Deutscher Wasserstoff und Brennstoffzellen Verband

The Deutscher Wasserstoff-Verband (DWV) e.V. is the German umbrella organization of the hydrogen industry and focuses on building a green hydrogen market economy. The main activities of the DWV include:

• Specialized Commissions and Projects: The DWV operates various cross-industry alliances such as HyMobility, HySteel, HyInfrastructure, and Performing Energy. These commissions work on economic concepts for the implementation of hydrogen technologies in various industries, including the transformation of the steel industry, the development of infrastructure, and the promotion of green hydrogen in energy supply[2][3].

• Political and Regulatory Work: The DWV is heavily engaged in politics, business, and the public to implement and optimize the necessary market, technical, and regulatory framework for the hydrogen economy. This includes the creation of political statements, appeals, fact sheets, and position papers[2][3].

• Information Services and Network: The DWV offers its members exclusive services such as the DWV-Mitteilungen, an event newsletter, and the monthly DWV-News, which provide important information from the hydrogen economy and policy. Members also have access to the results of the association's work and can actively participate in shaping the legal framework[2][3].

The main mission of the DWV is to establish a climate-neutral hydrogen market economy while efficiently achieving climate protection goals, while also ensuring the security of supply and the industrial competitiveness of Germany. The focus is on the sustainable production of hydrogen using renewable energies to ensure a future-proof energy supply[2][3].

The DWV is intensively committed to sustainability and environmental protection:

• Climate-Neutral Energy Supply: The association is working to create the necessary conditions for the comprehensive integration of green hydrogen into the energy supply to achieve climate goals and reduce dependence on fossil energy sources[2][3].

• Cross-Industry Cooperation: Through work in specialized commissions such as HySteel and Performing Energy, the transformation to a climate-neutral steel industry and the development of wind-hydrogen systems are being advanced[2][3].

• Political and Regulatory Support: The DWV supports the creation of a favorable regulatory environment to promote the market ramp-up of green hydrogen and develop the necessary infrastructure[2][3].

Thus, the DWV is a central player in the German hydrogen economy, significantly contributing to the achievement of climate policy goals through its commitment and initiatives.
