H2 National Summit

Updating the National Hydrogen Strategy

Green and blue hydrogen

Strong, sustainable domestic hydrogen production and use – a “domestic market” – is essential for the market ramp-up of hydrogen technologies and their export. The NWS update assumes an annual hydrogen demand of 95 to 130 TWh in Germany.

The meeting

Top-class managers

…from industry, energy companies and the financial sector will meet with representatives from politics and science at the H2 National Summit.

First Mayor

Dr. Peter Tschentscher

Patron of the H2 National Summit

Meeting place for the hydrogen industry

Well-founded presentations are discussed in a small setting by a maximum of 150 C-level representatives from business, science and politics, providing important impetus for the further development of the hydrogen economy.

Hotel Hafen Hamburg

With its unique architecture and breathtaking harbor view, the Elbkuppel is one of the most beautiful air-conditioned rooms, which also offers the perfect setting for exclusive congresses. And all this with Hanseatic flair.

Sailing ship Atlantis

The 57 meter long Atlantis with its 14 sails and 750 m² sail area is a real eye-catcher in any port. Built in 1905 as the lightship Elbe 2, she has been extensively restored and transformed into an elegant tall ship for passenger cruises. Her spacious saloon provides the perfect atmosphere for our harbor birthday dinner when the weather does not permit outdoor dining. Refreshing or warm drinks are always available at the bar – for all-round perfect moments on board.
