Hydrogen is considered the "energy carrier of tomorrow," and the tangible consequences of climate change and politics make its rapid introduction indispensable. But the path to an efficient hydrogen economy is complex, poses economic and social challenges - and requires excellent research. The large-scale hydrogen research project hyBit, coordinated by the University of Bremen, is now receiving nearly 30 million euros in funding from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

The central starting point of the project in Bremen's industrial port is the Arcelor Mittal steel mill. The steel sector is one of the outstanding industries that are starting the conversion process from coal and natural gas to green hydrogen with research and innovation. The hyBit project consortium is supported by 19 partners from science and industry working together with a strong collaborative approach. Project partners include the Wuppertal Institute, the Bremer Institut für Produktion und Logistik (BIBA) at the University of Bremen, Fraunhofer-IFAM (Bremen), Fraunhofer-ICT (Karlsruhe) and Bremen University of Applied Sciences, as well as other key players in Bremen industry such as Arcelor Mittal Bremen, swb and BLG.
