CO₂-neutral molecules for internal combustion engine drives

Invitation to the
6. Hydrogen Engine Conference 2025
in Karlsruhe

The Hydrogen Engine + ReFuels Conference in Karlsruhe a current perspective
on the latest developments – ranging from industry and politics to science and the financial sector – and
features expert presentations, discussions, and forward-looking insights into topics such as
energy supply, refueling infrastructure, and energy conversion.

The agenda is sure to be exciting again this year and will be defined over the coming weeks.
The conference focuses on hydrogen as a key energy carrier.
Nevertheless, in addition to pure hydrogen, liquid hydrocarbon refuels
will also be discussed for the first time..

Register now for the 6. Hydrogen Engine + ReFuels Conference 2025,
or contact us via email or by phone at +49 (0)151 25804934 for further information.

We warmly welcome you and look forward to your participation!!


Welcome Address for the Conference

Prof. Dr. Thomas Koch · KIT · Leiter des Instituts für Kolbenmaschinen (IFKM)

Dear supporters of sustainable propulsion technologies,

It is my great pleasure to warmly invite you to the 6th Hydrogen Engine Conference,
taking place on Thursday, September 18, 2025, in Karlsruhe.

As in previous years, the hydrogen engine and its associated challenges - from hydrogen production and infrastructure to refueling technologies - will remain the core focus of our event. However, starting this year, we are broadening our perspective: the scope of the conference has been expanded to include hydrogen derivatives. For the first time, refuels - sustainable hydrocarbons derived from hydrogen - will also be featured as part of the program.

We are currently finalizing the agenda and will publish it on the website shortly. More than ever, the interaction between technical details and political as well as societal developments is driving our efforts.
As always, you can look forward to highly relevant insights at the intersection of mobility, energy, and society.

This year, we have chosen the Schlossgartenhalle in Ettlingen as our venue. I would be delighted to welcome you there once again, to engage in discussions about current and future challenges. Take advantage of this opportunity to exchange ideas across disciplines and expand your professional horizons.

Kind regards,
Thomas Koch
