In Germany, Mercedes-Benz Cars has eight vehicle and powertrain plants (Bremen, Rastatt, Sindelfingen, Berlin, Hamburg, Kamenz, Kölleda, Stuttgart-Untertürkheim), which either purchase electricity or operate their own power plants. However, today’s production grids are powered by alternating current—which has to be converted.

Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods.
