What Hysolutions Gmbh does

hySOLUTIONS GmbH is a Hamburg-based project developer and coordinator focused on decarbonization across mobility, industry, and energy supply. It operates as a professional services organization that identifies relevant stakeholders, designs concepts, and develops strategies for hydrogen applications and electromobility, primarily serving the Hamburg metropolitan region. The company manages a portfolio of 27+ active projects (e.g., dtec emob, Norddeutsches Reallabor, FAMOUS, ELBE, FARFALLE, BZ-BusCluster, e4ships, H2ME, HGHH, HH-WIN) and serves as a coordination interface to German federal ministries (BMWK, BMDV, BMBF), EU funding bodies (IPCEI) and the City of Hamburg's Behörden.

The company's core offering is project development and management, not a software or hardware product. It works through public-sector-funded consortia involving municipal utilities (Hamburger Energiewerke, Gasnetz Hamburg, Stromnetz Hamburg, Stadtreinigung Hamburg), transport operators (Hamburger Hochbahn, VHH), industrial off-takers, and research institutions (HAW Hamburg, HSU, DLR, Fraunhofer). Its revenue model is professional services funded through public grants and project reimbursements; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is owned in part by Hamburger Energiewerke and Gasnetz Hamburg as co-shareholders, with a supervisory board chaired by Staatsrat Dr. Christopher Schwieger, signaling governmental oversight. Day-to-day management is led by Geschäftsführer Peter Lindlahr and Christoph Steinkamp. Distribution is direct enterprise engagement with public and quasi-public stakeholders; the company's website and LinkedIn presence serve primarily as information and contact channels rather than commercial sales funnels.

Core offering

hySOLUTIONS develops and manages innovative decarbonization projects across mobility, industry, and energy supply in the Hamburg metropolitan region. The company acts as a project developer and coordinator, bringing together relevant stakeholders from government, municipal utilities, industry, and research, designing concepts, and developing strategies for hydrogen applications and electromobility. It coordinates project consortia and serves as an interface to public funding bodies at the Hamburg state, German federal, and EU levels.

Product overview

hySOLUTIONS GmbH is a project development and coordination company (not a software product company) focused on decarbonization across three service areas: Mobilität (mobility, including electromobility, charging infrastructure, hydrogen refueling, digital transport, maritime and aviation), Energiesystem (energy systems, covering sector coupling, electricity grid transformation, and hydrogen infrastructure), and Industrie (industrial decarbonization via hydrogen, CCU/CCS, and battery economy). Its core offering is project management and coordination services — identifying suitable stakeholders, designing concepts, developing funding strategies, and coordinating R&D and infrastructure projects — primarily within the Hamburg metropolitan region but also with national and European scope. The company manages an extensive portfolio of projects (27 listed) covering electromobility, hydrogen applications, charging infrastructure, battery technology, and energy system intelligence.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH: Project management organization coordinating public-funded innovation projects across energy, mobility, and industrial transformation themes. Comparable in its coordination and consortium-management capabilities to hySOLUTIONS, but operating at federal/EU scale across many sectors.
• Projektträger Jülich (PtJ): Federal project management organization that administers publicly funded research and innovation programs on behalf of German federal ministries. Functions as a broader incumbent in the same project-coordination space hySOLUTIONS occupies at the regional level, with significantly larger scale and federal reach.

Regional players

• e-mobil BW GmbH: State agency of Baden-Württemberg for new mobility and fuel cells. Operates as the Baden-Württemberg counterpart to hySOLUTIONS' Hamburg mandate, coordinating electromobility and hydrogen projects at the state level — comparable in role and structure but serving a different geography.
• LandesEnergieAgentur Hessen (LEA Hessen): State energy agency for Hesse, coordinating energy transition, hydrogen, and electromobility projects across Hesse. Comparable to hySOLUTIONS in function (regional decarbonization coordination) but serving a different German state with its own industrial base and political sponsors.
• Cluster Erneuerbare Energien Hamburg (CEEH): Hamburg-based cluster for renewable energy stakeholders, providing networking and project initiation support for energy transition actors. Operates in the same geographic and thematic space as hySOLUTIONS, with overlapping stakeholders but a broader cluster mandate versus hySOLUTIONS' project-management focus.
• EnergieAgentur.NRW: North Rhine-Westphalia's state energy agency, supporting hydrogen, sector coupling, and industrial decarbonization across NRW's industrial heartland. Operates a comparable regional coordination mandate to hySOLUTIONS' Hamburg work but at much larger industrial scale.
• ThEGA Thüringer Energie- und GreenTech-Agentur: Thuringia's state energy and green-tech agency, coordinating hydrogen, energy transition, and decarbonization projects across the state. Functions as a structural regional peer to hySOLUTIONS, with a comparable role but serving Thuringia's industrial and political ecosystem.

Direct peers

• EE ENERGY ENGINEERS GmbH: Co-manager of the German Fuel Cell Bus Cluster (BZ-BusCluster) alongside hySOLUTIONS, organizing cluster meetings and surveying 80+ member transport companies. EE ENERGY ENGINEERS is the closest direct operating peer, sharing both clientele (transport operators) and consortium-coordination activities.
• NOW GmbH (Nationale Organisation Wasserstoff- und Brennstoffzellentechnologie): Germany's national coordinator for hydrogen and fuel cell technology programs. NOW GmbH is already a strategic partner of hySOLUTIONS in projects including BZ-BusCluster, e4ships, and FAMOUS, and operates at the national level on mandates very similar in nature to hySOLUTIONS' regional coordination work.

Emerging players

• adelphi research gGmbH: Independent research and consultancy organization working on energy transition, climate policy, and hydrogen economy topics. Comparable to hySOLUTIONS in its thematic focus (hydrogen, sector coupling) and stakeholder engagement work, but differentiates as a policy research firm rather than a regional project coordinator.
