German-Danish Green Hydrogen Forum

On 24 March 2025, we gathered in Berlin together with Danish Industry and Green Power Denmark for an important dialogue on the development of a joint German-Danish green hydrogen market.

The event marked the launch of the German-Danish Green Hydrogen Forum, which will serve as a platform for collaboration between policymakers, industry, and regions – focusing on three key areas:

• Policy dialogue and engagement with decision-makers
• Market insights and analysis of green hydrogen development
• Regional collaboration and growth

The event was hosted at the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) in the heart of Berlin and brought together stakeholders from both countries for a day of inspiring discussions and new connections.

The  German-Danish Green Hydrogen Forum is a new initiative, which builds on years of industry collaboration in the existing Danish PtX-Partnership and a series of discussions between key German and Danish stakeholders. We will advance the "German-Danish Green Hydrogen Offtake Declaration" through structured discussions focusing on establishing a world-leading green hydrogen market between Germany and Denmark.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all speakers, moderators, and partners who contributed to the successful launch of the German-Danish Green Hydrogen Forum in Berlin on 24 March 2025.

Your insights, experience, and engagement helped create a strong foundation for future German-Danish collaboration in the green hydrogen sector.
