Meet FEV e+r at the Aachen Hydrogen Colloquium 2026
Hydrogen-derived energy carriers and eFuels are increasingly recognized as important building blocks of the energy transition. Yet turning promising concepts into bankable projects requires far more than technological innovation alone.
Project developers must align regulatory requirements, certification pathways, renewable energy sourcing, supply chains, engineering design, and commercialization strategies from the very beginning. As hydrogen projects continue to grow in scale and complexity, this integrated approach is becoming a key success factor.
These challenges will be at the center of discussions during the 5th Aachen Hydrogen Colloquium, one of Germany’s leading forums for hydrogen innovation and industrial deployment.
Moving beyond technology discussions
Hydrogen technologies have reached a level of maturity that allows many projects to move beyond concept development.
As a result, industry discussions are increasingly focused on practical questions:
- How can hydrogen carrier projects become investable?
- Which regulatory requirements must be considered early?
- How can certification and permitting pathways be incorporated into project planning?
- What role do renewable energy availability and CO₂ sourcing strategies play?
- How can projects transition efficiently from feasibility studies to implementation?
Answering these questions requires close collaboration across the entire project lifecycle.
FEV and Chiyoda: Bridging the gap between vision and execution
At this year’s event, Kyra Johnen-Thier from FEV Consulting and Hiroki Toba from Chiyoda Corporation will present:
From feasibility to reality: Chiyoda and FEV’s joint pathway to sustainable hydrogen carriers
Date: 19 May 2026
Time: 13:00
Location: Main Hall, Novotel Aachen
The presentation highlights how feasibility studies, regulatory assessments, certification requirements, and supply-chain optimization can be aligned early in project development to support execution-ready solutions.
Particular attention will be given to sustainable hydrogen carriers and eFuel projects, including their role in connecting renewable energy generation with global energy demand.
A full-lifecycle perspective
Hydrogen projects often fail not because of technology limitations, but because critical decisions are addressed too late in the development process.
The session will therefore explore how integrated planning can help reduce risk and improve project readiness through:
- Early strategy development
- Location and infrastructure assessments
- Integrated plant design
- Renewable power sourcing concepts
- CO₂ supply strategies
- FEED and FID preparation
- Industrial-scale realization pathways
The objective is to demonstrate how complexity can be transformed into a structured roadmap for implementation.
Looking ahead
As hydrogen projects move from feasibility to deployment, success increasingly depends on the ability to connect technology, regulation, supply chains, and engineering into a coherent development framework.
The Aachen Hydrogen Colloquium provides an opportunity to discuss these challenges and exchange practical insights on scaling sustainable hydrogen solutions.
For organizations developing hydrogen ecosystems, eFuel projects, or low-carbon energy solutions, the focus is no longer simply on what is technically possible.
The focus is on how to turn ambitious concepts into real-world projects.
