Hydrogen Europe Research
‍‍Hydrogen Europe Research is an international, non–profit association composed of more than 150 Universities and Research & Technology Organisations (RTO) from 29 countries all over Europe and beyond.

Our members are active within the European hydrogen and fuel cells sector. We are a dynamic organisation in great expansion: in 13 years our membership basis and our geographic coverage have doubled!

We welcome new members interested in joining the European research and innovation ecosystem focused on hydrogen. Join us on this journey where research meets industry, and together, we redefine the possibilities of hydrogen for generations to come!

We believe that ambitious research is needed all along the hydrogen value chain. Our vision is to enable the development of mature hydrogen technologies in order to achieve a sustainable and decarbonised fully-integrated energy system.

Our mission is based on 4 pillars:
- Supporting the excellence of European research on hydrogen and fuel cells
- Promoting the development of research & technology infrastructures to scale up and speed up innovation
- Ensuring sustainable development standards for a clean hydrogen ecosystem
- Fostering education and trainings to provide the European hydrogen economy with a skilled workforce

Associazione Italiana Idrogeno  – H2IT
‍H2IT aims to create the political and regulatory conditions for the development of a hydrogen applications market in Italy, as well as to promote its use through public and private participation. On one hand, they want to position themselves as a counterpart for institutions, providing the necessary support for the definition of a clear regulatory framework and raising awareness among the Government and citizens on the importance of hydrogen within a zero-emission energy system. On the other hand, they seek to support member companies in their growth and development towards a hydrogen economy in Italy and in Europe.

Italian Hydrogen Association (H2IT) brings together large, medium, and small enterprises, research centers, universities, technology clusters, and local authorities working in hydrogen in Italy.

It currently has 180 members representing the entire hydrogen value chain, from production to end-use, including companies involved in hydrogen logistics for its transportation, distribution, and storage.

Founded in 2005, H2IT's goals are to stimulate the creation of hydrogen infrastructure and ensure Italy's leadership role in the global market. In recent years, H2IT has become a valuable partner for Italian government on all hydrogen-related issues and has consistently offered its support to ministries in developing regulations and strategies for the sector.

H2IT organizes technical working groups to analyze the barriers hindering the sector's development and to propose legislative and strategic solution to overcome them. H2IT is promoting internationalization activities and is open to discuss with different countries to find opportunities for its members.
