Climate-friendly steel for our future

The Erfurt Chamber of Industry and Commerce and the TH2ECO project hosted a joint event entitled "Hydrogen as an Opportunity for the Thuringian Economy of Tomorrow" at the Erfurt Chamber of Industry and Commerce on Thursday, 20 June 2024.

This event offered a comprehensive insight into the strategic importance of a sustainable hydrogen economy for Thuringia. The discussion focussed on the opportunities and challenges of hydrogen as a basis for the economic development of the region and on the possibilities of subsidised support for the conversion of production to hydrogen and the advantages that the Thuringian hydrogen ecosystem TH2ECO brings for local players.

Mr Florian Erfurth, project engineer in the Technical Projects department at Stahlwerk Thüringen, presented a number of specific areas of work and possible applications relating to hydrogen within our company.

The presentation emphasised on technical challenges as well as regulatory and economic obstacles.
