An International Vision for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells


The IPHE was established in 2003 as an international institution to accelerate the transition to a hydrogen economy. It provides a mechanism for partners to organize, coordinate and implement effective, efficient, and focused international research, development, demonstration and commercial utilization activities related to hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. The IPHE provides a forum for advancing policies, and uniform codes and standards that can accelerate the cost-effective transition to a hydrogen economy; and it educates and informs stakeholders and the general public on the benefits of, and challenges to, establishing a hydrogen economy.
