Developments are going on in the fields of
portable, stationary and mobile fuel cells.
Most Technologies (PEMFC, DMFC, SOFC,
MCFC) play a role in R&D work.
Scientific institutes and companies are working in close collaboration.
Several Bundesländer have formed networks
to coordinate their developments.
Market actors in the Eastern Bundesländer
have founded a network “AFG” under the
leadership of co-ordinators and FEE recently.

German Associations for Hydrogen and Fuel
Cells Started to Prepare Roadmap



In recent years several associations for the promotion of
the “hydrogen society” have been formed.
On the initiative of Prof. Garche, ZSW, and the world fuel
cell council all parties met in Ulm on March 26th for the
foundation of an informal platform to define a German
roadmap within the EU Hydrogen networking activities.
AFG took part in most of the working groups for
industrial, home and mobile applications.
Brandenburg has a considerable interest to promote all
biomass related applications (solid, liquid, gaseous).
European programs like EIE, 6FP or PHARE should form
the basis for future cooperation.

market development
 Different projects before or in pilot phase
 Limited range of unique developments for main
components
 Core competence mostly in the US and Canada
 Ready configured FC-appliances
 Regional, national, global market with strong
dynamic
 Annual needs in Germany for reconstruction
400,000 and for new applications 300,000 units,
expected market share 15,000
 Need for stand alone solutions, APU, combinations

Benefits of interrelated own production
 Basic innovation in decentralized energy
production
 Develop core competences in Germany (stack,
reformer, peripheral parts)
 Innovative push by interrelated development of
components
 Cooperative development of SME´s with R&D
institutions
 Customer oriented adapted appliances
 High job creation potential (10 plants one job)
