Who we are:

HyCologne networks 50+ partners who use their diverse expertise to promote hydrogen technology in the Rhineland. These include cities and districts, private and municipal companies and leading research institutions. We operate as an association in the Rheinland region and are also networked and recognized nationally and internationally. More than 15 years ago, we started with the use of by-product hydrogen from the chemical industry for fuel-cell buses. Today, the region occupies a leading position in hydrogen-powered transport throughout Europe. With our 50+ members and partners, we aim to realize hydrogen projects that make a relevant, efficient and sustainable contribution to climate protection and the economic strength of the region. Our strengths are our diversity, our experience, valuable contacts and good communication.

Our Mission: Network. Develop. Make.

We network all players in the Rhineland.

Our network comprises more than 50 partners who use their diverse expertise to promote hydrogen technology in the Rhineland. These include cities and districts, private and municipal companies and leading research institutions.

We develop our strong region.

We see the potential of hydrogen technology not only in emissions and climate protection, but also in strengthening the economic power of our region. We are therefore initiating large-scale projects to increase the market maturity and economic viability of hydrogen technology in our region.

We make hydrogen the No. 1 energy source.

For the Rhineland region, the provision of energy is essential for industry, trade and transport. We are therefore focussing on hydrogen as an indispensable energy source for an emission-free supply. We stand for an accelerated ramp-up of H2 and fuel cell technology along the entire value chain.
