AN INTERNATIONAL VISION FOR HYDROGEN AND FUEL CELLS
The International Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy (IPHE) was established in 2003 as an international institution to accelerate the transition to a hydrogen economy. Each of the following IPHE partner countries has committed to accelerate the development of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies to improve the security of their energy supply, environment, and economy:
The IPHE 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.
Global opportunities for the implementation of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are presented in the IPHE Communiqué (PDF 39KB).
