The Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) has expanded its network with two members. Hydrosonic and Maximator Hydrogen have joined the initiative. The CEP announced this on November 13, 2026, in Berlin. Both companies specialize in specific areas of hydrogen refueling infrastructure.
Hydrosonic develops measurement systems for mobile and stationary hydrogen dispensing systems. According to the company, it also offers services in conformity assessment, calibration, and maintenance. Maximator Hydrogen specializes in modular hydrogen refueling stations. According to the company, the portfolio ranges from compression to storage to dispensing. This also includes solutions for filling hydrogen trailers.
Focus on measurement technology and modular refueling stations
“We are pleased to welcome Hydrosonic and Maximator Hydrogen to the CEP. Both companies bring valuable technical expertise to our network, thereby strengthening our joint efforts towards an efficient and economical hydrogen infrastructure,” says Marcus Merkel, Executive Director of the Clean Energy Partnership. Together, they aim to further develop technical standards and regulatory frameworks that facilitate everyday use and make investments more predictable, Merkel says.
Thomas Steuer, Founder and Managing Director of Hydrosonic Technology & Metering, emphasizes the importance of precise measurement in hydrogen dispensing: “In hydrogen dispensing, it is not only the available quantity that counts but also that it is recorded accurately and transparently. This creates a reliable basis for billing and strengthens trust between operators and customers.” In the CEP, Hydrosonic aims to contribute practical insights from measurement and calibration to ensure that technical requirements and their implementation align, Steuer says.
Focus on heavy-duty transport
Mathias Kurras, Chief Technology Officer of Maximator Hydrogen, highlights the importance of modular concepts for heavy-duty transport: “Especially with the requirements in heavy-duty transport, the hydrogen infrastructure must keep pace with specific usage profiles and increasing demands. Modular refueling station concepts offer flexibility here.” In the CEP, the company aims to contribute experiences from planning and construction and help shape the technical and regulatory frameworks for market ramp-up, Kurras says.
According to its own description, the Clean Energy Partnership sees itself as an expert panel for hydrogen mobility in Germany and Europe. As a cross-industry forum, the CEP works on the development and implementation of international norms and standards. According to the initiative, the goal is to make the use of hydrogen in mobility more efficient, safer, and more cost-effective.
