The field of activity of the Supply Chain innovation focus covers all processes of raw material and material processing: starting with the provision of the various raw materials, through electricity generation and the provision/preparation of water for electrolysis, via the electrolysis process itself to the provision of the prepared hydrogen and carbon for the subsequent synthesis process. The work of the Supply Chain innovation focus area therefore starts at these stages.

Experts from the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research, Infraserv Höchst and the state agency e-mobil BW are responsible for the innovation focus.

Complex topic with many points of contact

Example of a supply chain for electricity-based fuels via synthesis: there are overlaps with the user innovation focus areas, as well as with production, sustainability, market and regulation.
