WindEnergy in Hamburg and Husum Wind in Nordfriesland take place biennially in alternating years. The Hamburg event offers a more international flavor while the trade show held in Husum, famously described as the “gray town on the sea” by poet Theodor Storm, has a more German focus. In October 2022, H2-international asked the exhibition company from the latter about the importance of hydrogen for Husum.
To what extent will hydrogen play a role at Husum Wind in the future?
Due to its primary importance for German industry, the topic of green hydrogen will once again be a particular focus for Husum Wind next year. The trade fair is creating a dedicated platform by providing a separate hydrogen-themed space in Hall 5 for the first time along with an accompanying forum program. It will also offer networking opportunities for leading technology companies in this sector to meet final off-takers.
Will there be a continuation of the previous New Energy fair?
The New Energy fair was held for the last time in 2018 and won’t appear again in this form. Instead there will be the Future Energy & Mobility Days which will run in Husum from March 9 to 12, 2023. It’s the first trade show that will present all cutting-edge technologies from the mobility and energy sectors in one location – from electric scooters to giant agricultural machinery, from wall chargers to photovoltaic plants and micro wind turbines. It’s a chance to pick up and try out the technology of tomorrow. In addition to the large-scale exhibition there will be a program of information and conferences on exciting, forward-looking topics.
What format will the watt_2.0 conference take over the coming years?
Husum Wind and watt_2.0 will continue cooperating in 2023. The H2.0 Conference “Green hydrogen economy in the regions” organized by watt_2.0 will take place as part of Husum Wind on the day prior to the trade fair on September 11, 2023. The “Industry meets Renewables” conference will be held on the first day of the show, and there will be an open expert forum running throughout the four days of the fair.
