The Northern German Living Lab (NRL) aims to demonstrate new paths to climate neutrality: The cross-state collaborative project aims to test the holistic transformation of the energy system and thus demonstrate the path to a rapid defossilization of all consumption sectors.

Behind the Northern German Living Lab is a strong energy transition alliance with experienced partners, innovative approaches and concrete research and testing projects. We work closely networked in nine working groups. The NRL partners are united in their determination to drive the energy transition forward ambitiously and quickly. We have a clear vision that unites us: Climate neutrality – now!

The large-scale approach gives the project a supra-regional model role for electricity- and hydrogen-based sector coupling in Germany and Europe.
