The project aims to develop proposals for designing future supply chains for alternative energy sources in Lake Constance shipping. The focus is on electricity, hydrogen, and hydrogen-based energy sources and their derivatives.

To this end, we are using scenarios to project how the electricity and fuel requirements for shipping on Lake Constance might change in the coming years. At the same time, the project is investigating the regional potential for renewable energy, particularly from photovoltaics, wind power and, where applicable, hydropower.

Another key focus is the question of how hydrogen and its derivatives can be transported to Lake Constance, and what transport and distribution infrastructure would be required. What options are available for regional production? What regulatory frameworks need to be taken into account?

The project is also developing proposals for innovation initiatives to support the development of a sustainable energy supply for shipping on Lake Constance, for instance in the areas of production, storage and logistics.
