The market for Americana in Germany is not large
Josh Rouse was telling me the other day that it isn’t worth his while to tour there because audiences
But to the rescue has ridden a remarkable promoter with a stunning back-story called Dietmar Leibecke
It’s now the seventh year of the Static Roots Festival that has gradually built up in the Ruhr town of Oberhausen
to which flocks a faithful and knowledgeable audience
largely based on the community surrounding Kilkenny Roots in Ireland
Taking place indoors in a disused zinc factory and cultural hub
it’s a uniquely convivial event curated with meticulous skill and taste
Friday kicked off with some pleasing melodic country rock with a Scandinavian twist from Norway’s Ole Kirkeng
climaxing with an apt new song called ‘Foreign Country Singer Blues’
Jenny Don’t and the Spurs have an admirable apostrophe and a schizophrenic image
One half of the stage is Grand Ole Opry and the other half is the Ramones
The mutant country with attitude (they call it North Western Western) was exactly what the crowd required
as the ghost of Duane Eddy and his twang looked over their shoulder
The Norwegian contingent returned to the stage to back singer Louien in a mercifully less frantic set that epitomized the stunning contrasts that Static Roots can pull off
The ethereal nature of her music was perfect
the understated presence and relatable lyrics leading to a respectful and gripped silence in the audience
Compère Jeff Robson reminded us that Chris Cacavas has played with both Green On Red and the Dream Syndicate
Now resident in Germany and making a very rare appearance with a band
creating an authentic vibe that richly suited this audience
most of whom will have got their alt-country training through Green On Red
The loping beat and confident vocals show that
A certain amount of angst had been generated among the organisers by the stipulation in the Sadies’ contract that it was verboten to tell them to turn the volume down
With a back projection of the much-missed Dallas Good benignly watching over them
the trio hit the emotional button with their characteristic quick-fire segueways
infectious blasts of tunefulness and extended effects-filled spaghetti western guitar workouts
Huge responsibility now rests on the shoulders of Travis Good
Day two started with an amiable interview with Willy Vlautin
sensitively conducted by Americana expert Nick West of Bucketful Of Brains
The Delines’ genial bassist Freddy Trujillo also played a few of his touching new songs
the first Hammondesque sounds of the weekend wafted pleasantly behind deep-voiced troubadour Louis Brennan in front of an already poised crowd
bringing a hint of Nick Cave to the proceedings
Accompanied by Dutch instrumental royalty in the form of BJ Baartmans
Suzie Ungerleider’s poignant and beautiful songs were a perfect mid-afternoon balm for the soul
More Canadian music followed with the upbeat anthems of David Newbould
highly accessible and professionally performed
causing a split in the audience between those viewing him an alternative Ed Sheeran and those who were deeply moved by his heartfelt songwriting
I’m always impressed by artists who divide opinion – it means they aren’t bland
Hannah White hit the stage at precisely the right moment
Hannah and husband Keiron Marshall are crucial players in the UK roots scene
truly inspiring people and honest musicians of real character and charm
by some distance the most moving song of the weekend
also produced the most thrilling guitar solo of the entire event
The audience wiped away their tears and united in thunderous applause
Adding to this incredibly rich sequence of Static Roots was a simply delightful hour of The Delines (unbelievably already celebrating ten years as a band) who
were not in the least depressing and allowed Amy Boone to take the coveted crown of vocalist of the weekend
The rumour is true – they have actually added a couple of upbeat songs to the set
but ‘My Blood Bleeds The Darkest Blue’ was still the most chillingly dark song of the entire festival
The Delines have more rock and roll attitude than the rowdiest death metal band
Is it insulting to imagine that Austria is an unlikely source of quality country rock
Congratulations are due to the lovely Leibecke family for creating a festival that has none of the niggles that put you off such events: No clashes
no annoying talkers in the audience and a deeply knowledgeable approach to broad-minded curating of an event for connoisseurs and newcomers alike
again unlike many other festival organisers
profit is not the motive for all the hard work
because any leftover money goes to philanthropic causes
It is all truly heartwarming and very special

Air Liquide is the first provider to distribute RFNBO-certified renewable hydrogen in Germany
Air Liquide’s electrolyzer in Oberhausen is the first facility in Germany to receive the RFNBO 1 certificate
By labeling the hydrogen from Oberhausen as a renewable fuel
companies can now officially declare it as a greenhouse gas-reducing fuel
particularly in the mobility and industrial sectors such as refineries and chemicals
Air Liquide became the first company in Germany to receive official RFNBO certification
based on the ISCC 2 EU certification scheme
for its 20-megawatt PEM electrolyzer 3 in Oberhausen
This means that the renewable hydrogen produced in Oberhausen can now be traded as such according to official EU standards
and the certificate enables Air Liquide customers
particularly those in the transportation sector
to contribute to the legally required GHG 4 reduction quotas
Air Liquide’s Trailblazer electrolyzer is located in the heart of the Rhine-Ruhr Basin and was commissioned in 2024
REDCertEU) were officially recognized by the European Union to issue RFNBO certification
the German Federal Environment Agency recognized the certification of RFNBOs according to the schemes approved by the Commission
Trailblazer is now the first large-scale electrolyzer in Germany and Europe to receive RFNBO certification
thanks to the support of the independent auditor DEKRA Certification GmbH
The certification now obtained for Air Liquide’s renewable hydrogen calculates the carbon footprint along the entire supply chain
up to a hydrogen refueling station for mobility customers
The certification forms the basis for the hydrogen to be counted towards GHG quota fulfillment under the 37th Federal Immission Control Ordinance (BImSchV)
Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Air Liquide Deutschland GmbH
Air Liquide continues to break new ground in the renewable hydrogen economy
“Achieving RFNBO certification for our Trailblazer large-scale plant in Oberhausen is an important milestone
This certification enables us to effectively support our customers in achieving their decarbonization goals and complying with current legislation
We are proud to be able to offer them the necessary GHG quotas and real added value
My sincere thanks go to our dedicated Air Liquide teams
the German Environment Agency for their ongoing cooperation
and DEKRA for their professional and efficient support in achieving this goal
It confirms our principle that together we are indeed stronger.”

opened the first night of their latest tour in Germany
giving a host of tracks from new album 'Wild God' their live debut
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds kicked off their 2024 ‘Wild God’ European tour last night (September 24) – check out the full setlist
The legendary musician opened the ‘Wild God’ tour – in support of his new album of the same name – at the Rudolf Weber-Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, where he performed a host of new tracks live for the first time, along with classics and even a song from his side project Grinderman
The setlist included live highlights like ‘Jubilee Street’
‘From Her To Eternity’ and ‘Red Right Hand’
along with debuts for new songs like ‘Joy’
‘Frogs’ and ‘Wild God’
Cave and Co. also performed their most tender tracks including ‘I Need You’ and ‘Into My Arms’. There was even a performance of ‘Palaces Of Montezuma’ by Grinderman, the first time it’s been performed as Nick Cave and & The Bad Seeds, according to setlist.fm
This tour will see Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood join the band on bass across all dates
after it was announced that Martyn Casey wouldn’t be able to join due to illness
Greenwood played with Cave live on his recent solo tours as well as several dates of the ‘Carnage’ tour with Warren Ellis. Greenwood contributed parts to ‘Wild God’, too
Nick has a very personal slant on these records – particularly the last few
They have been very different to anything he’s ever done,” Ellis said
“He’s lost two of his kids; that’s something I could never understand
I’ve been around him when it’s happening and made the records with him
but I’ve never had something like that happen to me.”

He continued: “All that I could do was go in and work with him on the records
and try to do the right thing by the person
The best that you can do is to be there.”
NME awarded ‘Wild God’ four stars
writing that the “once dark prince lets the light in”
It added: “Once the godfather of goth
Cave elevates above the grief on this colourful 18th album.”

The record-breaking installation forms part of Planet Ozean (Planet Ocean)
a new exhibition focusing on the beauty of the world’s seas which opened at the Gasometer on 15 March
The highlight of Planet Ozean is the large-scale immersive work Die Welle (The Wave)
centred on a custom AV Stumpfl Flex Contrast PRO projection screen that rises 40 metres into the sky from the Gasometer’s central gallery
Conceived and implemented by Ars Electronica Solutions
Die Welle allows visitors to experience a photorealistic ocean world featuring gigantic crashing waves
“The Wave sculpture that we have developed here
in close collaboration with Ars Electronica Solutions and the composer Rupert Huber of Tosca
immersive experience that would only be possible here in the Gasometer,” comments Nils Sparwasser
The computer-generated content for Die Welle was created from scratch by Ars Electronica Solutions
which began by simulating a virtual oceanic basin with a volume of over six million cubic metres of water
Using seven 30,000-lumen Epson laser projectors
the final product is projected onto a vast interlocking screen surface
Sigma System Audio-Visuell (Sigma AV) was responsible for integrating the AV equipment
overseeing projector positions and housings
and installation according to Ars Electronica Solutions’ specifications
while geo – Die Luftwerker planned and constructed the ‘Wave’ itself
and installation and positioning of both screen surfaces (again according to Ars Electronica Solutions’ spec)

OQ Chemicals declares Force Majeure for certain products manufactured at the Oberhausen
Traveling to the construction site of Air Liquide’s ‘Trailblazer’ electrolyzer project
one is starkly reminded why the Ruhr Area is called ‘the industrial heart’ of Germany
The conurbation bordering on the Netherlands is home to more than 5 million people – and has a century-old history of heavy industry
In addition to the dense network of road and railway tracks
refineries and power plants with their innumerable chimney stacks
especially for the heavy industry and mobility sectors: Namely through hydrogen production from renewable energies
in the middle of a 120-hectare chemical plant
the construction works for one of Europe’s most important production facilities for renewable hydrogen are in full swing: This is where
the ‘Trailblazer’ project will break new ground
Based on a 24-stack electrolyzer from Siemens Energy
the 20-megawatt project will produce 335 kilograms of low-carbon hydrogen and 2680 kilograms of renewable oxygen per hour
with the potential to expand to 30 megawatt full capacity
someone who prepares the path for the future
This fits very much with what we are doing here: We are convinced that this project is preparing the path for the future
for the transformation of the industry,” says Gilles Le Van
Vice President Large Industries and Energy Transition Central Europe at Air Liquide
technologies and services for industry and health
What makes the ‘Trailblazer’ project unique are two factors: On the one hand
it will be integrated into an existing industrial infrastructure
the partnership with Siemens Energy will help both sides to learn lessons for future projects
We are two partners from France and Germany
and together we can unite our competencies to develop a partnership that aims at decarbonizing industry and mobility
Gilles Le Van at the construction site in Oberhausen: “A trailblazer is a pioneer
This fits very much with what we are doing here.”
distribution and the application of renewable hydrogen all come together in one place
and we will be able to test all three parts at the same time,” says Gilles Le Van
The site is already connected to chemical and steel plants in the region through 200 kilometers of hydrogen and oxygen pipelines
the gas can be directly transported to the point of use of Air Liquide’s customers
better efficiency will help to decrease overall costs
One big challenge is where to source the electricity needed for the water electrolysis technology used in the “Trailblazer” project
because only a hydrogen production powered by renewable energy will eventually result in a reduction of carbon emissions for the customer
the electricity for the 20-megawatt plant will be a mix between mostly wind and potentially solar power
The other challenge lies in the competitiveness of renewable hydrogen: Currently
renewable H2 is more expensive than hydrogen
produced by steam methane reforming using natural gas
Realizing the imperative of decarbonizing its industry sector
idevelop instruments to help bridge the costs for the upcoming years
as Le Van explains: “These operating expense (OpEx) subsidies should compensate the higher production cost of renewable hydrogen compared to conventional hydrogen.”
projects promoting the transformation process are supported by the EU and national governments on the investment part
“Important Projects of Common European Interest” (IPCEI)
supports large hydrogen production projects that contribute – as the program’s name suggests – substantially to the interests of the EU industry and economy
The European Commission has set itself ambitious goals: With the 2030 Climate Target Plan
the Commission aims to raise the EU’s ambition on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to at least 55 percent below 1990 levels by 2030
the European Union wants to be climate-neutral
Yet most regions of the world share the same challenge: The Paris Agreement
set the goal to limit global warming to well below 2
Their shared ultimate goal is to drastically reduce the carbon emissions of transport and industry
in order to reach a climate neutral world by the middle of the century
It is therefore no coincidence that the project in Oberhausen is called ‘Trailblazer’: Air Liquide and Siemens Energy are proving that the transformation is possible
“What we are creating here is what we call an ecosystem,” says Gilles Le Van
we will be able to distribute it to the industry
we will also be able to supply the filling stations to contribute to the reduction of CO2 for the mobility sector
renewable hydrogen is the common base to support decarbonization in different sectors.”

This once-thriving industrial powerhouse is undergoing a political and cultural transformation as the country prepares for federal elections on 24 September
Days away from Germany’s federal elections
one city in west Germany is undergoing something of a political transformation
threatening to shift allegiances in what is being seen as a key test of Angela Merkel’s popularity
On the face of it, the city is an unlikely political weather-vane. Nicknamed “Germany’s Detroit”, Oberhausen in the Ruhr Valley is a place at the tail-end of decades of industrial decline. These days, it is better known for being the former home of Paul the psychic football-loving octopus (of 2010 World Cup fame)
the world’s most prestigious avant garde short film festival
a blow to challenger Schulz in his own home region
The political shift may reflect the changing way Oberhausen residents see their city – less like a landscape in decline, but one to be celebrated and rejuvenated in bold new ways. Since the mid-1990s, residents have increasingly been using abandoned buildings as the launchpad for daring architectural projects, art exhibits and social experiments. The most famous example is the Oberhausen gasometer
installations and a panoramic rooftop viewing platform

a call to arms by 26 young German filmmakers
to establish a “new German feature film” style
The city is famous not for its depictions on screen
but for nurturing and supporting young and experimental filmmakers
The Oscar-winning director Wim Wenders credits the city as being where he smoked his first cigarette: “For years
I saw every single film at the Westdeutsche Kurzfilmtage [as it was then known]
looking forward to those days in Oberhausen every year
for my decision to become a filmmaker,” he once said
Many of the world’s most famous directors showed early works there
the film festival will be touring a selection of its programme in 55 countries
South Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
questions of integration and community have become a central part of the conversation in Oberhausen
with many new projects and initiatives starting up to help welcome new arrivals
Oberhausen’s industrial relics are being seen as sites of opportunity
The city council has been partnering with various groups to reclaim vacant spaces
and there is now a decisive push to try to revitalise the old city centre
which was overlooked in the last decade while Oberhausen focused on building Europe’s largest shopping centre
One of the most exciting collaborations is with kitev, which produces projects by artists in the local local community. In recent years it has focused on ways to engage newcomers to the city, for example, by setting up a popular Refugee Kitchen.
Read moreThe group’s HQ is located in the water tower of Oberhausen’s disused main railway station, which they renovated over seven years, and their next large-scale reclamation is focused on a controversial high-rise building in the centre of Oberhausen
which they hope to renovate in partnership local residents and refugees

Air Liquide and Siemens Energy officially inaugurated their joint venture gigawatt electrolyzer factory today in Berlin
The mass production of electrolyzer components will allow the manufacturing of low-carbon hydrogen at industrial scale and competitive cost
and foster an innovative European ecosystem
The state-of-the-art gigawatt factory will ramp-up to an annual production capacity of three gigawatts by 2025
With two global leading companies in their field combining their expertises
this Franco-German partnership plays a pivotal role in the emergence of a sustainable hydrogen economy needed to forge the energy transition
the new manufacturing site inaugurated today spans over 2,000 square meters
It leverages automation and robotics for the series production of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer modules
The PEM modules offer a high degree of efficiency and are particularly adapted to an intermittent renewable energy supply
Air Liquide and Siemens Energy expect a ramp-up to annual production capacity of three gigawatts by 2025
the assembly of the modules to be implemented in electrolyzer projects can be carried closer to the project sites
contributing further to the cost effectiveness of the solution
The strategic partnership benefits from a portfolio of hydrogen projects combining both Air Liquide and Siemens Energy’s pipelines
targeting large industrial-scale projects worldwide in collaboration with customers
a number of low-carbon and renewable hydrogen projects are already under development
the Air Liquide’s Trailblazer 20 MW large-scale electrolyzer project is reaching completion and aims to accelerate the decarbonization of the Rhine-Ruhr industrial basin
the Air Liquide Normand’Hy 200 MW electrolyzer project is the largest PEM electrolyzer under construction
avoiding the emission of 250,000 tonnes of CO2 per year
Both groups are working on several other large-scale electrolyzer projects
such as Siemens Energy’s ones in Kassø (Denmark) or FlagshipONE (Sweden)
which will provide hydrogen for the synthesis of efuels for shipping
This partnership will benefit from the expertise of both Groups
including Siemens Energy state-of-the-art technology and industrial capacity along with Air Liquide’s mastery of hydrogen along the whole value-chain and capacity to develop innovative custom-made solutions
Both Groups will also continue to dedicate R&D capacities to the co-development of the next generations of electrolyzer technologies
The mass production of industrial scale electrolyzers is essential to making competitive renewable hydrogen a reality
Our joint-venture with Siemens Energy brings the best of our respective expertises together and allows us to offer the most-suited products to the market
This state-of-the art technology will soon be operated at the Trailblazer electrolyzer in Oberhausen
with a major scale up coming for the Normand'Hy electrolyzer project
hydrogen is proving to be a key element of the transition to a low-carbon society
There is no energy transition without green molecules
With today's opening and the start of gigawatt-scale production of electrolyzers
we are launching the next step for the commercialization of this vital technology
Now we need to agree on a viable business model with a balanced risk and reward profile to turn the smallest molecule into a big success story

TEHRAN-Three Iranian short films are competing in the International Competition section of the 70th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen
The Iranian films competing in the International Competition section of the festival are all productions of 2023
including “With Confidentiality” directed by Shervin Vahdat and Payam Azizi
“There is No Friend's House” by Abbas Taheri
The 17-minute flick “With Confidentiality” is a short documentary about a group of women in a village in Iran
who secretly come together despite the danger to their lives to write a complaint letter to the local authorities against their own men
Their clandestine unity and covert movement against widespread addiction among the men lead to a significant police crackdown
“There is No Friend's House,” running for 19 minutes
is a joint production of Iran and France about Sarah and Mehri
who set themselves a perilous challenge in high school
they're also from families with completely opposing views
the 15-minute “Rizoo” shows an eight-year-old girl named Rizoo who lives with her mother and grandmother in Tehran
she has recently moved back from California
her world suddenly becomes very complicated
the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen is a forum for experiments
regardless of genre and production country.
filmmakers from over 40 countries present themselves at the festival
Only international festival premieres are admitted to the competition
A premiere shown in the competition is often a springboard for selection at other festivals - not least for the Oscar
The last time an Iranian film participated in the festival was 60 years ago when “This House Is Black” by Forugh Farrokhzad took part in the 11th edition of the German festival
the 22-minute documentary short film was awarded the grand prize for the documentary category at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen in West Germany
The film is a look at life and suffering in a leper colony and focuses on the human condition and the beauty of creation
It is spliced with Farrokhzad's narration of quotes from the Old Testament
The film features footage from the Bababaghi Hospice leper colony.
Constructed during the 1920s as a holder for gas
the Gasometer Oberhausen was almost torn down in the 1990s as many saw it as a giant eyesore on the German city
and now its 384-foot cylinder space hosts monumental art installations
The first exhibition was held in 1994 and was
it's hosted such installations as Christo's massive inflatable "Big Air Package" in 2013
While its role as an art space is important
the Gasometer represents the peak of technology associated with coal/gas storage
It has the classic shape of a tar sealed gasholder
built into the gasometer would move within a cylinder allowing the volume stored to increase
while maintaining only a small positive pressure
This is controlled by a seal of viscous coal tar between the cylinder and piston
as those that function are almost inclusively tied to furnace complexes
The re-purposing of the area as an art space will ensure that this important relic of coal carbonization is maintained for posterity

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort
has earned his reputation as one of the greats in his sport
has spent a decade and a half travelling the world and defeating a who’s who of mixed martial arts; ‘The Phenom’ holds wins over the likes of Tank Abbott
and he most recently stopped Rich Franklin in just three minutes
Belfort believes he is also the future of the 185lbs middleweight division
and knows victory in Germany will put him in striking distance of becoming only the third man to ever win UFC world titles in two different weight divisions.“It is a joy to go to other parts of the world and fight for fans there,” said Belfort
“I am here to regain my legacy as one of the best fighters in the world
I’ve accomplished so many things in my career
but I am always happy to be in the gym and working on getting better
“The German fans will see a 100% performance from me against Okami
I know Okami is the type of guy who can bang a little and also has that judo style
but I am on a mission to be the UFC Champion once again.”Obe of the most feared fighters in the middleweight division since his UFC debut win over Alan Belcher four years ago
is finally in a position to force his way into title contention
‘Thunder’ already holds victories over Mike Swick
and he knows a win over an icon like Belfort will cement his status at the top contender at 185lbs.“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to fight a great like Vitor Belfort in the main event of a big card,” said Okami
Belfort is a great fighter but I feel I have certain advantages I can use in the fight
I will shock MMA fans around the world with my performance.”Further bouts for UFC 122 will be announced shortly
a new government center is topped by a greenhouse and thoughtfully extends public space
The design team proposed to add another element: a vertical garden to connect the public square with the roof
now leads from the lime tree–lined market square past a series of platforms and various climbing plants (such as chocolate vine and Himalayan clematis)
and up to the rooftop greenhouse and terrace
The structure’s brick facade echoes those in the city
says architect Wilfried Kuehn: “We reveal the brick cladding consciously as a facade instead of giving the impression of being solid
The stacked bond brickwork produces an a-tectonic visual appearance.”
the five-story building still looks pretty solid
with the lightweight greenhouse further evincing its sturdiness
the architects created a “warehouse typology,” with floor-to-ceiling windows
the disparate functions are easily discernible
horizontal lines of galvanized steel run along the brick facade and continue into the metal trellis of the vertical garden staircase and windows
forming a grid that continues into the glass walls of the greenhouse above
The greenhouse, by the way, is not technically public, though you can join regular tours of the building. Rather, it’s run by Oberhausen’s Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technology with the aim to explore possibilities of building-integrated agriculture
workers test and development a wide range of food production technologies: ebb and flow systems
“The greenhouse uses the integration of building services
so that the functions benefit each other,” says Kuehn
the waste heat and CO2 removed from the offices now enhances plant growth in the greenhouse
Rainwater from the roof is used to water the plants
while graywater is partly used for flushing the toilets.”
and not just if they are looking for a job: Some of the greenhouse’s crops can be found six days a week
on sale at the fresh produce market in the Altmarkt just below
