The Foundation

The purpose of the Foundation is to promote the protection of the environment and the climate as well as the promotion of science and research.

The purposes will be achieved by measures that serve to promote the production and use of Green Hydrogen and other climate-neutral energy carriers (climate-neutral or defossilised energy carriers) at national and international level, including in developing and newly industrialised countries. Activities shall be carried out and supported which, through scientific, journalistic or other practical activities, through education, consulting and information as well as through anal-yses and studies, promote the improvement of the use of these energy carriers and thus serve the protection of the climate.

‍

The Foundation's work is supported by 54 Donors. The Foundation organizes itself in thematic working groups and meets regularly for Donor’s Conferences to discuss the promotion of the hydrogen market in terms of application-oriented environmental and climate protection.

The Donors have elected a Board of Trustees to control and monitor the Foundation's activities. The Board of Trustees consists of 13 members elected by the Donors and 7 members delegated by the funding bodies. Chairperson of the Board of Trustees is Dr Axel Wietfeld. Deputy Chairperson is Angela Titzrath.
