hy-fcell 2024 – From Baden-Wuerttemberg to Abu Dhabi

THE LÄND and the H2BW platform will be presenting innovative companies, projects and keynote speeches at the hy-fcell - International Expo & Conference in Stuttgart from 8 - 9 October 2024. Pioneering developments in the field of hydrogen will also be presented in the Speaker's Corner.

Hydrogen makes an important contribution to climate protection and a sustainable energy supply for Baden-Württemberg. At Messe Stuttgart, in Hall 4, Stand F39, colleagues from the platform H2BW and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Environment will spend two days presenting regional, national and international points of contact for hydrogen and fuel cell technology with companies, project partners and the specialists of tomorrow. The platform H2BW and the Fuel Cell Cluster BW will use the international trade fair to discuss developments in Baden-Württemberg with stakeholders from business, politics, science and the public sector.

Political dialogue all the way to Abu Dhabi

Important issues and brand-new trends in hydrogen and fuel cell technology will be presented in a political exchange with Environment Minister Thekla Walker and Economics Minister Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut on the opening day on 8 October 2024.

There will also be a focus on international dialogue: during the presentation on the ‘Automotive BW eco-system’, colleagues from e-mobil BW will also take advantage of a meeting of the Sector Group Automotive, Transportation & Mobility (SG ATM) of the European Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) at hy-fcell.

International contacts will also be made via a tour of the trade fair with the Chief Green Hydrogen Officer of Masdar, Abdelqader El-Ramahi, in Abu Dhabi. The emirate offers important opportunities in terms of green hydrogen.

Focus on H2 expertise and qualification

Participating projects & partners:

• H2iPortKAMod: Development of a model for setting up an H2 infrastructure at Karlsruhe's Rhine harbour that takes into account the local conditions and the needs of the relevant companies and stakeholders based there.
• H2TwinTest: Development and testing of a combined, hybrid (hardware and software) multifunction test bench for complete FC drive systems from 500kW to 1MW.
• HyFlex: Development of a production system for the flexible manufacture of hydrogen membrane components. Innovative process for a higher production speed.
• ModuSkaBZ: Development and testing of a modular and scalable testing system for FC stacks.
• HydrogREnBoost: Development of a network booster concept based on green hydrogen to increase network stability.
• Hy.Teck: Establishment of green hydrogen production for industry and mobility applications in Weilheim an der Teck with a new H2 refuelling station, electrolysis plant and filling station.
• Modularer Wärmetauscher für SOFC/SOEC, Development, validation and industrialisation of a modular gas generator for stationary fuel cells.
• H2-Genesis: As part of the ‘H2-GeNeSiS’ model region, a hydrogen pipeline is being built along the Neckar between Stuttgart harbour and Esslingen. This forms the basis for a green hydrogen economy in the Stuttgart region. It will act as a distribution network for hydrogen.
• Plattform Greentech BW: The aim is to accelerate the national and international implementation of GreenTech projects and to make BW a leading market and provider of green technologies in the long term.
• Cluster Brennstoffzelle BW:  Promotes a wide range of activities for the further development of hydrogen and fuel cell technology in Baden-Württemberg.
