sunny day in north-east Germany it seems as though the world is running on renewable energy
Near Altentreptow 50-odd giant wind turbines
The hum from the base of each turbine is the sound of electricity being generated

Schlussbericht
By integrating a CO2-free hydrogen storage facility within a wind park
consumers will gain access to wind energy on demand
regenerative power plants will make an active contribution to increased network stability and to the integration of regenerative energy into the power supply network
The CO2-free wind-hydrogen system planned in the RH2-WKA project represents a milestone for sustainable industrial application due to its capacity: The wind park is comprised of up to 28 wind energy plants (partly > 7 mW) with a total load exceeding 140 mW
The high-performance wind park will provide clean energy for approximately 1000 households
the hydrogen plant will power the wind park itself
It will boast 1mW performance and store the hydrogen at a pressure of 300 bar
The modular design of the hydrogen combined heat and power unit enables performance peaks of up to 250 kWel to be sustained for several hours
Further expansion to a regenerative power plant is planned for the future
Project planning is being undertaken by WIND-projekt Gmbh
The NIP-supported RH2 Werder/Kessin/Altentreptow demonstration and innovation project by the company WIND-project went into operation in September 2013
The alkaline electrolyser is run by surplus wind power that exceeds the intake capacity of the available electricity networks
temporarily stored in gas cylinders and reconverted to electricity in combined heat and power plants upon demand
As soon as power is required — even when there is no breeze — the hydrogen combustion engines start and produce electricity via a generator
The stored amount of hydrogen is sufficient to run the combined heat and power plants at full power for two days and can thereby cover the own electricity requirements of a neighbouring wind park
this project enables the perpetuation of wind power in electricity networks to thereby pave the way to allow the continual
largescale feeding in of power made using renewable energy
An expansion of the current project to incorporate a facility to feed in hydrogen to the natural gas network is being considered

Police in the north-eastern state of Mecklenburg Western Pomerania said that a 13-year-old girl from the town of Altentreptow died on Monday in hospital after taking one the blue pills featuring a skull logo associated with the Marvel comic book character The Punisher
were also admitted to hospital after taking the drug
A 37-year-old German has been detained in connection with the girl’s death
Authorities in the neighbouring state of Brandenburg are also investigating the death of a 15-year-old girl who died in the town of Rathenow over the weekend after a suspected narcotics overdose
Prosecutors say an autopsy will determine whether she
“We warn against any consumption of narcotics
but especially the dangerous ‘Blue Punisher’ pill,” Neubrandenburg police said in a statement
“These pills have a very high dose of (the chemical) MDMA.”
