“Reallabor Energiezukunft" (future-energy laboratory): Oberfrankenstiftung is supporting the University of Bayreuth’s cooperation project on the Wunsiedel site to the tune of € 5 million

The Centre for Energy Technology (ZET) at the University of Bayreuth is receiving € 5 million euros from the Oberfrankenstiftung foundation for a new research and development project. Together with the town of Wunsiedel and the WUN H2 GmbH company, in which Wunsiedel municipal utilities, SWW Wunsiedel GmbH, Rießner-Gase GmbH in Lichtenfels, and Siemens AG all have stakes, the University of Bayreuth will further promote the storage and energetic use of "green" hydrogen, and trial it on site.
