Bavaria, a hydrogen pioneer in Germany, is making significant strides in advancing the hydrogen economy with a substantial investment of 65 million euros as part of the Bavarian Electrolyzer Funding Program, which has a total budget of 150 million euros. The primary objective of this state-level program is to develop a sustainable electrolyzer infrastructure in Bavaria, facilitating the use of hydrogen in various sectors such as industry, heating, and mobility to aid in the decarbonization of the economy. Hubert Aiwanger, the Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs and State Chairman of the FREIE WÄHLER Bavaria, emphasizes that the new electrolyzers will lay a strong foundation for a robust domestic hydrogen economy. He commends the selected companies for their innovative strength and entrepreneurial drive, highlighting the significant progress made possible through their efforts. The supported hydrogen projects are expected to directly contribute to decarbonization and offer tangible benefits to the economy. Aiwanger also expresses optimism about future collaborations with Katherina Reiche, the newly nominated Federal Minister for Economic Affairs, anticipating positive outcomes for the economy and energy policy. He hopes that Reiche's experience as the chair of the National Hydrogen Council will bring renewed momentum to the advancement of the hydrogen economy in Germany, overcoming past ideological barriers and driving the much-needed breakthrough for hydrogen technologies.
