ZBT-Wasserstofftage (Hydrogen Days) – The technology forum for industry and science

The new conference format ‘ZBT-Wasserstofftage’ follows in the tradition of the AiF Fuel Cell Alliance events and accordingly focuses on the technology.

No talk of ‘could,’ ‘should,’ or ‘would’ – the ZBT-Wasserstofftage (Hydrogen Days) in Duisburg, Germany 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.

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

Bringing people together

“We want to bring together people who are enthusiastically developing solutions for our clean energy system of the future,” says ZBT Managing Director Peter Beckhaus (pictured), describing the motivation behind the conference format, which is set up in the tradition of the former AiF Fuel Cell Alliance events. “We want to make the innovations from companies and application-oriented research visible – 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.’

Event tip:
HeavyDuty Congress

The decarbonization of heavy goods transport is a central element of the energy transition. The development of functioning hydrogen mobility requires close interaction between vehicle development, component and system technology, infrastructure and political and economic framework conditions.

At the annual HeavyDuty Congress in Duisburg, experts meet to exchange information and ideas about fuel cell and other hydrogen drives in road and rail freight transport, construction machinery, refuse collection vehicles, road sweepers and buses.
