1 INTRODUCTION
The increasing demand for clean energy solutions has led to a growing interest in green hydrogen as a versatile and
environmentally friendly energy carrier. Unlike conventional hydrogen production methods that involve carbon-intensive
processes, green hydrogen is generated through the electrolysis of water using electricity from renewable sources, ensuring a
carbon-neutral outcome. Green hydrogen has diverse applications across industries, including transportation, industrial
processes, and energy storage.

2 GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION PROCESS

Green hydrogen is made by using clean energy from sources like the sun, wind, or water to split water into hydrogen and
oxygen. This process, called electrolysis, produces hydrogen without emitting carbon dioxide. The hydrogen can then be
stored and used as a clean fuel for various applications, contributing to a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy
solution.

3 GREEN HYDROGEN VALUE CHAIN

The green hydrogen value chain comprises a sequence of stages in the production and utilization of hydrogen generated
through electrolysis powered by renewable energy. Beginning with the generation of clean energy from sources like wind or
solar, the electricity is then employed in the electrolysis process, where water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. The produced
hydrogen undergoes purification and may be compressed and stored for transport to end-users, facilitated by distribution
infrastructure. Upon reaching consumers, green hydrogen finds application in various sectors, including transportation,
industrial processes, energy storage, and power generation through fuel cells. The success of the green hydrogen value chain
is influenced by supportive policies, ongoing research and development efforts, and consumer awareness, collectively
contributing to the global shift toward sustainable and low-carbon energy systems.
Despite the promising prospects of green hydrogen, challenges persist in its widespread adoption, including issues related to
infrastructure development, the intermittency of renewable energy sources, and policy frameworks. The exploration of these
challenges, along with proposed solutions, offers valuable insights into the future role of green hydrogen as a crucial player in
the global energy landscape’s decarbonisation.

4 MARKET SURVEY DESIGN

On behalf of Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the Export-Akademie Baden-Württemberg
carried out a market survey targeting on German companies in the green hydrogen (GH2) value chain. The aim is to identify
potential collaborators and companies showing interest in the Indian market. To identify relevant German companies the
following market survey process was implemented:
1. Compilation of an initial list of over 450 companies working the green hydrogen value chain through internet
research.
2. Online survey from November 2023 to January 2024.
3. Engagement of German Green Hydrogen Clusters to share the survey with their cluster members.

4. Further identification of German companies working the green hydrogen value chain in the networks of Export-
Akademie Baden-Württemberg GmbH and the SUTM Steinbeis Center for Sustainable Technology and
Management GMBH.
5. Analysis of 56 survey responses of companies specialising in the hydrogen value chain. In this database
companies from abroad as well as companies with no interest in India were included.
6. From 56 companies 52 were identified with interested in the Indian market.
7. In February 2024 these companies were contacted again for verifying the individual matrix and company
information.

In the following matrix the profiles of 50 German companies have been summarised. It provides a thorough look at each
company, covering aspects like their industry category, unique position in the green hydrogen value chain, and a detailed
description of their products or services.

The matrix is divided into 14 primary categories, each subdivided into a total of 62 specific areas. The main categories include:
1. Service Category
2. Energy & Conversion
3. Energy Storage
4. Conversion H2O to H2
5. Storage & Transport
6. Materials & Components
7. Quality, Standards & Norms
8. Infra-structure
9. R&D
10. Training

AMBARtec AG is a technology start-up company in the energy and hydrogen storage business. For our clients,
we plan and develop solutions for compact and long-term energy storage for transport, decentralized
1 regeneration with combined heat and power (CHP) and peak shaving, as well as for the future mobility.

Efficient hydrogen storage systems are a key prerequisite for the success of the energy transition. AMBARtec
has developed an efficient, flexible and safe energy storage process based on hydrogen and iron oxide, which is
offered as a 20-foot container and is ideally suited for decentralised energy storage, hydrogen transport - even
over very long distances - and for hydrogen propulsion systems for ships.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (MV) is the most important generating region for green electricity in the whole of
Germany. Due to the accelerated expansion of renewable energies, far more electricity is now being generated
in MV (2017: 15.8 TWh) than consumed (6.7 TWh). Electricity generation from renewable energies alone
47 exceeded the country's electricity requirements by around 70 percent in 2017. Compared to other locations in
Germany, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has enough green electricity to produce large quantities of “green
hydrogen”. From Schwerin to Stralsund, there is a wide range of expertise and experience in the field of
hydrogen technology. This applies to scientific competence as well as to concrete implementation at company
level.
