The past few days were characterised by good discussions with domestic and foreign guests, experts and interested parties. It began with an intensive exchange of ideas on the hydrogen economy with the Schleswig-Holstein Economic Development and Technology Transfer Agency (WTSH) in Kiel. This was followed in the evening by a relaxed round of our “Klönschnack” with neighbours. And the next morning, we received a visit from Berlin: the energy and infrastructure specialists from the Dutch embassy came to find out about the current status of this European project.

Excellent, forward-looking discussions with our partner team from ConocoPhillips from Norway, London and the USA to bring them up to date. The two days were more than intensively spent – at our project office, on site at the future location, in the regional plant manager roundtable (“Werkleiterrunde”), as well as at the state government in Kiel. Beyond the day, the focus was also on the prospects at the site in order to systematically advance the low-fossil and fossil-free future through mutual learnings. Thanks to ConocoPhillips for the visit, thanks to all other participants for the input.
