The purpose of the Foundation is to promote the protection of the environment and the climate as well as the promotion of science and research.
The purposes will be achieved by measures that serve to promote the production and use of Green Hydrogen and other climate-neutral energy carriers (climate-neutral or defossilised energy carriers) at national and international level, including in developing and newly industrialised countries. Activities shall be carried out and supported which, through scientific, journalistic or other practical activities, through education, consulting and information as well as through anal-yses and studies, promote the improvement of the use of these energy carriers and thus serve the protection of the climate.

The H2Global Knowledge Hub extends and supports the ongoing work of the H2Global Foundation by establishing a knowledge and dialogue platform for the market ramp-up of sustainable hydrogen and its derivatives. Various workshops will be held with stakeholders from business, science, politics, and society on topics such as market environment, supply, logistics and value chains, scaling, infrastructure, standardisation and certification, production, and trade-offs.
Duration: 05.2023 - 12.2025
The research project is dedicated to the question of how sustainable hydrogen partnerships between Africa and Europe can be established in cooperation. The project will look at integrated value chains, local value creation, export opportunities and the use of the H2Global instrument adapted to the needs of the partner countries.
Opportunities and Risks of the International Market Ramp-Up for Developing and Emerging Countries in Cooperation with the Private Sector
Duration: 09.2021 - 05.2023
The project aims to identify the determinants of an equal participation of developing and emerging countries in the international market ramp-up of green hydrogen and PtX products. It focuses on the legal, economic and technical analysis of the newly emerging supply and demand markets, the market position and investment conditions. Concrete recommendations for action for the promotion of cooperation with the private sector are also identified.
The Foundation's work is supported by 54 Donors. The Foundation organizes itself in thematic working groups and meets regularly for Donor’s Conferences to discuss the promotion of the hydrogen market in terms of application-oriented environmental and climate protection.
The Donors have elected a Board of Trustees to control and monitor the Foundation's activities. The Board of Trustees consists of 13 members elected by the Donors and 7 members delegated by the funding bodies. Chairperson of the Board of Trustees is Dr Axel Wietfeld. Deputy Chairperson is Angela Titzrath.
All Donors are united by their commitment to actively contribute to global environmental and climate protection by promoting the production and use of green hydrogen and other climate-neutral energy sources. The H2Global Foundation is always open to new Donors who wish to support its purpose.
