Our partner presentation continues today with aconium GmbH, which is promoting sustainable transport and energy efficiency in the project.
Who is aconium?
The German partner aconium accompanies the public sector when aiming to realise projects in the fields of digitalisation, energy, mobility and education. We bring municipalities, regions and companies together and jointly develop the infrastructure of the future. Strengthening rural areas is one focus of our work. Together with German and European partners, we work in funding projects to enhance the digitalisation of rural areas, to develop smart mobility concepts for cities and regions or intelligent strategies that promote the transition from fossil to renewable energy sources.
Our role in the project
aconium has been a partner in various European and national projects to promote sustainable transport and energy efficiency. Some of these initiatives supported the introduction of H2 mobility in all EU regions and led to the mapping of existing H2 networks. Within LIHYP, aconium fosters the regional development of an H2 network, drawing on a present mesh of business and public actors. By this we support capacity building for LIHYP, contribute to sustainable project success and promote the projects results. aconium will furthermore be involved in project activities related to the emerging H2 NSR platform marketplace and the interregional H2 Dynamic Roadmaps, working closely with the project partners.
Our vision for the hydrogen economy of the future:
Our vision for a hydrogen economy of the future is an energy infrastructure, where low-carbon hydrogen is used to decarbonize critical industries, transportation and the built environment. A wide application of hydrogen is possible, if sufficient clean water sources can be utilised, transported and stored as well as green hydrogen and electrolyser costs decrease with economics of scale. Sustainable flood retention basins and pipelines will play a role in collecting, storing and transporting water. Pipelines, trucks and ships will transport hydrogen. A water availability atlas should supplement a European hydrogen atlas, supporting regional development of a hydrogen network and building capacity to link hydrogen power potentials.
