Hydrogen und Fuel Cells on the Hannover Fair 2001
Bigger, more, more global, more comprehensive

The two joint presentations on hydrogen technology and fuel cells on the Hannover Fair 2001 (23. to 28. April 2001) are already the greatest of this kind in the world, and they will exceed their predecessors of the last six years in every respect.

  • More space: The exhibition area altogether is 1600 m2, about twice the size of the last fair.
  • More numerous: At this time 52 exhibitors have booked (2000: 32), there are negotiations with a few more.
  • More global: The exhibitors come from seven countries plus Germany, ten from the USA or Canada. For most of these this is the only presence of this kind outside North America.
  • More comprehensive: Apart from the developers and the stack producers more and more supplier and applicant companies are present, so that the whole field is on display.
The presentation will be given in halls 18 and 13. The center of interest in hall 18 are research and development; here you meet universities, other research institutes, and companies which show you how the future will look like. Presence and immediate future are the main item in hall 13, because the motto there are products and services available now or very soon. The explosive growth of this part of the presentation is a clear indication that hydrogen and fuel cells are indeed very close to market entry: the exhibition size in hall 13 is almost four times that of the last time.

A common element of both parts is the Forum where exhibitors and other experts comment their own work and current matters interesting for the field.

By the way: the German Hydrogen Association, participant to the joint presentations from its beginning, will be present in both halls.
