In today’s rapidly evolving world, where sustainable energy solutions are paramount, we need to recognize and celebrate the visionaries and innovators driving the hydrogen revolution. Hydrogen, the clean energy of choice in Europe, has the potential to permanently alter our energy landscape and mitigate climate change. To propel this transformative technology forward, the people driving change and taking leadership will be rewared tonight.
The Hydrogen Leadership Forum will be marked by true hydrogen leadership in the region. A jury of hydrogen organizations from participating countries will together award great initiatives and leading figures in the transition. Register now to have a chance at winning a Hydrogen Leadership Award!
The Hydrogen Leadership Awards are handed out by an independent jury comprised of national hydrogen associations, for excellent leadership in three different categories. Anyone, actors great and small, can join if they believe that their initiatives fit the awards’ criteria. The specific descriptions and criteria for each award can be found below, but these are some general takeaways:
For the one with heart for hydrogen, who is building the next part of the market no matter what. Without guaranteed offtake, infrastructure, or supply, volatile energy prices, and legislation in flux, this leader charges onwards to the future of a hydrogen fueled Europe. This award is for those with the resolve to be at the very tip of the spear, who cares more about transitioning than quarterly financials.

Winner of the Frontrunner Award last year:
Knud Erik Andersen, CEO, European Energy – For taking great risk and constructing one of the first major Power-to-X projects in Denmark. In a period with a lot of market turmoil, that was exactly what was needed: Getting actual experience with actual plants so we can lower costs and bring more projects from Power Points to FID.
For the people-person that has used his or her persuasive powers to bring together the most impressive coalition of the willing to work on hydrogen. Consortia, alliances, or associations, anything will do regardless of public or private formats. The importance of the network comes from its (potential) impact on the hydrogen transition, such as the amount and importance of its members, concrete and binding goals, and other resources at their disposal. This award is for those who inspire and activate others.

Winner of the Networker Award last year:
Ulco Vermeulen, special advisor to the Executive Board of Gasunie with a focus on the development of international hydrogen supply chains. He is a real innovator bringing parties together from energy infrastructure perspective. He is a strong believer that we have an unique role to play we can bring together the global and regional components for the distribution of hydrogen.
For the most important technological developments that have the potential to significantly impact the hydrogen economy. Increasing efficiency to bring prices down, overcoming problems that were preventing roll-outs, innovations that allow hydrogen to access more markets, or engineering scales that were not previously thought possible. This award is for the brightest minds that are essential for maturing the hydrogen market in Europe.

Winner of the Project Award last year:
GET H2 Nukleus – With this project RWE, bp, Evonik, Nowega and OGE want to increasingly supply industrial companies and the mobility sector with green hydrogen via Germany’s first publicly accessible hydrogen network by 2025. It created an important starting point for the hydrogen economy in the Emsland, Münsterland and Ruhr regions and, with its realisation, the basis for connecting further producers and consumers of green hydrogen from industry and SMEs. The project partners thus created a blueprint for solving the chicken-and-egg problem and developed an integrated and sustainable regional hydrogen value chain.
