On the way to becoming Europe's leading hydrogen location

Hamburg to present itself at Hannover Messe

Hamburg (ots) - Following a one-year break, Hannover Messe is now back: the
world's number one industrial fair is taking place digitally from Monday 12
April to Friday 16 April. In keeping with the tagline "Future. Made in Hamburg",
Hamburg will be presenting itself in front of an international audience as a
leading hydrogen location. In addition, Hamburg will be providing a foretaste of
the 2021 ITS World Congress - the international platform for intelligent
mobility, which is scheduled to take place in Hamburg this October.

During the Hannover Messe, Hamburg will be presenting itself as an innovative
region and major hydrogen location in the heart of Europe, with innovative
solutions and projects along the entire value chain to be showcased as part of
the event. And indeed, a recent OECD study has confirmed that Northern-Germany
is especially suited to developing a green hydrogen economy: the region boasts
not only unique locational advantages for generating renewable energies, but
also provides great potential for the sale of hydrogen - especially to local
industrial companies. Hamburg thus plays an important role in ensuring that
Germany will meet its climate protection goals and succeed in mastering the
energy transition.

Hamburg's Minister for Economic Affairs, Michael Westhagemann, commented: "
Decarbonising industry, developing a green hydrogen economy and promoting smart
mobility are among Hamburg's top priorities. We look forward to demonstrating
this in front of an international audience and engaging with partners from
industry as well as representatives of other cities and metropolitan regions. "

As part of Hannover Messe's digital conference sessions, six live-streamed talks
will provide insights into the city's comprehensive expertise in the production
of green hydrogen and its application across various sectors of the economy -
from aviation, port-logistics and shipping to industrial use and the relevant
hydrogen infrastructure. Hamburg based global players such as Airbus, Shell,
Vattenfall and ArcelorMittal alongside innovative business leaders will be
explaining what makes Hamburg Europe's green hydrogen hub. Visit
