The H2Eco Award, presented at HANNOVER MESSE, celebrates organizations leading the way in advancing the hydrogen economy with groundbreaking projects. The award recognizes pioneers demonstrating the vast potential of a green hydrogen economy through economically viable initiatives that contribute to a sustainable future. A prestigious jury comprising hydrogen experts will nominate three finalists, with the winner announced at the Public Forum Hydrogen + Fuel Cells EUROPE. The 2024 award went to the Bad Lauchstädt Energy Park for a pioneering project involving green hydrogen production from wind energy, large-scale electrolysis, storage in salt caverns, and transportation to a refinery via a converted natural gas pipeline. HANNOVER MESSE, known for showcasing industry solutions, focuses on themes like Smart Manufacturing, Digital Ecosystems, and Energy for Industry. The event also highlights the significance of hydrogen as a green energy carrier. The German Hydrogen Association (DWV) has been instrumental in advocating for a sustainable hydrogen market, fostering innovation, and promoting optimal conditions for a green hydrogen economy.
