The Expo for Decarbonised Industries ENERGY STORAGE (decarbXpo) is being expanded to become the leading trade fair for Power-to-X technologies and products. The Power-to-X-for-Applications working group of the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) and Messe Düsseldorf have now signed an agreement to this end. The upcoming event will take place from 20 to 22 September 2022 at the exhibition grounds in Düsseldorf alongside glasstec, the world's leading trade fair for the glass industry.

The VDMA will contribute its expertise and industry contacts to expand the trade fair's range of products and services relating to the Topics green hydrogen and Power-to-X to strengthen the programme. Among other things, Power-to-X-for-Applications will be involved in the programme design of the decarbXpo and the forums, as well as contributing its own trade fair presence.

Hydrogen and P2X technologies crucial for industrial decarbonisation

The VDMA has been a partner of numerous industrial goods trade fairs in Düsseldorf for many years, including the world's leading trade fairs for energy-intensive industries such as glass and metal production.

„The new partnership shows that the mechanical and plant engineering Responsibility for climate neutrality in industry seriously. The Power-to-X technologies on show at decarbXpo are a key element in reducing CO2emissions in energy-intensive user industries. The trade fair thus makes a decisive contribution to the Implementation of greenhouse gas reduction targets."

Peter Müller-Tree, Managing Director of Power-to-X-for-Applications

decarbXpo co-operates with various trade fairs and thus brings Storage providers and experts for energy efficiency with industrial and commercial users of storage technologies together. „The collaboration with the VDMA is an excellent addition to the existing industry partnerships, as it decisively strengthens the hydrogen and Power-to-X segment of the trade fair,“ adds Bernd Jablonowski, Executive Director of the VDMA. Düsseldorf Trade Fair Centre.

„The mechanical and plant engineering sector is developing sustainable technologies that are necessary to counteract climate change. The Converting green electricity into other energy sources via Power-to-X is a key technology, which makes an important contribution to climate neutrality for industry and transport. In addition, hydrogen and other power-to-X solutions as energy storage systems contribute to Security of supply in the energy sector with. With Messe Düsseldorf and the Expo for Decarbonised Industries ENERGY STORAGE, we now have a strong partner for setting up a corresponding trade fair.“
