Concept submitted on 31 October 2018

On 31 October 2018, we submitted the concept for our project to the project manage­ment agency. This concludes the concept phase of the Wandel durch Inno­va­tion in der Region (WIR!) programme. For the past seven months, we have worked inten­si­vely to develop a stra­tegy outlining the steps to achieve our vision: ‘Wind and water to ammonia – marine fuel and energy storage for a zero-emis­sion future’. At CAMPFIRE events, we made targeted contact with various stake­hol­ders from science, poli­tics and industry. Toge­ther we considered the poten­tial of our vision, as well as possible obsta­cles to success. During this process, we received valuable input on prac­tical requi­re­ments, espe­ci­ally from the various compa­nies we consulted.

We would like to thank all part­ners for their active support and parti­ci­pa­tion in deve­lo­ping the concept.

We are keeping our fingers crossed that the Federal Ministry of Educa­tion and Rese­arch (BMBF) will approve our concept, which would allow us to start the imple­men­ta­tion phase at the begin­ning of next year.

For further infor­ma­tion, please see the press release on our concept submis­sion (in German).
