Today's focus is on 'Hydrogen': Minister of State Dulig tours the Southern Thermal Power Station.
On Monday, State Minister Martin Dulig will descend on Leipzig as part of his "Hydrogen" focused tour. Kicking things off, he'll visit the Süd Heating Power Plant where he'll link up with a crew pushing hydrogen projects across the region.
Next on the agenda, Dulig will catch up on the ins and outs of the EEX, an international energy exchange with Saxony's capital as its headquarters. Rounding out his day will be a trip to Leipzig/Halle Airport, where plans are underway for a hub producing and utilizing emission-free aviation fuels.
Leipzig has been making some serious strides in green hydrogen initiatives, as highlighted by the ongoing DAAD Green Hydrogen Research Tour slated to hit the city on September 14, 2025 [1][3][4].
