Address increasing grid bottlenecks caused by the rapid expansion of solar and wind power plants in the region (up to 1.4 GW of solar + 600 MW of wind)
Identify potential locations and assess the economic viability of hydrogen production facilities in both counties
Consolidation of information on the planned expansion of renewable energy with project developers, utilities, and grid operators
Identification of potential H2 customers in the region
Six sites for an H2 production facility were identified, with priority given to sites in Münnerstadt and Bad Neustadt
Residents were informed about the renewable energy and hydrogen production projects during public information sessions
The study played a key role in helping us strengthen cross-county cooperation in the field of hydrogen, increase public acceptance of the wind farm, and successfully apply for funding.
Gunter Häckner, Managing Director of R3 RegionalEnergie GmbH, Münnerstadt
Hydrogen production is a key component for the region and industry in terms of industrial development and job security
Potential for renewable energy and the economic viability of hydrogen production: at least 5–10 MW of electrolysis capacity per county
The study enabled the districts to successfully apply for the “Bavarian Funding Program for the Development of an Electrolyzer Infrastructure” (BayFELI)
Stakeholders from both districts involved in designing the facilities were brought together
The conditions for achieving the targeted H2 production by the end of 2027 have been established
Feasibility study: H2 production in the districts of Bad Kissingen and Rhön-Grabfeld
Feasibility study: H2 production in the districts of Bad Kissingen and Rhön-Grabfeld
Completion: 2026
