Essen – For a climate-neutral future!

Hydrogen is of great importance for Essen, for achieving climate targets and preserving jobs. The transition to a public hydrogen bus fleet has been started and Essen’s companies are actively shaping the energy transition worldwide in many major projects. A H2 Advisory Board has been established which connects politicians and local H2-player.
