Conference program
The "Fuel Cell Production" program has been designed by Ulf Groos (interim division director, Hydrogen Technologies), based on the Fraunhofer joint project H2GO. The “Fuel Cell Production” session will be a set of lively podium discussions with experts and a strong interaction with the participants on different topics along the value chain from catalyst to stack production.
