The English-language conference, exhibition and matchmaking programme covered:
- hydrogen production and electrolysis;
- refuelling-station networks;
- fuel-cell manufacturing;
- liquid-hydrogen storage and distribution;
- synthetic fuels and e-fuels;
- industrial hydrogen applications;
- trucks, aviation and construction vehicles;
- stationary and self-sufficient energy systems;
- development of viable hydrogen business cases;
- cooperation between European and African hydrogen markets.
More than 80 speakers contributed to the conference programme.
Main results
The event linked technological development with the practical requirements of end users and infrastructure providers. Its programme showed that market deployment depended not only on technology performance but also on distribution infrastructure, production scale, suitable applications and credible business models.
The 2024 hy-fcell Awards recognised innovations including:
- scalable fuel-cell technology developed by CellForm;
- H2FLY’s research and development in hydrogen-powered aviation;
- WS Reformer’s decentralised ammonia-cracking solution for producing hydrogen without direct pipeline access.
Practical value
For regional planners and project developers, the event provided examples of how hydrogen solutions could be matched with specific industrial, mobility and stationary-energy applications. It also highlighted the need to assess the complete supply chain before investing in individual technologies.
