The Hanseatic Hydrogen Center for Aviation and Maritime (H2AM) is established in northern Germany to support aviation and shipping under the national hydrogen strategy. H2AM will provide a research and testing environment for start-ups and SMEs, develop regulations, and offer services for hydrogen suppliers.

Key locations are Hamburg, Stade, and Bremen/Bremerhaven, with Hamburg as a central mobility hub. The Fraunhofer CML and ZAL GmbH will collaborate on hydrogen research, focusing on bunkering processes, fuel cell integration, and safety regulations. The CML plans to create a Fuel Cell Integration Center and a Multi-Fuel Bunkering Facility in Hamburg, supported by nearly 70 million euros in funding from the BMDV.
