Our Hydrogen Future

[DWIH Coffee Talk #5: Our Hydrogen Future]

Hydrogen promises to be the energy source of the future. Its supply is abundant, its use is clean, sustainable, and energy-efficient. Germany and Japan have emerged as leaders in hydrogen technology, and hydrogen made with renewable electricity plays a central role in both countries’ goals of achieving net zero emissions.

The DWIH Coffee Talk #5 took a close look at Germany’s and Japan’s national hydrogen strategies and at current hydrogen energy projects in both countries. Moderator Axel Karpenstein (DAAD Research and Studies) was in conversation with Prof. Dr. Christian Sattler (German Aerospace Center (DLR) / TU Dresden) and Prof. Dr. Tatsuya Kodama (Niigata University), together they examined the promises and challenges of a hydrogen-based future and opportunities for German-Japanese research and development collaboration.
