Hydrogen

The Scandinavian delegation will visit the Central German chemical triangle and its major players, highlight research projects for electrolysis and stack production in Lusatia and North Rhine-Westphalia and subsequently connect with German suppliers and technology providers.

Additional info on the status of German Hydrogen production 
In the Ruhr area and in the Central German chemical triangle, large hydrogen pipelines have already existed for decades and are used by industry. The corresponding know-how is therefore available. The hydrogen pipeline in the Ruhr area is the longest dedicated hydrogen pipeline in Germany and stretches 240 km. In the Central German chemical triangle (around Bitterfeld, Schkopau and Leuna), 3.6 billion m³ of hydrogen are being used and transported in a pipelines network with a combined length of 150 km. Based on that and the ongoing phase out of coal power, the hydrogen pipelines are now part of the plans to create model regions for a green hydrogen economy - from production to storage and transport right through to use in various sectors.
