How can the block development in Hamburg's Speicherstadt warehouse district be supplied with C02-neutral energy by 2040? HHLA Real Estate is investigating this question together with several project partners. Among other things, they are jointly researching how the energy required to operate the property can be generated, stored and used in the building itself.
The protection of the World Heritage Site poses a particular challenge. In the pilot project, the Speicherstadt is to become a virtually CO2-neutral district through the development of a holistic energy concept, innovative hybrid roof elements and thermally activated floor slabs made of lean concrete, among other things.
In addition to HHLA Real Estate, the Jülich Research Center, the Institute for Materials in Civil Engineering at the University of Stuttgart, HafenCity University Hamburg, RWTH Aachen University, the Ministry for the Environment and Energy and the Office for the Protection of Historical Monuments of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg are involved in the project. The "0-CO2-WSHH" project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
