General Meeting at T\u00dcV Nord in Essen <\/h2>\n\n

At the annual general meeting of h2-netzwerk-ruhr e.V., forty participants<\/strong> gathered on March 19 at the T\u00dcV Nord campus in Essen. Network Chair Thomas Kattenstein works at DMT Energy Engineers, a subsidiary of T\u00dcV Nord. <\/p>\n\n

The CEO of DMT, Dr. Maik Tiedemann, did not miss the opportunity to personally welcome the network\u2019s members. In addition to the usual formalities of a general meeting, there were interesting substantive discussions<\/strong>. These were introduced by the presentation by Dr. Thomas Kattenstein, who addressed in depth the obstacles, but also the bright spots in the hydrogen ramp-up<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

There, he welcomed the adoption of the Hydrogen Acceleration Act<\/strong>, but at the same time pointed out that the rigid EU rules on green hydrogen<\/strong> were making it unnecessarily more expensive. <\/p>\n\n

What is always important at these meetings is to have sufficient space for professional exchange. This was used extensively. In one of the discussions, Prof. Brodmann<\/strong> passionately argued that the exclusive preference for battery-electric passenger cars had been a wrong decision<\/strong> and regretted the dismantling of hydrogen refuelling stations. <\/p>\n\n

The network\u2019s next members\u2019 evening will be hosted by the Westphalian University of Applied Sciences in Gelsenkirchen<\/strong> on June 16, 2026<\/strong>. The h2Raum project<\/strong> will also be presented in more detail; it has just secured an expansion of its financial support. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
