Announcements
On June 23, 2025 and July 10, 2025, two events of the transformation hub cH2ance will focus on hydrogen mobility.The cH2ance webinar on June 23, 2025, 14:30-16:00 is dedicated to the topic of “Fleet operation in the context of economic efficiency and regulation”.On July 10, 2025, cH2ance invites you to the 5th innovation round from 09:00 to 14:30 in Münster to experience the potential of hydrogen mobility live.
The Federal Ministry of Finance's current draft budget increases the chances of promoting alternative drive systems - especially hydrogen - to a greater extent. This is crucial in order to make technologies competitive and achieve climate targets.
The Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) and the German Hydrogen Association (DWV) are intensifying their strategic cooperation to promote hydrogen mobility in Germany and Europe. This cooperation combines the technical expertise of the CEP with the political clout of the DWV to enable innovations in the field of hydrogen.
Based on the results of the completed PRHYDE project, a CEP working group is focusing on improving the reliability, stability and efficiency of refueling processes.

Berlin, 19.5.2025 | In the course of the energy transition, hydrogen is becoming increasingly important as an energy source. With the expansion of the hydrogen infrastructure, the need for specialized specialists is also increasing.
Berlin, 06.05.2025 | The Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) has reached another important milestone: As a pioneer for hydrogen mobility, the CEP has continuously driven forward the standardization of acceptance protocols for hydrogen refuelling stations and has now successfully handed over the associated acceptance process for refuelling station tests outside Germany into the hands of independent testing institutions. This step marks significant progress for the scaling of the hydrogen filling station infrastructure in Europe.
Why standards are crucial - especially in hydrogen mobilityStandardization is not an end in itself - it is a driver of innovation.
Clearly defined norms, procedures and test standards create safety, reduce costs and facilitate the market launch of new technologies.
Technical differentiation problems at filling stations
At hydrogen filling stations, it is currently not possible to make a technical distinction between fuel cell and combustion vehicles. This leads to uncertainties under tax law, as both vehicle types are taxed differently. In some cases, filling station operators react by banning hydrogen burners from general terms and conditions, but this is not a sustainable solution.
Berlin, 16. April 2025 | The Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) has reached another important milestone: as a pioneer for hydrogen mobility, the CEP has continuously driven forward the standardisation of acceptance protocols for hydrogen refuelling stations and has now successfully handed over the associated acceptance process also for refuelling station tests outside Germany to independent testing institutions. This step marks significant progress for the scaling of the hydrogen refuelling station infrastructure in Europe.
The development of a practicable verification process for the 70% greenhouse gas reduction quota for RFNBO hydrogen (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) is a key challenge for the hydrogen economy. The aim is to define standard values for transport, electricity consumption and emissions in order to simplify and standardize the verification of GHG savings.
Reorganization as a registered association with a new board, new members and ambitious goals for sustainable mobility with hydrogen
Berlin, 31.01.2024. The CEP is facing an exciting year: As part of its reorganization as an association, Europe's largest hydrogen mobility project is presenting itself with a new board of directors: Under the leadership of Elena Hof (JET H2 Energy), Paul Karzel (LIFTE H2) and Jörg Starr (GP Joule), the former private partnership is entering a new phase that will pave the way for the further ramp-up of hydrogen mobility and hydrogen infrastructure in Germany.
