HANNOVER FAIR 2001 (23 - 28 April)

Worldwide largest Hydrogen and Fuel Cell exhibition at HANNOVER FAIR 2001

Whether mobile as drive system in cars, portable as electricity supplier for cellular phones or in stationary systems combined with fuel cells for electricity generation and heat supply:
Hydrogen is the carrier of energy of the future.

The worldwide largest exhibition on Hydrogen and Fuel Cells is going to take place at HANNOVER FAIR 2001.

From 23. to 28. April more than 60 companies and research institutions from eight countries are going to display their latest developments.

Trade professionals from all over the globe will find here information about the latest research and development results, Products and Services for Hydrogen Technologies and Fuel Cell systems.

Here at the HANNOVER FAIR 2001 the value-added chain of this future technology on its way to commercialization will be realized at a glance.

Vehicle manufacturers and their system partners such as DaimlerChrysler, XCELLSiS, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge, ZeTek and Proton Motor present their developments for the application of hydrogen for non-pollution vehicle.

Electrolysers, which split water in hydrogen and oxygen, will present by leading elektrolyser manufacturer like Norsk Hydro, Hydrogen Systems, HbT and Stuart Energy Systems.

Global Players of the Chemical Industry (Celanese, DuPont, W.L. Gore) prove their competence in manufacturing of key components for the mass production of fuel cells.

At the stock market quoted fuel cell companies such as Ballard Power Systems, H Power and DCH Technology present ready for the market products: The field of applications for fuel cells reachs from the supply of laptops to large combined heat and power stations. Companies like Hamburg Gas Consult and Plug Power inform about the use of hydrogen as fuel for emission-free heating systems and power generations in the household.

Prominent European research establishments point out their perspectives of the technology and inform how to intensify and expand the use of the non-pollution hydrogen in fuel cell technology.

How the market is developing dynamically, shows the success of the Group Exhibits "Hydrogen + Fuel Cell" at HANNOVER FAIR since 1995:
In comparison to the previous year organizer Arno A. Evers FAIR-PR succeeded in winning more than 60 exhibitors twice as many enterprises as in the year 2000. With 1800 square meters in both Hall 18 (Research and Technology) and Hall 13 (Energy) even the threefold area is being used by the attending exhibitors.

The Group Exhibits on Hydrogen and Fuel Cells are worldwide the only place where this topics are represented so globally and in such a size. For the first time leading North American companies are represented in Europe. More than 14 enterprises from the USA and Canada will attend.
