In November 2025, experts will once again gather in Frankfurt for the international conference "From Production to Application: The #P2X Conference".
The 31st CIMAC World Congress brought together around 1000 experts from the fields of combustion engines, drive technology and power generation in Zurich.
VDMA Power-to-X for Applications is calling for an EU import strategy for hydrogen and derivatives in order to achieve a resilient, competitive and climate-friendly energy supply.
The amendment to the German Federal Emission Protection Ordinance (4th BImSchV) by the German legislator brings clarity and relief both for the placing on the market of smaller electrolysers below 5 MW and for large-scale plants.
Renewable fuels are a sharp sword against climate change. This is currently being demonstrated by the Tour d' Europe, which is highlighting the decarbonization potential of renewable fuels.
Recently, 37 organizations called for the equal treatment of green hydrogen for use in hydrogen combustion engines. Now an event has taken up the issue.
Green hydrogen can be used to drive vehicles in a climate-neutral way, but tax regulations are hindering the use of the hydrogen combustion engine. 37 organizations are now calling for a remedy.
From Production to Application: THE #P2X CONFERENCE will take place for the fourth time in 2025. Interested parties are now once again invited to submit their abstracts for a possible presentation.
21 associations have now published a call for an early, technology-open review of the regulations for CO2 emission standards in the automotive sector.
The VDMA Power-to-X for Applications has now presented a position paper on the strategic dialog on the future of the automotive industry.
Where can I find VDMA members exhibiting on hydrogen and Power-to-X at the Hannover Messe? The Walking Guide H2 provides a compact answer to this question
VDMA Power-to-X for Applications is the interdisciplinary platform for stakeholders from the P2X industry.
In a joint statement, 17 organizations call for a reality check of the European hydrogen policy
"From Production to Application: The #P2X Conference" is dedicated to practical, technical challenges along the entire value chain of hydrogen and downstream products. The conference has now taken place for the 3rd time.
24 associations are now calling for an early, technology-neutral revision of the regulations for CO2 emission standards.
At an initial public meeting on 3.9.2024 at the VDMA in Frankfurt, almost 50 experts specified the aim and focus of the project and defined working groups. Initial results will be discussed on 8.11.2024. (Update no. 2)
The assessment of the hydrogen ramp-up among German market participants has risen slightly compared to 2023. At the same time, the survey clearly shows that the actual ramp-up is threatening to stall.
Greenhouse gas emissions must also be reduced rapidly in the aviation sector. The SAF working group with over 70 stakeholders has presented a paper on the market ramp-up of SAF.
In 2023, the National Hydrogen Council (NWR) published an initial hydrogen demand analysis, which the body has recently revised.
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy's hydrogen import strategy falls short of expectations. The analysis of the current situation is correct, but concrete new measures and milestones are missing.
To make searching easier, we have listed important downloads from the Power-to-X for Applications area here. Is something missing? Please let us know!
The energy transition can only succeed with synthetic fuels as a partner to renewable energies. However, current EU law stands in the way of importing these resources to Europe.
Result of the trialogue on ReFuelEU Aviation: For the first time, there are binding quotas for renewable fuels in aviation.
Here we are collecting questions and answers about hydrogen. The collection will grow bit by bit. Do you have your own questions? Please feel free to contact us.
There is a lot of discussion about eFuels, especially in connection with the possible ban on combustion technology for passenger cars. What is the current state of affairs?
Within the VDMA, hydrogen is not only of great interest for the VDMA Power-to-X for Applications, but is accompanied by a whole range of areas with diverse activities.
Hydrogen in the drive is a promising option - using a fuel cell, further processed as eFuel or directly in the combustion engine.
The VDMA Fuel Cells Working Group pursues the goal of successfully establishing fuel technologies in Germany and positioning them on global markets.
Sustainable alternative fuels can also help to completely reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping sector.
A climate-neutral future needs energy from renewable sources - and hydrogen. H2 will play a crucial role in meeting global energy needs in a climate-friendly way, for example as the basis for synthetic fuels.
A "Call for Action" was signed by more than 150 organisations and companies at the end of September to accelerate the pace of the Maritime Energy Transition.
Internal combustion engines can already be operated in a completely climate-neutral manner today, opening up considerable potential for rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
By 2040, around 45 percent of vehicles worldwide will be powered purely by electricity or fuel cells. For the mechanical engineering industry, this means opportunities and challenges, which are examined in the third edition of the study "Drivetrain in Transition".
The course has been set: greenhouse gas emissions in international shipping are to be reduced by at least 50 percent by 2050 compared to 2008 - an ambitious target.
Mechanical and plant engineering is ready to supply the appropriate efficient solutions for the coming hydrogen economy.
