Events

Is it all coming together?

-

This year, for the first time, the Hydrogen Dialogue, with its ­conference and forum on the trade fair floor, was part of The Smarter E, the energy transition trade fair. Are electricity and ­hydrogen now coming together?

Hydrogen imports

Fast projects, slow politics

-

Project developers in the MENA region are ready to scale up green hydrogen. Cornelius Matthes (DII Desert Energy) and Laurent Antony (IPHE) agree that EU regulations are now the main challenge – but disagree on most details.

With great commitment, scientist Martin Kaltschmitt conveys his findings to the audience.
H2 after the hype

“There’s no way forward without green molecules.”

-

After years of high expectations for hydrogen, experts at the Hamburg congress “EnergieZukunftWasserstoff” (Energy future hydrogen) called for a reassessment of the technology. Specialists from engineering, ­industry, politics and law agreed that hydrogen remains indispensable
for a climate-neutral energy system.

The figure illustrates the relationship between categorized risk drivers and the risks.
Market barriers

It’s the risk, stupid!

-

The biggest obstacles to hydrogen are not technical – they are ­economic and regulatory in nature. That is the finding of a ­Capgemini study commissioned by BDEW, Germany’s energy and water industry association: too many projects are stalling ­because investment conditions remain too risky.

A dedicated exhibition area on the topic of hydrogen was already part of The Smarter E in 2025, when it was called the Green Hydrogen Forum
Hydrogen Dialogue

A new home in Munich

-

Hydrogen Dialogue is relocating from Nuremberg to Munich and will, for the first time this year, be part of the energy trade fair The Smarter E. Fabian Pfaffenberger from the Hydrogen Center Bavaria (H2.B) explains what this means for guests interested in hydrogen.

Hydrogen regions

Northern Finland makes its pitch

-

Few places in Europe offer better conditions for hydrogen production than Finland’s North. Now the region is making its case to investors.
