Germany is making significant strides in renewable energy, especially with green hydrogen. A new pilot plant in Thuringia uses SOEC electrolyzer technology, which produces hydrogen more efficiently and can convert CO2 into syngas for sustainable fuels. The Fraunhofer IKTS institute sees its stacking technology as a major breakthrough after nearly 30 years of development. Although widespread commercialization is still years away, hydrogen filling stations for buses and trucks are being established to support greener transportation. Despite the limited number of hydrogen-powered cars, Germany remains committed to integrating hydrogen into its energy future.
