A German company has received the first certificate to sell biogenic hydrogen. Green hydrogen is considered an essential key to the energy transition.
60 to 70 percent of the manure and manure reserves in Germany are currently still unused. The biohydrogen will then be sold, for example, to logistics companies or bus companies that need the fuel to decarbonize their fleet. The Federal Ministry of Transport provides the funding program “Investments in renewable fuels” for the production of renewable fuels. The federal government has not yet released the money that is needed to ramp up the market for bio-hydrogen in Germany, but says that the money will be funded, but that no applications are possible at the moment. The company hopes to be fully operational by summer, with the hydrogen filling system from TÜV approved by the end of the year. The hydrogen will be used to fuel five buses with hydrogen, says the managing director of BtX energy GmbH, Andy Gradel.
