We continue with our specialists for public relations and knowledge and technology transfer - the Oldenburg Energy Cluster OLEC from Germany.
Who is OLEC?
OLEC ist the largest cross-technology energy network in North-West Germany. With over 60 Members we create, support and promote the Energy Transition in Lower Saxony and cross-border. Our main goal is linking and collaborating with all stakeholders to built a climate neutral energy system, fasten up the mobility turnaround, help creating a green hydrogen economy, promote innovations for heat in buildings and urban neighbourhoods and digital applications for the energy industry. Let's work together for a sustainable future.
What is our role in the project?
Together with the lead partner, the New Energy Coalition, we are organising the public relations work for the project, supporting the organisation and implementation of events and workshops and coordinating the pilot in Oldenburg together with DLR. Our aim is to communicate the project content, objectives and results in the north-west region and the Interreg programme area in a way that is tailored to the specific target group.
Our vision for the hydrogen economy of the future:
The OLEC network strives for a pioneering hydrogen vision for the North Sea region based on the synergistic interaction of renewable energy production and the development of the hydrogen economy. The vision focusses on a significant market ramp-up of the hydrogen economy in the region, which requires an extensive expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure in parallel to the ongoing expansion of the electricity grid. To cope with the increasing complexity of the energy system, increased energy co-operation in the wider North Sea region is sought. This European perspective emphasises the joint planning and implementation of renewable energy production, storage, transport and the market ramp-up of the hydrogen economy in order to be successful internationally.
