In response to disruptions in Russian gas exports, Kelheim Fibers, based in Bavaria, Germany, is proactively seeking alternative energy sources. The company, a key player in various industries, is currently shifting from gas to heating oil temporarily, albeit with increased carbon emissions. Looking ahead, Kelheim Fibers aims to be a pioneer in Bavaria by transitioning to hydrogen, a cleaner energy source when produced sustainably. Energy costs, a significant expense for the company, are driving this shift. The move reflects a broader trend in Germany, with small and medium-sized enterprises focusing on diversifying their energy mix to ensure production sustainability while meeting emissions targets. The gas crisis has prompted Germany to reconsider its energy sources, including reactivating coal-fired power plants, endangering emission goals. However, economists like Klaus Wohlrabe see an opportunity for greener production in the long run. Kelheim Fibers is in discussions regarding hydrogen imports, indicating a strategic move towards a hydrogen-based future. Germany's approval of a hydrogen pipeline network and an action plan to support climate-neutral production demonstrates a commitment to green energy. The utility industry association BDEW highlights the need for a Hydrogen Act to streamline regulations and accelerate the hydrogen ramp-up. Investments in renewable energies, hydrogen, and infrastructure are essential for Germany's energy transition success.
