    Plan your trip

    Planning

    1

    Check passport validity and whether you need a Schengen short-stay visa for Germany — Non-EU/EEA visitors generally need a Type C visa for a business visit of up to 90 days; applications are processed in around 15 working days.

    2

    Register for Hydrogen Tech World Conference 2026 and save your confirmation — Register through the organiser website (hydrogentechworld.com) and keep the confirmation email for visa and badge collection purposes.

    3

    Book flights into Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) — DUS is about 5 minutes from the venue hotel; alternative arrivals via Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof connect to the airport terminal in around 18 minutes.

    4

    Reserve a hotel room for 22-25 September 2026 — Van der Valk Airporthotel Düsseldorf is the venue; city-centre options include Hotel NH Düsseldorf City and Rugs Hotel Düsseldorf.

    5

    Review the published conference programme and shortlist sessions — Prioritise electrolyser integration sessions and case studies from iron and steel, refining and fertilizer producers.

    6

    Email target exhibitors, speakers and suppliers to request meetings — Aim for 15-20 minute slots during the two show days; the event is focused and senior, so pre-booked meetings matter.

    7

    Arrange the airport-to-venue transfer — Hotel shuttle or taxi takes about 5 minutes; bus 760 costs roughly EUR 2 from the airport area.

    8

    Prepare visa documents if required — Typically an invitation letter, hotel booking, travel insurance and proof of funds; check the German mission or VFS checklist for your country.

    9

    Download the exhibitor list and floor plan — Highlight electrolyser OEMs, electrode and component suppliers, storage providers and engineering consultancies.

    10

    Check the Düsseldorf September forecast and pack — Expect highs around 19-21 C, lows around 9-12 C and roughly 10 rain days; pack layers, a waterproof jacket and business attire.

    11

    Prepare meeting materials — Print your schedule, bring business cards and any technical datasheets or project specifications you want to discuss on site.

    12

    Confirm badge collection point and day-one arrival logistics — Check the organiser's registration desk location and opening times for 23 September and plan to arrive early for orientation and screening.

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    Assess how this option fits your objectives.

    Best for

    Electrolysis engineers, project developers and procurement leads evaluating electrolyser, storage and balance-of-plant suppliers for industrial green hydrogen projects in Germany and across Europe.

    Min. budget

    $900.00

    Timeline

    4-6 weeks for flights, the 22-25 September hotel window and any Schengen visa appointment

    Risks

    Hotel demand around the Düsseldorf airport venue can lift room rates in show week; book the 22-25 September window early.

    Schengen business visas can take around 15 working days to process after the appointment, so apply well before 23 September 2026.

    exhibit

    Assess how this option fits your objectives.

    Best for

    Electrolyser OEMs, electrode and component manufacturers, water treatment and balance-of-plant suppliers, EPC contractors and technical consultancies that need direct access to project developers and industrial end users.

    Min. budget

    $3,500.00

    Timeline

    8-12 weeks for stand booking, build planning, freight and staff travel

    Risks

    Stand space is allocated by KCI Media Group, so late applications may limit hall position next to the conference rooms.

    Shipping demo units and components into Germany requires customs paperwork and forwarder lead time ahead of build-up.

    skip

    Assess how this option fits your objectives.

    Best for

    Suppliers with no hydrogen, industrial gas or clean-energy portfolio and no German or wider European project pipeline.

    Timeline

    Not applicable

    Risks

    Skipping forfeits direct access to a small, senior audience of hydrogen project decision makers meeting in Düsseldorf on 23-24 September 2026.

    The 2026 event is the fourth edition, building on the 2023, 2024 and 2025 editions, and the programme is published on the organiser website.
    What does the programme cover?
    Sessions focus on the real-world integration of electrolyzers into industrial operations, with case studies from hard-to-abate sectors such as iron and steel production, refining and fertilizer production, plus the latest power-to-X developments.
    Do I need a visa to travel to Germany for the conference?
    Third-country nationals generally need a Schengen short-stay visa for a business visit of up to 90 days in any 180-day period, applied for around 15 working days before travel; EU/EEA nationals and visa-exempt nationalities do not need one.
    How do I get from Düsseldorf Airport to the venue?
    The venue hotel sits about 5 minutes from the DUS terminals; delegates can use the hotel shuttle, a short taxi ride, or bus 760 for roughly EUR 2. Trains from Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof reach the airport terminal in about 18 minutes.
    What are delegate fees and registration options?
    Registration and delegate packages are handled on the organiser website through the Hydrogen Tech World registration pages; the listing record shows a standard ticket at EUR 0, so confirm current delegate fees, inclusions and invoice details with KCI Media Group when you register.
    What is the weather like in Düsseldorf in late September?
    Expect early-autumn conditions with daytime highs around 19-21 C, nighttime lows around 9-12 C, and roughly 9-10 rain days in the month; layers and a waterproof jacket are advisable for the 23-24 September show days.

    Glossary

    1
    Electrolyzer
    The plant that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity; at this conference the focus is on integrating electrolyzers into real industrial operations rather than lab-scale units.
    2
    PEM electrolyzer
    Proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, a compact high-current-density design widely used for green hydrogen; PEM stacks typically rely on iridium, one of the rarest materials on earth.
    3
    Green hydrogen
    Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity via electrolysis, the core product discussed across the conference programme and exhibitor stands.
    4
    LOHC
    Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier, a liquid that chemically binds hydrogen so it can be stored and moved using conventional fuel logistics instead of high-pressure or cryogenic systems.
    5
    Power-to-X
    Umbrella term for converting surplus renewable electricity into hydrogen and then into other energy carriers, fuels or chemicals such as power-to-liquid.
    6
    RFNBO
    Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin; the EU regulatory classification that hydrogen and its derivatives must meet to count as renewable in European import and offtake contracts.
    7
    Hard-to-abate sectors
    Industries such as iron and steel, refining and fertilizer production where emissions cannot easily be cut by electrification alone, making hydrogen a key decarbonisation route.
    8
    Bankable project
    A hydrogen project with feasibility studies, offtake agreements and financial structuring complete enough for lenders and investors to fund it; a recurring theme in the programme.
    9
    Electrode
    The conductive component inside an electrolyzer where the hydrogen and oxygen reactions occur; electrode manufacturing capacity was highlighted as a bottleneck in the supply chain.
    10
    Levelised cost of hydrogen
    The average cost per kilogram or megawatt-hour of hydrogen produced over a project's life, used by developers and buyers to compare production routes and sites.
    11
    Balance of plant
    The supporting equipment around the electrolyzer stack, including power supply, water treatment, cooling and compression, which buyers specify alongside the core technology.
