Türkiye and Germany expand cooperation on green hydrogen
Türkiye’s H2DER and Germany’s H2Global Foundation have signed a memorandum to develop cooperation on green hydrogen.
The agreement was signed at an event in Istanbul organised by the German Consulate General.
It aims to help the organisations explore practical opportunities and build a stronger cooperation network.
The planned work includes sharing expertise, discussing policy and regulation, supporting research and holding joint events.
The partners say Türkiye has renewable energy resources, industrial infrastructure and a location close to European markets that could support large-scale production.
Green hydrogen could help heavy industry cut emissions, while cooperation may connect production with investment, technology and market demand.
The memorandum could help prepare future projects, but those would require separate commercial agreements.

What people are saying
Türkiye can become a hub for green hydrogen production and transportation.
If you really want to create a market, these kinds of collaborations are becoming increasingly important.
Our fundamental task is to turn these strategic goals into commercial-scale production supported by stable and sustainable demand.
This memorandum of understanding is not just a formality, but a commitment to creating market links that will make green hydrogen a reality.
