The International Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy (IPHE]) is an inter-governmental cooperative initiative founded in 2003 consisting of 26 countries and the European Commission. The IPHE works with the member countries and leaders in the hydrogen fuel and fuel cell industry in order to further develop and implement those technologies.[1]

History

The International Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy was founded in 2003 to help create cooperation between different governments in developing hydrogen and fuel cell technology.[2] The IPHE contains two working groups: the Education & Outreach Working Group and the Regulations, Codes, Standards, & Safety Working Group.[3] In addition, there are other task forces in the partnership such as the Hydrogen Certification Mechanisms, the Trade Rules, the Hydrogen Environmental Impact Assessment, The Hydrogen Skills, the Maritime and the Hydrogen Bulk Storage task forces. In July 2005, the G8 Summit endorsed the IPHE in its plan of action on climate change, clean energy, and sustainable development and identified it as a means of cooperation to develop clean energy technologies.[4] The United States was the chair of the IPHE from 2003 to 2007 and 2018 to 2021.[2] The partnership held a student outreach meeting at the University of Maryland in 2023.[5]

Member Countries

The IPHE consists of 24 member countries and The European Commission.[6] Croatia and Mauritania were the most recent countries to join in 2025 after the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Uruguay at the end of 2024.
