Elena Hof speaks at the 6th Hydrogen Engine Conference in Karlsruhe: In her presentation “From individual funding to systemic funding” on September 18, Elena Hof will shed light on how sustainable hydrogen funding can be designed.

The Federal Ministry of Finance’s current draft budget increases the chances of promoting alternative drive systems – especially hydrogen – more strongly. This is crucial in order to make technologies competitive and achieve climate targets.
The Clean Energy Partnership e.V. (CEP) has presented clear recommendations in this regard:

✅ Two-pillar approach: infrastructure and vehicles must be promoted together, flanked by a stable GHG quota.
Location-loyal fleets: filling station tenders should be linked to vehicle tenders (e.g. SWIM in the Netherlands).
✅ Predictability through early funding announcements: An “H2 calls calendar” with a lead time of 1-2 years is essential.
