SFC Energy AG: Hydrogen energy solutions provide green power at LAUTFEUER Festival

In Lingen an der Ems in north-west Germany, from
12. to
13. July, around 10,000 music and festival enthusiasts are expected to attend the LAUTFEUER Festival.
This year, in addition to the H₂Genset, SFC Energy is providing its latest product innovation, the EFOY H₂PowerPack X50 (“EFOY Hydrogen Power Pack”) for the festival’s green power supply.
The reliable, low-maintenance and emission-free hydrogen energy solutions ensure a large part of the power supply during the entire festival operation.

The EFOY H₂PowerPack X50 plug & play energy solution, which was only officially unveiled in April at HANNOVER MESSE 2024, and the 50 kW hydrogen fuel cell integrated into it ensure that the main stage is powered by electricity.
An additional battery storage unit with a capacity of 422 kWh is installed between the main stage and the EFOY H₂PowerPack X50 and covers peak loads.
The EFOY H₂PowerPack X50 continuously recharges the battery storage system.

The side stage and the after-show party at the LAUTFEUER Festival, including the associated lighting systems and refrigerated containers for supplying drinks, are powered by the H₂Genset mobile emission-free generator.

During the festival, around 2.1 MWh of green electricity will be generated using hydrogen energy solutions from SFC Energy.
The two systems used use hydrogen as an energy source, which was generated using green electricity.

Erik Mersmann, board member of Abifestival seit 1981 e.V., the organizer of the LAUTFEUER Festival: “As festival organizers, we face the exciting task of planning and designing our events anew every year. In doing so, we have to constantly adapt to changing official requirements, our own demands and ideas as well as the expectations of our visitors. This requires innovative approaches and a willingness to break new ground. This year, we have a partner in SFC Energy, whose power generation solutions help us to reduce our environmental impact without compromising on performance. This allows us to create unforgettable experiences and act sustainably at the same time.”

Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG: “We are equipping more and more international (music) festivals with our clean and quiet fuel cell solutions. We are very pleased to be represented again this year at the traditional LAUTFEUER Festival in Lingen. For the first time, our most powerful hydrogen fuel cell solution to date – the EFOY H₂PowerPack X50 – will be used alongside the H₂Genset, which already proved its worth last year. We wish all visitors and dedicated helpers a great festival experience.”

To the LAUTFEUER Festival

Every year, thousands of people gather on the meadow at the old nuclear power plant in Lingen.
The reason is clear: the LAUTFEUER Festival – Umsonst & Draußen, organized on a voluntary basis by the Abifestival e.V. since 1981 and an integral part of the northern German calendar of events for over 40 years.
Around 300 volunteers make it possible for everyone to experience art and culture, regardless of their financial means.
The festival with free admission – probably unique as it is.
