Created in 2009

Promotion of hydrogen economy• Informing population about benefits of hydrogen technologies

Website http://UAHE.net.ua• Only resource in Ukrainian and Russian• Network

Perspectives for the future

Catalysts:• 2014 - EU Association• 2015 - HORIZON-2020

Implementation of a workgroup can be suggested• Ministry of Energy (with Ministry of Ecology and Ministry

of Infrastructure)

Improvements to stimulate arrival of H2-technologies:• Safety and industry standards• Licensing for construction and exploitation• Certification of hydrogen equipment• To classify H2 as an energy source • Quotas or special budgetary payments
