Event 2025

Energy meets Industries: The energy transition – the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources – is well underway both in the economy and in society. And that’s a positive development that allows us to be confident about the challenges that lie ahead. Because we still have a long way to go. But we have already shown that we are taking huge strides in the right direction.

Combining a comprehensive sustainability transformation while maintaining Germany’s competitive edge as an industrial base will continue to be our focus in 2025.

We have long known that this transformation impacts every sector – and that we can only achieve success by working together. So we need to discuss our approach, including the following key questions:

  • The transformation of industry is gaining momentum: What can we learn from the projects that have already been implemented?

  • BESS – Battery Energy Storage Systems: Are these answer to the restructuring of our energy infrastructure or just a short-term trend?

  • Hydrogen, CO2, ‘waste’ heat: What infrastructure is required for decarbonization?

  • From thermal design to implementation: What are the factors that determine whether a project is successful?

The Energy meets Industries event will take place from 09:00 to 17:00 on October 23, 2025 at the ZAL TechCenter in Hamburg. We cordially invite you to attend an exclusive panel discussion for business leaders from 18:30 on the day before the event (October 22). You will also have the opportunity to visit one of Hamburg’s energy transition projects – the Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub – or to take a guided tour of the ZAL laboratories and learn about current research topics. Meet at ZAL at 16:15 for the guided tour of the Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub. From there, you will be taken by bus to Moorburg. A presentation on the Green Hydrogen Hub will be followed by a tour of the construction site.

We believe in the principle that ‘Entrepreneurs engage”. In other words, we would like you – as experts and decision-makers – to take part in the discussions, sharing your needs and your experience, and working together to develop solutions.

“Only by working together can we achieve the energy transition in the industrial metropolis of Hamburg. We are recovering industrial waste heat for district heating and establishing green hydrogen production for industry.”

Kirsten Fust Technical Manager of Hamburger Energiewerke

“The current situation demands not only new technical solutions for the resource, power and heating transitions, but also completely new forms of cooperation both to achieve successful transformation and to maintain Germany’s competitive edge as an industrial base.”
