Alaa Alhamwi (Arabic: علاء الحموي) (born. 17. April 1984:[1] in Damaskus) is a German politician (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen).[2] and, together with Greta Garlichs, has been chairman of the Alliance Bündnis 90/Die Grünen Niedersachsen.[3] In his work as a local politician in Oldenburg City Council, he is the Chairman of the Environment Committe. He is elected by the city council as an EU local councillor.
His life
editAlaa Alhamwi was born on 17. April 1984[4] in Damaskus, Syrien. He is married and has two children. Alhamwi left Syria in 2011 to study for a master's degree in renewable energies and moved to Cairo. He came to Germany in 2012 to complete his master's degree. Since then, he has lived and worked in Oldenburg (Oldb). He is also a hobby beekeeper.
Studies Profession
editIn 2003, he began his bachelor's degree in mechanical and energy engineering at the University of Aleppo. He interrupted his Master's degree in Aeronautics in 2011 to pursue a double Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency for the Middle East and North Africa(REMENA[5]) at the University of Cairo in Egypt and the University of Kassel with the support of a scholarship from the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service). After successfully completing his master's thesis, Alhamwi worked for the German Aerospace Center as a research assistant in the field of energy system analysis. He then completed his doctorate in the field of urban energy systems at DLR and the University of Oldenburg. He received his doctorate in engineering (Dr.-Ing.) from the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg in 2018. In his doctoral thesis, he dealt with the optimization of urban energy systems using geographic information systems (GIS) and open source data. As part of his doctorate, Alhamwi developed the FlexiGIS model. FlexiGIS[6]is an open-source GIS-based model for modeling energy systems and flexibility options in urban areas. In addition to his political activities, he works part-time as a postdoc for the German Aerospace Center and conducts research in the field of energy system analysis with a focus on the integration of green hydrogen in urban energy systems.
Politics
editIn 2014, Alhamwi joined the Alliance 90/The Greens party in Oldenburg. As part of his doctoral scholarship[7] from the Heinrich Böll Foundation, he campaigned for the foundation's ideal funding and was involved in various committees of the foundation. Alhamwi has been involved in local politics on a voluntary basis since 2021 and stood as a candidate for Oldenburg City Counci[8]. He won the direct mandate in his electoral area and sits for his party on the city council in the committees: Urban Greenery, Environment and Climate as Chairman and in Economic Development, Digitization and International Cooperation. In addition, he was delegated to the EU Commission Partnership "Europe starts in the community" by the City Council and EU Community Council[9].Alhamwi is a board member of the Europa-Union/European Federalists Oldenburg, a non-partisan and independent European citizens' movement. He also sits on the supervisory board of the Technology and Start-up Center Oldenburg (TGO) for his party.
In 2023, he ran for the state chairmanship of the Greens in Lower Saxony and won the election.[10] This makes him the first chairman of the Greens in Lower Saxony with a history of migration.[11] Alhamwi criticizes what he sees as the excessive expansion of LNG terminals in Germany and calls for a common integrated European energy policy. He advocates the use and promotion of geothermal energy[12] and waste heat in conjunction with heat pumps.Alhamwi is politically and scientifically committed to the development of green hydrogen..
