Chemnitz Hydrogen Alliance: Future networks for the region!
On August 22, 2025, a network meeting on the hydrogen alliance took place in Chemnitz, which discussed the network infrastructure for the hydrogen economy.
Chemnitz Hydrogen Alliance: Future networks for the region!
Around 50 people from companies, research facilities and institutions recently gathered in Kraftverkehr Chemnitz to discuss the future of the hydrogen economy at the annual network meeting of the Chemnitz Hydrogen Alliance. This meeting, which was held for the third time, focused on one of the most crucial topics: the network infrastructure for hydrogen. A topic that is very popular in the current discussion about sustainable energies.
The discussions focused on both technical aspects and regulatory framework conditions. Those present agreed that efficient networks are a basic requirement for building a functioning hydrogen economy. “Hydrogen not only has an important role as an energy source, but also offers enormous potential for creating value for our regional economy,” explained Silvana Bergk, head of the economics division of the city of Chemnitz, setting the tone for a constructive exchange.
Hydrogen and its opportunities
Interest in the Hydrogen Alliance – a network that invites companies to actively participate in the regional hydrogen strategy – is growing in popularity. "This shows that we are on the right track here. Hydrogen could really stimulate the local economy," emphasized Bergk. An additional highlight of the event was the Hydrogen World Grand Prix, which took place at the same time, where young talents were able to compete in self-built, remote-controlled hydrogen vehicles. This sparks interest in innovative technologies at an early stage.
Another important step in the hydrogen strategy is the construction of the Hydrogen Innovation Center (HIC) in the immediate vicinity of the Reichenhainer Straße campus. This innovation and technology center, which is supported by the Federal Ministry of Transport, is intended to serve as a national location and thus further strengthen the Chemnitz region. It is a big win for research and development in hydrogen technologies.
At the end of the day it was clear: the conversations and ideas that emerged here are more than just smoke and mirrors. They marked an important milestone in the further development of one of the most promising energies of the future. The Chemnitz Hydrogen Alliance has not only opened up perspectives, but has also shown a good knack for bringing the players in the hydrogen economy together at the same table - and this exchange could ultimately make the difference on the way to a more sustainable future.
