The 5th Hydrogen Engine Conferences 2024

REVIEW 2024

The Program


The speakers and the topics

Roy Zakrzewski, MAN Truck & Bus
“The unique MAN H45, a pure hydrogen powered direct injection internal combustion engine based on the robust and reliable conventional powertrain components enables CO2-free (<1g/kWh) heavy haulage under lowest pollutant emissions, directly contributing to a fast decarbonization and complementing the battery electric solutions at MAN with the brand new hTGX.”

Thorsten Herbert, Hydrogen Now – Herbert Knowledge and Network
“An accelerated expansion of renewable energies, less complex regulation, cost reduction through automation and series production, as well as efficient incentives for H2 users are success factors for the ramp-up of electrolysis capacities.”

Dr. Jonas Wärnberg & Hakan Persson, VOLVO
“Volvo Group, our focus on sustainability and carbon neutrality by 2040 is not only to be achieved by BEVs and FCEVs but also by keeping the internal combustion engine fueled by hydrogen or other renewable fuels.”

Thomas Waldron, SuperTurbo Technologies
“SuperTurbo Technologies will present the results of two engine testing programs and discuss an air-system approach to meeting performance and emission requirements for the USA market.”

Dr. Andreas Kufferath, BOSCH
“In terms of robustness, readiness, availability and cost, the hydrogen engine is an attractive, sustainable and resilient technology.”

Didier Genoud, Liebherr Machines Bulle SA
“Vertical integration at Liebherr is a decisive advantage to offer best-in-class solutions to our customers.”

Michael Benz, Tata Motors
“Tata Motors' advancements in H2 ICE technology within the context of Tata Group & India's journey towards net-zero emissions.”

Paul Miles & Dr. Ales Srna, Sandia National Laboratories
“The US sociopolitical and technoeconomic environment supporting H2ICE technology are reviewed along with both the industry-led and government-funded research and development efforts in the US.”

Prof. Choongsik Bae, KAIST
“This presentation shows the recent trend of hydrogen and e-fuel internal-combustion-engine research and development in Korea, both from private company and public research institute.”

Dr. Johanna Reichenbach, Frontier Economics Limited
“The use of hydrogen plays an important role in a successful energy transition – both as an energy import carrier, as a storage and transport medium and for direct use in various end applications. However, there are still high uncertainties and a number of challenges along the entire hydrogen value chain. The three key challenges for the ramp-up of the hydrogen market relate to the availability of hydrogen, hydrogen infrastructure and hydrogen demand. The lecture addresses the challenges and discusses possible solutions.

Jens Brokate, ING-DiBa
“Hydrogen can play an important part in the green transformation of the transportation sector when it is green. But how can it be enabled?”

Thomas Burmeister, White & Case LLP
“The presentation gives an overview of the development of the legal framework for hydrogen by describing along the value chain when the use of green hydrogen is counted towards sustainability targets and how the development of a hydrogen pipeline network is promoted.”

Armin Mörtlbauer, Mörtlbauer Baumaschinenvertriebs GmbH
“A hydrogen combustion engine is a realistic and CO2-neutral alternative to the conventional diesel engine in construction equipment; however, in our view, a number of regulatory issues regarding standardization in the Machinery Directive and infrastructure still need to be clarified and simplified for an area-wide implementation.”
