An international technical summit focusing on the development, manufacturing, deployment and industrial integration of next generation electrolysers!
07 – 08 DECEMBER 2022 | EUROSTARS HOTEL BERLIN FRIEDRICHSTRAßE | BERLIN, GERMANY
THE SUMMIT
The deployment of large-scale electrolysers is the key technological element for the decarbonisation of central industrial and transport sectors.
The existing electrolyser technology is now ready for a massive scale-up: In May 2022, the EU Commission and 20 leading industry representatives signed a Joint Declaration to announce the commitment to a tenfold increase of the industry’s electrolyser manufacturing capacities by 2025, targeting an annual production of 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen by 2030 in the European Union.
To achieve this ambitious objective, considerable challenges have to be overcome by system manufacturers, providers of components and materials, industrial users of electrolysers and other stakeholders within the hydrogen economy.
The Berlin Electrolyser Conference (BEC) was founded in 2020 and launched as “Next Generation Electrolysers” virtual event in December 2020 and again 2021. Our mission is to bring together electrolyser specialists, engineering experts, scientific researchers and other stakeholders along the electrolyser value chain to discuss the development, manufacturing, deployment and integration of the next generation of industrial electrolysers.
We look forward to seeing you!

The Berlin Electrolyser Podcast
Berlin Electrolyser Podcast Hosted By Prof. Bruno G. Pollet
For some exclusive industry insights in between, check out new monthly podcast, hosted by our Berlin Electrolyser Conference Chairman Prof. Bruno G- Pollet. In each episode, we explore some of the most discussed questions in the industry with one special guest.
THE BERLIN ELECTROLYSER PODCAST EPISODE 5: David Hodgson, Managing Director, TFP Hydrogen
Our guest in this 5th episode is David Hodgson, Managing Director of TFP Hydrogen, a specialist for advanced electrochemical materials from Kendal in the United Kingdom. David has over 35 years’ experience in the electrochemistry industry and is the recipient of the prestigious SCI Castner Medal for Electrochemical Technologies. He is a leading expert his field, his experience extends from working in R&D in multi-national corporates to CTO and CEO roles for Plurion, PV3 Technologies, Amalyst and others. Since 2009, David has managed a portfolio career, undertaking a wide range of advisory roles, including working together with the Department for International Trade in helping international companies understand the UK energy sector. In 2020 David joined James Cropper PLC as Managing Director of TFP Hydrogen Products Ltd as a result of James Cropper’s acquisition of PV3 Technologies.
