Study H2 infrastructure Kelheim and Regensburg
The course of the hydrogen core network as the basic framework for the development of the hydrogen infrastructure in Germany is already available in accordance with the draft application of the Federal Network Agency and the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection. Building on this, the connection to the hydrogen core network from Ingolstadt via Kelheim to Regensburg for the use of hydrogen as an energy source is to be investigated.
The study "H2 Infrastructure Kelheim and Regensburg" is being carried out by the Hydrogen Alliance Danube Region Kelheim-Regensburg in cooperation with OTH Regensburg and is due to be completed at the beginning of 2025. The aim of the study is to investigate a possible hydrogen infrastructure in the Kelheim and Regensburg regions, both with and without a connection to the German H2 core network.
An essential part of the study is the estimation of the future hydrogen demand in the districts of Kelheim and Regensburg (urban and rural) for the years 2030, 2035 and 2040, analyzing potential connection options of the regions to the German H2 core grid and evaluating the local potential for the production of hydrogen from renewable energies.
The OTH is responsible for key tasks such as researching and evaluating relevant data, simulating regional hydrogen production using renewable energies and coordinating the project. The partners provide support by exchanging data, identifying potential connections to the German H2 core network and simulating hydrogen pipelines within the regions.
