“Green hydrogen is one of the keys to accelerating the transition to a climate-friendly industry and making global climate targets a reality. And the key to affordable green hydrogen in large quantities is: scalum,” says Dr. Werner Ponikwar, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera. “This award recognizes our ambition and responsibility to contribute pioneering technology solutions for a sustainable and energy-efficient future—and our commitment to sustainability.”
The German Sustainability Award Foundation recognizes companies, organizations, and individuals for their effective contribution to transformation and pioneering steps towards a sustainable future. The German Sustainability Award has been presented in close cooperation with the German government since 2008 and is a measure of the German Sustainability Strategy. According to the foundation, it is Europe’s largest award for ecological and social commitment.
The five-member independent expert jury of the product competition, with representatives from various sustainability areas, chose thyssenkrupp nucera because of its “leading role in the field of sustainability”, among other things. “The scalum product is a ‘beacon’ in its sector in terms of successful transformation,” it continued.
