Here you will find an updated overview of the progress of the project after the third face-to-face meeting on 12.03.202 (update no. 4).
In November 2025, experts will once again gather in Frankfurt for the international conference "From Production to Application: The #P2X Conference". A first program is already online.
VDMA Power-to-X for Applications is calling for an EU import strategy for hydrogen and derivatives in order to achieve a resilient, competitive and climate-friendly energy supply.
Leading industry associations are urging the rapid implementation of hybrid offshore connections for the production of hydrogen.
The amendment to the German Federal Emission Protection Ordinance (4th BImSchV) by the German legislator brings clarity and relief both for the placing on the market of smaller electrolysers below 5 MW and for large-scale plants.
Renewable fuels are a sharp sword against climate change. This is currently being demonstrated by the Tour d' Europe, which is highlighting the decarbonization potential of renewable fuels.
Green hydrogen can be used to drive vehicles in a climate-neutral way, but tax regulations are hindering the use of the hydrogen combustion engine. 37 organizations are now calling for a remedy.
From Production to Application: THE #P2X CONFERENCE will take place for the fourth time in 2025. Interested parties are now once again invited to submit their abstracts for a possible presentation.
After the second face-to-face meeting on 8.11.2024 and numerous further online meetings of the 7 sub-working groups, the first drafts and H2 requirements lists are available. (update no. 3)
21 associations have now published a call for an early, technology-open review of the regulations for CO2 emission standards in the automotive sector.
Where can I find VDMA members exhibiting on hydrogen and Power-to-X at the Hannover Messe? The Walking Guide H2 provides a compact answer to this question
VDMA Power-to-X for Applications is the interdisciplinary platform for stakeholders from the P2X industry.
In a joint statement, 17 organizations call for a reality check of the European hydrogen policy
In January 2025, the EU Commission presented its report "The net-zero manufacturing industry landscape across the Member States". It documents the current state of affairs.
VDMA Power-to-X for Applications can look back on an eventful 2024 and has big plans for 2025.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was enacted in 2022. Now the previously missing definitions for "clean" hydrogen have also been added.
"From Production to Application: The #P2X Conference" is dedicated to practical, technical challenges along the entire value chain of hydrogen and downstream products. The conference has now taken place for the 3rd time.
At an initial public meeting on 3.9.2024 at the VDMA in Frankfurt, almost 50 experts specified the aim and focus of the project and defined working groups. Initial results will be discussed on 8.11.2024. (Update no. 2)
The assessment of the hydrogen ramp-up among German market participants has risen slightly compared to 2023. At the same time, the survey clearly shows that the actual ramp-up is threatening to stall.
Greenhouse gas emissions must also be reduced rapidly in the aviation sector. The SAF working group with over 70 stakeholders has presented a paper on the market ramp-up of SAF.
The co-located Hydrogen Technology Expo and Carbon Technology Expo trade fairs will present the latest technologies and solutions in the field of hydrogen and CCUS from 23 - 24 October. The VDMA will be represented in Hamburg with its own stand.
The German government's planned funding cuts in climate financing are the wrong signal, especially for the planned development of a hydrogen economy.
The advantages of OPC UA should also be available for electrolysers in the future. A working group with members from VDMA and the OPC Foundation is now working on this.
In 2023, the National Hydrogen Council (NWR) published an initial hydrogen demand analysis, which the body has recently revised.
In a first pre-kickoff meeting (26.6.2024 at VDMA Frankfurt) the aim and direction of the approval guideline were discussed with 40 interested parties. Next date 3.9.2024.
The advantages of OPC UA should also be available for electrolysers in the future.
The energy transition can only succeed with synthetic fuels as a partner to renewable energies. However, current EU law stands in the way of importing these resources to Europe.
In order to achieve the predicted political goals in the field of hydrogen, the "robotics and automation" sector will become a decisive player for the necessary scaling of hydrogen production capacities.
Electrolysis systems play a crucial role in the hydrogen economy
