ZBT Hydrogen Days – The technology forum for business and science

The new conference format ‘ZBT Hydrogen Days’ took place for the first time in February 2025. It follows in the tradition of the AiF Fuel Cell Alliance and accordingly focuses on the technology. Due to the great response and positive feedback, there will be another edition of the Hydrogen Days in February 2026.

No talk of ‘could have, would have, should have’ – the ZBT Hydrogen Days in Duisburg are all about technology and getting things done. What’s new? How does it all fit together? How can we work together to create something new, better and bigger? This is precisely why developers, researchers and H2 tech aficionados are coming together at the Hydrogen Days in Duisburg.

This technology forum for business and science focuses on the exchange of technical innovations and networking.

Bringing people together

‘We want to bring together people who are enthusiastic about developing solutions for our clean energy system of the future,’ says ZBT Managing Director Dr Peter Beckhaus, describing the motivation behind the conference format, which is based on the tradition of the former AiF Fuel Cell Alliance. ‘We want to showcase innovations from companies and application-oriented research – from small details with a big impact to complex overall systems.’


The Hydrogen Days bring together people from the research and development departments of large, medium-sized and small companies as well as start-ups with scientists from application-oriented research – people who are themselves working on innovative hydrogen technologies. ‘And of course, we won’t turn anyone away who doesn’t have an R&D background,’ promises Beckhaus. ‘Our main aim with the ZBT Hydrogen Days is to increase momentum in the hydrogen sector.’
