At the end of May, influential figures from the worlds of business and academia gathered for an inspiring dinner at Lingnerschloss in Dresden. Among the guests were Dr Volker Wannack and Jonathan Osswald from the Blockchain Competence Centre Mittweida (BCCM) at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. Minister of State Martin Dulig (Saxon State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport) welcomed the participants and set the tone for the upcoming Green Hydrogen Innovation Congress 2024.

The following day, Dr Volker Wannack and Jonathan Osswald presented their pioneering project, the “Blockchain-Based Hydrogen Market”, at the conference. This project, developed in the Mittweida blockchain showcase region, utilises blockchain technology to revolutionise the green hydrogen market and make the entire supply chain transparent and secure. This enables the seamless verification of green hydrogen, opening up new business opportunities and strengthening Saxony’s position as a leading technology and energy region.

“It was a particular honour to be able to present our solution at this international conference,” said Dr Volker Wannack. “Our technology offers companies worldwide the opportunity to achieve their sustainability goals and improve the efficiency of their supply chains.” Jonathan Osswald added: “The feedback was extremely positive and the discussions with other experts from the hydrogen community were extremely insightful.”

Dr Wannack and Jonathan Osswald thanked Minister of State Martin Dulig, Nadine May and the entire organising team for the invitation and for the successful organisation of the event.

The Green Hydrogen Innovation Congress 2024 provided a significant platform for discovering groundbreaking innovations and actively shaping the future of energy. Dr Wannack and Jonathan Osswald called for a collective effort to tackle the challenges and drive the world forward with sustainable energy.
