27 Key messages Electrolysis and fuel cell technologies are mature and proven technologies with many successful demonstration projects. There is still a potential for technology improvement, but most of the improvement is expected on costs. Volume markets will drive cost down significantly via standardization, value chain optimization, continuous improvement From which markets will the high volumes come from? Mobility seems to be a good candidate but other markets show an interesting potential. Political leadership is needed to deploy hydrogen! The FCH industry should focus now on market creation activities. We are ready! and we have started! 27
