Solutions for industrial energy supply

The Hannover Messe is all about "Energy for Industry" and is thus driving forward the development of industrial energy supply. From March 31 to April 4, exhibitors will present products and solutions in the hydrogen and fuel cell exhibition areas - including "Hydrogen + Fuel Cells Europe", the most important hydrogen event in Europe - as well as Energy 4.0 and energy technology. The latest technical solutions for the generation, distribution, storage and management of energy will be presented in the energy halls in the form of exhibits, presentations and networking events.

From components to big data

"Energy resilience and efficiency are at the forefront of the manufacturing industry. At Hannover Messe, exhibitors present modern and robust energy systems for industrial applications. Only here can visitors experience the latest high-tech solutions for themselves," says Basilios Triantafillos, Global Director Trade Fair and Product Management Hannover Messe at Deutsche Messe. "In one place, they will find everything they need for a future-proof energy supply, from individual components and parts to the use of big data to optimize energy flows and the use of artificial intelligence."

Hydrogen - energy source of the future

Hydrogen is a key technology for the decarbonization of industry and the creation of a sustainable energy future. The versatile energy carrier is used in many areas of industry, for example in emission-free processes or to increase energy efficiency. At the trade fair, producers and users will come together to launch new projects and discuss the necessary framework conditions for the development of a sustainable hydrogen industry. Visitors will gain insights into technologies and processes such as the production of green hydrogen, fuel cell technologies and infrastructure projects.

The "Hydrogen + Fuel Cells Europe" in Hall 13 forms the core of the hydrogen community. In addition to the exhibitors, two forums offer space for moderated interviews and discussions as well as technical presentations. The "Energy 4.0" theme stands for the integration of digital technologies into the energy industry. Here, exhibitors will present products and solutions that offer concrete answers to challenges relating to the efficiency and sustainability of energy generation and distribution. "The interplay of applications such as real-time data management, smart sensor technology and software-based data analysis makes it possible to monitor energy consumption, optimize costs and reduce_{CO2 emissions}. Companies can thus not only increase their energy efficiency, but also react flexibly to fluctuations in energy demand and maximize the use of renewable energies," explains Triantafillos.

Energy is the focus of discussions

The "Energy 4.0 Conference Stage" focuses on practical solutions for a stable and resilient energy supply in industry. The focus is on complete energy systems. The daily program is organized in cooperation with the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (VDE) and the German Electrical and Digital Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI) and includes keynote speeches, lectures and panel discussions.

The further development of energy technology is crucial for the future of industry. New technologies for energy generation, storage and distribution are the focus here. From power transmission technology and advanced battery storage to smart energy grids - exhibitors will show how modern energy technology contributes to increasing efficiency and reducing CO₂ emissions. The "Energy Technical Forum" focuses on the development of robust energy infrastructures. Here, companies will present concrete application examples, from decarbonized electricity and heat supply to mobility for industrial use.

The "Compressed Air & Vacuum Technology" exhibition area is located in the immediate vicinity of Hydrogen Hall 13, thus leveraging the synergies between the two sectors in an excellent way. In particular, many suppliers who are experts in the optimization of compressed air and vacuum technology in production also offer solutions for the growing field of hydrogen energy and storage.
