Puchheim near Munich— Hydrogen is the new coal in Bochum. The emission-free living of the future with renewable raw materials is given high priority in the Ruhr area as part of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Bavarian hydrogen fuel cell expert “Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH” ( www.proton-motor.de ) is pleased about the latest order in the stationary application area. Germany’s leading housing company, “Vonovia SE” ( www.vonovia.de ), is planning a spectacular project and has ordered a 36 kW fuel cell worth around EUR 110,000 from the Bavarian engineers.
In the middle of the Bochum district of Weitmar is a settlement with 1,400 tenants. As the owner of the neighborhood on Bärendorfer Strasse, Vonovia will try out measures that will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions over the next three years. The current project in the heart of the Ruhr area with its historic coal mining is called “[email protected]”. In the test generation and heating of the future, those responsible want to use hydrogen as storage, geothermal energy, photovoltaics, fuel cells and heat pumps, among other things. For this reason, a 36 kW fuel cell was ordered from Proton Motor and is intended for the new glass energy center of the future. The machinery under construction is scheduled to officially open in summer 2020,
