Hamburg in a hydrogen rush: trade fair starts with Greenpeace protest!
Things are getting hot in Hamburg! At the beginning of the first international hydrogen trade fair, “Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe”, Greenpeace activists are drawing attention to themselves. With a courageous protest action, they temporarily turned the exhibition halls into the venue for their message. Four demonstrators acrobatically climbed onto the glass facade and attached a large banner with the urgent message: “CO2 – avoid instead of hiding”. The excitement at the exhibition center is enormous; The focus is on direct discussions about climate protection and the prevention of CO2 emissions.
The hydrogen trade fair, which previously took place in Bremen, has now chosen Hamburg as its new location and promises great growth opportunities. Starting today, around 800 exhibitors from over 100 countries will meet here to present their latest technologies. In the coming days, the trade fair will become a hotspot for innovations in the field of hydrogen, an energy source that is considered the key to a CO2-free future. Jan Rispens, Managing Director of the Renewable Energy Cluster Hamburg, underlines the importance of hydrogen for industry and the transport sector: “Without hydrogen we will not achieve the goal of climate neutrality.”
A watchful step for Hamburg's hydrogen future
Senator for Economic Affairs Melanie Leonhard sees the trade fair as a significant step for Hamburg: “We want to make Hamburg better known worldwide as a hydrogen location.” Big plans have also already been made for the port. The city is planning environmentally friendly hydrogen import terminals and the construction of an electrolyzer to promote sustainable hydrogen production. At the same time, work is underway at Hamburg Airport on the first connection with hydrogen-powered aircraft.
With a large number of around 15,000 trade visitors from all over the world, Hamburg will be in the spotlight in the coming days and underpin its ambitions to become Germany's hydrogen capital. This trade fair will not only attract local companies, but also draw international attention to advances in hydrogen technology.
