The prospects for hydrogen technologies are promising, particularly with regard to the transformation to a sustainable and low-carbon economy. Hydrogen has the potential to act as an energy carrier and storage medium in various sectors and is a key to a carbon-neutral economy. The expansion of hydrogen production and infrastructure is one of the biggest challenges. This includes the development of hydrogen pipelines, storage technologies and filling stations.

Hydrogen technologies provide solutions for the further expansion of a renewable energy supply, for climate-neutral industrial processes and for sustainable mobility. Hydrogen is increasingly being considered as an option for heavy goods transport (trucks, buses, trains, ships) and air traffic, as it has a high energy density and can be refueled more quickly than battery-powered vehicles. It could play an important role here, particularly in long-distance transportation and in areas where a long range is required.

With our 3rd Hydrogen Symposium on June 26 and 27, 2025, we would like to inform you about the challenges associated with the development of the hydrogen economy and the use of this energy carrier. As part of the “3rd Dresden Hydrogen Symposium”, we would like to discuss this with you and look for solutions together. 

Thematic priorities:

• Hydrogen - energy source of the future
• Political and economic framework conditions
• Challenges: Costs and scaling, efficiency of conversion and storage, acceptance and regulation
• Hydrogen production through electrolysis and other processes
• Technological innovations: Electrolysis technologies, fuel cells
• Hydrogen networks and infrastructure: hydrogen pipelines, power-to-X technology
• International markets for hydrogen
• Hydrogen as a fuel for mobility
• Use of hydrogen technologies in energy systems
• Use of hydrogen technologies in industry
• Use of hydrogen technologies in mobility and transportation
• H2 combustion engines and emissions
• LH2 tank and refueling systems for ships and trucks
• Possible applications and limits for ammonia and methanol
• Fuel cell technologies
• Safety requirements and monitoring options (sensors, etc.)
