Internship: Hydrogen/PtX and cooperation with private sector (International Hydrogen Ramp-up Program – H2Uppp)

Green hydrogen is central to the energy transition and climate protection. Through the international market ramp-up programme H2Uppp, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) supports the entrepreneurial drive and project development crucial to the global scaling of hydrogen markets. In doing so, the BMWK fosters investment and propels the global hydrogen economy.
