PEACE Project is back from Hannover Messe 2025
Published: April 10, 2025
The PEACE project team is back from an inspiring and energizing week at Hannover Messe 2025, one of the world’s largest and most influential industrial trade fairs. This year’s event hosted more than 4,000 exhibitors and 120,000 visitor with a strong presence of hydrogen community.
Thanks to the support of Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus - Senftenberg (BTU) — and in particular, the efforts of prof. Lars Röntzsch & Hesham Mahfouz, M.Sc. — the PEACE project was proud to present its innovative two-stage pressurization concept for developing a new and more efficient alkaline electrolyser. This breakthrough aims to significantly reduce the cost of green hydrogen production, helping deliver practical, scalable solutions for a decarbonised energy future.

But Hannover Messe was more than just a stage for technology. It was a hub of dynamic exchange — bringing together researchers, industry partners, and policy advocates from around the world. These connections reinforced our shared vision of hydrogen as a central pillar of a clean, sustainable energy system.
The PEACE project is grateful to everyone who stopped by and shared their insights. “The conversations we had were energizing and reaffirmed our commitment to accelerating green hydrogen innovation.”, summarised prof. Lars Röntzsch.
The PEACE project extends a special thanks to the Clean Hydrogen Partnership for its ongoing support and excellent cooperation in driving forward hydrogen technologies in Europe.
