The Ministry of the Environment of Baden-Württemberg has approved funding for two hydrogen projects under the ELY program, totaling €50.7 million for eight electrolysis projects with a capacity of 55 MW. The projects, part of the 3H2 network, aim to establish regional hydrogen hubs.

In Achern, the fischer group will install a 1 MW electrolyser powered by two wind turbines, set to be operational by 2027. The hydrogen produced will support various applications at the facility. The HydroportKehl project, led by RMA Kehl, plans to set up a 1 MW electrolyser at Kehl port, producing approximately 80 tons of hydrogen annually for local energy-intensive companies such as Badische Stahlwerke and Koehler Paper Group, which have signed purchase agreements. The ELY program focuses on developing local hydrogen production to enhance competitiveness in the region.
