European Hydrogen Association

EHA Mission

November 17, 2011

In 2000 five national hydrogen organisations established the European Hydrogen Association (EHA) and started a close collaboration to promote the use of hydrogen as an energy vector in Europe. In 2004 major European industries active in the development of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies joined the EHA and enforced this effort to create a commercial market for stationary and transport applications and a role as market leader for the European hydrogen and fuel cell sector. The EHA currently represents 20 national hydrogen and fuel cell organisations and the main European companies active in the hydrogen infrastucture development. Its unique membership structure has enabled the EHA to have up-close insight in local developments and to communicate important issues regarding industrial and regulatory needs to key decision makers at EU level. Since 2008 the EHA is hosting the European Regions and Municipalities Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells, HyER (formerly HyRaMP). The missions of the Association are defined as follows: 1. Information 1.1. Internal Collect relevant information and circulate it between members (scientific, economical and technical, laws and regulations, requests for proposals, events, etc.). Encourage exchanges and joint actions between members. 1.2. External Identify and advertise hydrogen-related capabilities existing in Europe (not [...]

Code of Conduct

October 9, 2008

1. PURPOSE OF THE CODE OF CONDUCT This Code of Conduct is designed to inform members of the Association of their obligations under the US and EU antitrust and competition laws. These laws seek to preserve free and open competition. As a general rule, competitors may not restrain competition among themselves through understandings or agreements with respect to price, production or distribution of their products, or through other agreements that restrict competition. Furthermore, one group of competitors may not act in concert to restrict the competitive capabilities or opportunities of their competitors, suppliers or customers. The Association Code of Conduct is not limited to competition issues. In all Association activities, both the Association and its members will act in compliance with the applicable laws. The Association members are responsible for their compliance with applicable laws. The Association will not tolerate or abide its members violating the antitrust laws, and it will scrupulously monitor the Association’s activities to guard against antitrust and competition law violations. While the focus of the mission of the Association will be in Europe, participation in the Association may not be exclusive to companies from the European Union. Thus it will seek to follow the rules of [...]
