The WEST COAST 100 Regulatory Sandbox in Schleswig-Holstein, which is receiving funding from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, is to generate green hydrogen from offshore wind energy and make the waste heat produced in this process available for further use.

The hydrogen is then to be used partly for the production of climate-friendly aircraft fuel and also to be fed into the gas networks. The fuel production is to do without fossil fuels, using unavoidable carbon dioxide emissions from regional cement production. This project is based on an integrated approach that brings together different material cycles within an existing regional infrastructure.

It is being implemented by a cross-sectoral partnership formed by EDF Germany, Holcim Germany, OGE, Ørsted, Raffinerie Heide, Heide utilities, thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions and Thüga, together with the development agency of the Heide region and FH Westküste University of Applied Sciences.
