The “Hydrogen Initiative Münster” (WIM) was founded in 2020. The founders were equally fascinated by the topic of hydrogen. This gave rise to the idea of setting up the hydrogen initiative for Münster and the Münsterland. We organized a first round of experts, in which experts gave lectures on the subject of hydrogen.
The German Hydrogen and Fuel-Cell Association (DWV) is the umbrella organisation promoting hydrogen and fuel-cell technology in Germany.

HyCologne - Hydrogen Region Rheinland e.V. connects more than 50 players from politics, industry and research. What they all have in common is the conviction that hydrogen is an indispensable energy source for achieving climate protection goals. Since 2007, the network has been pooling its diverse competencies in order to massively improve the marketability and profitability of hydrogen technology in the Rhenish region and to initiate large-scale projects. We rely on by-product hydrogen from the chemical industry as a transfer solution until green hydrogen is economically available in sufficient quantities.
The State of Bavaria has founded the Hydrogen Center Bavaria (H2.B) to consolidate and expand the strong position of the Bavarian industry in the important future field of the hydrogen economy.
