European Hydrogen Transport Dialogue 2024 Award Winners
The third edition of the European Hydrogen Transport Dialogue concluded on a high note in Nuremberg, Germany, on 4-5 December 2024. The event brought together the most active sustainability investors, venture capitalists, corporate leaders, and policymakers, serving as a dynamic platform for innovation, investment, and collaboration in the hydrogen transport sector.
A Premier Platform for Hydrogen Transport Innovation
Hosted as part of the HYDROGEN DIALOGUE Summit & Expo, this year’s event spotlighted 30 of the most promising companies at the forefront of hydrogen transport technology. Featuring insightful keynote addresses, lively panel discussions, and over 100 One-to-One Meetings, the European Hydrogen Transport Dialogue emphasized the power of partnerships in accelerating the hydrogen economy.
Recognizing Excellence in Hydrogen Innovation
Among the participating companies, several were honored for their groundbreaking contributions to the field. Here are the award winners of the European Hydrogen Transport Dialogue 2024:
Ammonigy GmbH is specialized on the CO2-free operation of combustion engines and industrial burners. The patented ammonia-cracking technology enables ammonia as a fuel in decentralized locations and the mobility sector. Core focus is heavy-good transport and industrial applications where large engines are irreplaceable. Examples are cargo locomotives, mobile power generators or ships. CO2-free operation of existing engines is a major factor for a sustainable future. Ammonigy operates own engines, exhaust aftertreatment system and industrial burners in its test facility.
Electriq Global has patented technology transforms hydrogen into a practical, coffee-like powder material which can be stored in a safe, lossless, and compact form for years. It is simple to transport just like everyday products, its energy density is superior to other hydrogen forms, and pure hydrogen is delivered at the press of a button using Electriq’s straightforward and compact dehydrogenation system. Electriq’s sustainable, circular, and zero-emission hydrogen powder is best used in off-grid and mobile applications which must cease using fossil fuels and cannot be serviced by conventional hydrogen.
Jolt Solutions srl revolutionizes catalysis and protective coatings with its SPARKFUZE process, providing greener, cost-effective, and durable electrodes to drive the scalability of electrolyser and battery production. With a focus on transforming the overlooked core of industrial energy, Jolt is unlocking green hydrogen and decarbonizing industries, starting with its 4 GW factory launching in April 2024.
Oort Energy is a manufacturer of green hydrogen systems for energy storage and clean fuel. We are innovators who have found the solutions to the major cost-barriers of green hydrogen. The company offers an electrolyser system that is efficient, durable, scalable, and has class-leading cost-effectiveness.
PowerUP Fuel Cells produces and sells top-tier hydrogen fuel cell-based battery capacity extenders and PEM fuel cells. The proprietary technology of the Estonian startup is in use by telecoms, security & defence, construction and healthcare sectors —all with zero CO2 emissions. These lightweight, silent, low-maintenance UP® solutions are pivotal in the global shift towards net-zero goals amidst climate change. The company’s innovations are rooted in its founders’ 17 years of scientific research.
SKYCORP Technologies is building the green autonomous ecosystem of drone-based services. The company’s long endurance hydrogen drones increase coverage by 9 times over conventional battery drones enabling lifesaving and productive eyes in the sky for cities and regions while replacing the need for expensive helicopters or hours of driving. These hydrogen drones enable aerial services such as incident response or inspecting renewables to produce more green energy while saving 90% of the inspection costs. SKYCORP’s vision is to develop the entire ecosystem so that in the future, entire countries can be serviced from hydrogen drone hubs requiring just 10’s per country rather than thousands.
Driving Innovation Through Collaboration
The event’s success highlights the transformative potential of uniting innovators, investors, and industry leaders. Each winner exemplifies the pioneering spirit needed to tackle pressing climate challenges and propel the hydrogen economy forward.
This year’s European Hydrogen Transport Dialogue was co-organized by HydrogenDialogue and HydrogenEurope, with strong support from partners including NurembergMesse, D2XCEL, and others who share a commitment to advancing the hydrogen economy.
Looking to the Future
The European Hydrogen Transport Dialogue 2024 reinforced its position as a premier event for catalyzing innovation in hydrogen transport. As we look to the future, the focus remains on fostering strategic connections and pioneering technologies that drive Europe’s sustainability ambitions.
