Hydrogen Technology World Expo 2026, Hamburg, Germany
Overview
The Hydrogen Technology World Expo 2026 is the premier global event dedicated exclusively to advanced technologies for the hydrogen and fuel cell industry. Returning to Hamburg, a major European hub for energy and maritime innovation, the expo brings together the entire hydrogen value chain. The event focuses on the commercialization of hydrogen as a mainstream energy source, showcasing solutions for low-carbon production, high-efficiency storage, and distribution for both mobile and stationary applications.
Spanning several halls at the Hamburg Messe, the event is co-located with the Carbon Capture Technology World Expo, creating a comprehensive platform for discussing the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors. With over 1,000 exhibitors and 20,000 attendees expected, it serves as a massive technical marketplace where engineers, scientists, and decision-makers meet to source materials, manufacturing equipment, and infrastructure systems.
Event Highlights
- World’s Largest Technical Hydrogen Conference: A massive three-day program featuring 6–7 parallel tracks and over 300 international speakers sharing technical breakthroughs and engineering solutions.
- Hydrogen in Action Showcase: Located in Hall B6, this zone features a live automobile showcase and demonstrations of how hydrogen is transforming mobility and heavy power generation.
- Co-Location with Carbon Capture: Immediate access to the Carbon Capture Technology Expo, focusing on CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) and its role in blue hydrogen production.
- Ammonia & Sustainable Fuels Zone: A dedicated area in Hall B2 exploring the scaling of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier and fuel for carbon-neutral maritime and power applications.
- Networking App & Matchmaking: A powerful digital tool for attendees to schedule 1:1 meetings, manage their session calendar, and connect with global solution providers.
Why Attend
For professionals in the energy, automotive, and heavy industry sectors, this expo is the ultimate destination to see “execution over ambition.” It provides a hands-on look at real-world hardware—from PEM and alkaline electrolyzers to high-pressure storage vessels and fuel cell stacks. Attendees gain a competitive edge by learning about the latest in ISO standards for hydrogen, risk management for H2 infrastructure, and the techno-economics of scaling green hydrogen projects.

FAQ's
Is the exhibition really free to attend?
Yes, entrance to the main exhibition floor, featuring over 1,000 suppliers, is free of charge for trade professionals who register online in advance. This free pass allows you to visit all exhibitor booths and the "Hydrogen in Action" zones, but it does not include access to the formal conference sessions or delegate lunches.
What is the difference between the Hydrogen Technology Expo and the World Hydrogen Summit?
The Hydrogen Technology Expo (Hamburg) is primarily a technical and engineering-focused trade fair and conference. It focuses on the hardware, components, and materials (like membranes and valves). The World Hydrogen Summit (often held in Rotterdam) tends to be more policy and finance-focused. If you are looking for engineering solutions, the Hamburg event is the superior choice.
Will I receive the conference materials if I attend?
Full conference delegates receive the comprehensive conference proceedings (slidedecks and papers) from all 6–7 tracks. These are usually provided via a digital download link following the conclusion of the event, allowing you to catch up on sessions you may have missed.
Is the event suitable for non-technical visitors?
While the focus is heavily technical, the "Hydrogen Leadership Summit" track is designed for executives and managers to understand the market trends, funding landscapes, and regulatory updates without needing an engineering background.
Can I visit both the Hydrogen and Carbon Capture expos with one badge?
Yes, a single registration pass (whether free or paid) grants you access to both the Hydrogen Technology World Expo and the Carbon Capture Technology World Expo exhibition halls, as they are integrated into the same venue floorplan.
