About
Niedersächsisches Wasserstoff-Netzwerk is a ngo headquartered in Hannover, Germany specializing in Hydrogen.
The Niedersächsisches Wasserstoff-Netzwerk (NWN) serves as the central contact point for hydrogen topics in Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen). The organization supports and advises various stakeholders from politics, business, and science to advance the hydrogen economy. The NWN is funded by the Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Umwelt, Energie und Klimaschutz (Lower Saxony Ministry for Environment, Energy and Climate Protection) and operates in partnership with the Klimaschutz- und Energieagentur Niedersachsen GmbH, Institut der Norddeutschen Wirtschaft, and other regional partners. The network facilitates connections between hydrogen producers and consumers, organizes conferences and networking events, provides information on funding opportunities, and supports workforce development and training initiatives. Lower Saxony, as a coastal state with abundant renewable energy from wind power and extensive salt caverns for hydrogen storage, is positioned as a central hub for Germany's hydrogen economy. The NWN tracks and promotes diverse hydrogen projects including production facilities (e.g., Hanseatic Hydrogen 100 MW electrolyzer, Nienburg solar-powered production, Krummhörn storage testing), district-level applications (ENaQ Oldenburg climate-neutral quarter), and industrial decarbonization initiatives (green steel production in Lingen).
