The purpose of the foundation is to promote the protection of the environment and the climate.
This will be achieved by measures that serve to foster the production and use of green hydrogen and other climate-neutral energy carriers at national and international level. Through scientific, journalistic or other practical activities, education and consulting as well as through analyses and studies, the improvement of the use of these energy carriers and thus the protection of the climate shall be promoted.
The founders have appointed a Board of Trustees to control and monitor the Foundation's activities. The Board of Trustees consists of 13 members elected by the founders and 7 members sent by the federal government. Chairperson of the Board of Trustees is Dr Axel Wietfeld (Uniper SE). Deputy Chairperson is Angela Titzrath (Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG), (Oct 2021).
Additional donors have already joined the 18 companies that established the foundation in the summer of 2021. Currently, 51 companies are engaged in the foundation. Our donors are united by their commitment to actively contribute to the global environment and climate protection by promoting the production and use of green hydrogen and other climate-neutral energy sources. The H2Global Foundation is always open to further donors wishing to commit to this objective.
