By means of electrolysis
the generated electricity is split into hydrogen and oxygen.
Hydrogen is stored in the hydrogen bank; two tanks, together good for 200 kilograms of storage.

The fuel cell uses hydrogen
electricity and heat. The little bit of water that
as a residual product is released
for example, watering the grounds.
The emergency power supply consists of a battery (UPS) and emergency power generator (NSA). The battery is being filled with green energy and supplies lectricity to functions in it
hospital that should never fail.
Also the electricity for the
heat pumps for the temperature in the building is supplied by green energy.
