The hydrogen marketplace and its origin
In cooperation with Brandenburg's Minister of Economics Jörg Steinbach and Berlin's Senator for Economics Stephan Schwarz, Localiser has developed a platform that simplifies and completely digitalizes the exchange of hydrogen. This is intended to accelerate the growth of the hydrogen economy in the long term.
The first hydrogen marketplace for the Berlin-Brandenburg region was finally published in April 2022. More than 200 projects were already planned and launched with its help within the first few months. The great demand and growing interest in the hydrogen marketplace inspired Localiser to make it available beyond the borders of Berlin-Brandenburg.
Since October 2022, the hydrogen marketplace has been available and usable throughout Germany. Since then, it has been possible for anyone to offer or search for hydrogen through our hydrogen marketplace.
With the hydrogen marketplace, Localiser wants to create a better overview of hydrogen availability and help to find partners in this field. Furthermore, the hydrogen marketplace is intended to take a big step towards climate protection and to advance the energy transition.
FAQ - Hydrogen Marketplace
What does the hydrogen marketplace do?
Hydrogen-based business models need a secure hydrogen supply. That's why we at Localiser developed Germany's first web-based, digital hydrogen marketplace. We can geo-reference hydrogen supply and demand in your region. This allows you to prepare your regional hydrogen exchange or hydrogen marketplace. We set up the whole thing completely digitally. And you use this data to build a suitable hydrogen infrastructure in your region.
Who can use the hydrogen marketplace?
What is the current status of the software?
The hydrogen marketplace can be used by all companies, organizations, institutions and individuals operating along the hydrogen value chain.
Localiser developed Germany's first interactive hydrogen platform by January 2022 as part of the Brandenburg Hydrogen Roadmap. This platform enables the data-supported, geo-referenced representation of hydrogen locations in a specific region and in this way makes hydrogen demand and hydrogen production visible. Due to high demand, the marketplace has been extended beyond the borders of Berlin-Brandenburg to create a Germany-wide tool for hydrogen supply and demand.
What level of detail is possible?
We know that not all hydrogen is the same. It exists in different qualities - depending on the application, for example in transport or heat. In addition, the pressure level and the ecological footprint are different. This information is displayed and taken into account in the Localiser hydrogen platform.
