Key messages
 Electrolysis and fuel cell technologies are mature and proven
technologies with many successful demonstration projects.
 There is still a potential for technology improvement, but most of the
improvement is expected on costs.
 Volume markets will drive cost down significantly via
standardization, value chain optimization, continuous improvement
 From which markets will the high volumes come from ? Mobility
seems to be a good candidate but other markets show an interesting
potential.
 Political leadership is needed to deploy hydrogen !
 The FCH industry should focus now on market creation activities.

 We are ready ! and we have started !
