About the Project
The Munich Security Conference brings together heads of state, ministers, defence leaders and global decision makers to address issues that shape international stability. In an environment where discussions influence global policy and security, uninterrupted power is essential. Any loss of electricity would risk disrupting live broadcasts, secure communications and critical conference operations.
Working alongside Siemens Energy, GeoPura deployed a green hydrogen-fuelled HPU-M™ at the Rosewood Munich in Salvatorplatz to reinforce site resilience. The unit connected directly to the hotel’s distribution board and stood ready to take over instantly in the event of a grid outage. This ensured continuous power to conference suites, ballrooms and live streaming infrastructure throughout the event.
As geopolitical uncertainty, energy market volatility, and infrastructure risks continue to increase, organisations must strengthen local resilience as well as national supply. The HPU™ provided on-site energy independence, reducing reliance on conventional diesel generators while delivering zero carbon emissions and zero harmful air pollutants at the point of use.
By integrating clean hydrogen backup power into a high-consequence, high-visibility setting, GeoPura and Siemens Energy demonstrated that operational resilience and sustainability can work together. The project reinforced the importance of secure, scalable and low-carbon power solutions in protecting critical infrastructure.
