On February 17 and 18, 2022, Graebener® Bipolar Plate Technologies will participate in the American Hydrogen Forum in Houston, Texas (USA). The expert event, which is now taking place for the second time, provides an international dialog and thus drives technological developments across national borders and continents. The main mission in this context is to reduce greenhouse gas and CO2 emissions with the support of sustainable, cost-effective and easy-to-use energy sources. The thematic pet passion here: Hydrogen – which has long been seen as a key element in the energy transition in Europe and especially in East Asia, but is now also attracting increasing interest in the United States.

The U.S., whose Department of Energy initiated a large-scale program called Energy Earthshot in June 2021 that aims to reduce the cost of clean hydrogen by 80 % within a decade, is establishing the American Hydrogen Forum as a platform for decision-makers from all relevant segments to gather - from politics to science to industry. The main focus is on the benefits of establishing a national hydrogen economy, its recent developments, ongoing projects and future plans, and in this context, of course, also on the design and production of series-compatible fuel cells and its components. In this regard, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal was also recently concluded, with the United States providing eight billion US dollars to accelerate the path to zero-carbon heavy-duty transportation and industry.

Around 100 speakers, experts and industry leaders - including Fabian Kapp - will attend the American Hydrogen Forum. Titled "From Plate to Process to Plant. Metallic Bipolar Plates for Fuel Cells - How to Choose the Right Production Technology," the approximately 20-minute presentation by the managing director of Graebener® Maschinentechnik GmbH & Co. KG will begin at 12:30 p.m. (GMT-6) on February 17, 2022.
