World premiere in Salzgitter: The first converted shunting locomotive runs on hydrogen!
At the Wasserstoff Campus Salzgitter, the pursued goal is the realization of hydrogen technologies along the entire value chain from creation to utilization, taking into account economic and ecological aspects, thereby serving as a training platform for specialists and executives throughout the region and beyond.
At the Wasserstoff Campus Salzgitter, the city of Salzgitter, as initiator, the Projektbüro Südostniedersachen – a joint initiative between the Amt für regionale Landesentwicklung Braunschweig (Braunschweig office for regional development) and Allianz für die Region GmbH (regional association of partners from business, science, politics, administration, trade associations and trade unions) – and the companies Salzgitter AG, Everllence, Robert Bosch Elektronik GmbH, Alstom Transport Deutschland GmbH, WEVG Salzgitter GmbH & Co. KG and TLK-Thermo GmbH are already working on four projects that have been launched on the topics of hydrogen mobility, the storage of hydrogen in steel tanks, factory transformation in order to decarbonize the value chain, and conceptual design of a green hydrogen supply for the Salzgitter region. The Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films IST is the scientific partner and is providing support for all sub-projects.
We cover the entire value chain:






At the Wasserstoff Campus Salzgitter, the economically viable provision and utilization of hydrogen is to be researched and tested; as a result, train travel should become more environmentally friendly and steel should become greener in the future. In our film, we show you how the activities at the Wasserstoff Campus Salzgitter have progressed, which projects we are currently working on, and how the potential of hydrogen can be further exploited – both ecologically and economically – for a better future together. Prepare yourself for a surprise.
