DS Industry is a new international event focused on helping industrial companies address environmental challenges while strengthening their competitiveness and energy security. Its first edition will combine a professional exhibition and congress on 3 and 4 November, when DESIREE will be present, followed by visits to industrial facilities on 5 November.

The event will bring together manufacturers, engineering firms, technology providers, research centres and other industrial stakeholders to explore solutions related to energy efficiency, renewable energy, circular economy and clean technologies.

Renewable hydrogen for industrial decarbonisation

At DS Industry, DESIREE will highlight the potential contribution of renewable hydrogen to the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate industries, where reducing greenhouse gas emissions remains particularly challenging.

The project will introduce its approach to advancing Solid Oxide Electrolyser (SOEL) technologies, with the aim of improving the efficiency, durability, reliability and operational flexibility of renewable hydrogen production systems.

Nine European projects addressing industrial sustainability

At stand D18, Zabala Innovation Europe will present DESIREE alongside eight other European research and innovation initiatives: MARPOWER, INDUCE, AIR4NRG, SHERPA, STOR-HY, MADE4WIND, CIRCWIND and pAIramid.

Together, these projects cover complementary areas of industrial sustainability, including energy efficiency, renewable energy, energy storage, alternative fuels, circular materials and advanced manufacturing.

European Hydrogen Week is one of the major international meeting points for the hydrogen sector, bringing together industry representatives, researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders. The 2026 edition is expected to attract more than 8,000 participants and 200 speakers, combining an international exhibition with a conference programme addressing technological innovation, market developments and hydrogen-related policies.

The event is jointly organised by the European Commission, Hydrogen Europe and the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, in collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).

Advancing solid oxide electrolysis for renewable hydrogen production

At European Hydrogen Week, DESIREE will highlight its approach to addressing some of the main challenges limiting the wider deployment of solid oxide electrolysis technologies. The project aims to improve the efficiency, durability, reliability and operational flexibility of renewable hydrogen production through innovations at cell, stack and system levels.

A key objective is the development and validation of a 40 kW multi-stack SOEL prototype, targeting efficiencies above 85% and improved integration with renewable electricity. By presenting its technological approach, DESIREE aims to raise awareness of the potential of high-temperature electrolysis to support more competitive hydrogen production, particularly for hard-to-abate industries where renewable hydrogen could contribute to decarbonisation.

Four European hydrogen projects at stand H40

DESIREE will be presented alongside three other European research and innovation projects at stand H40, hosted by project partner Zabala Innovation. Together, the four initiatives address different technological challenges across hydrogen production and its potential use in transport and energy systems. The other projects featured at the stand will be:

• ACHIEVE, investigating stable, low-emission combustion technologies for hydrogen-based fuel blends in gas turbines.
• ALRIGH2T, developing liquid hydrogen refuelling technologies for aviation, addressing challenges associated with hydrogen handling and airport refuelling operations.
• MARPOWER, developing an advanced gas turbine-based energy conversion system for maritime transport, designed to operate with different fuels, including hydrogen.

Their joint presence will offer an overview of complementary research efforts addressing hydrogen production, fuel flexibility and hydrogen applications in sectors seeking alternatives to conventional fossil fuels.

A meeting point for the hydrogen sector

Beyond the exhibition, European Hydrogen Week 2026 will feature a programme of conferences, forums and networking activities designed to encourage exchanges between research, industry and policymakers. The agenda includes a B2B Forum, an Innovation Forum and a High-Level Policy Conference, alongside opportunities for networking and discussions on the technological, economic and regulatory conditions shaping the hydrogen sector.

For DESIREE, participation represents an opportunity to increase awareness of its research among relevant industrial and scientific stakeholders and explore potential connections with other initiatives working on renewable hydrogen technologies.

Further information about the event and its programme is available on the official European Hydrogen Week website.

Project team member Jorith Massa, Innovation Engineer at BOSAL, will attend the forum and help raise awareness of the project among researchers, technology developers and industry stakeholders in the fields of hydrogen and electrolysis. Within DESIREE project, BOSAL contributes to the development of advanced heat exchanger solutions and other system-level innovations aimed at improving the performance and integration of Solid Oxide Electrolyser (SOEL) technology. The event will provide an opportunity to share information about DESIREE’s development of an advanced 40 kW multi-stack SOEL prototype designed to improve the efficiency, durability and system integration of renewable hydrogen production systems. Visitors interested in learning more about the project will be able to meet Jorith Massa and the BOSAL team at booth B12 throughout the event.

Massa will also introduce the EU-funded 24/7 ZEN project, which is developing reversible solid oxide cell (rSOC) technology for energy storage and grid balancing applications. Together, the two projects demonstrate how solid oxide technologies can contribute to the future of renewable hydrogen and clean energy systems.

Europe’s leading forum for solid oxide technologies

Organised annually in Switzerland, the European Fuel Cell Forum is recognised as one of the most important international meeting points for the fuel cell, electrolyser and hydrogen communities. The event focuses on the latest scientific and technological developments in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), solid oxide electrolysers (SOE) and related electrochemical energy conversion technologies.

The 2026 edition, held under the motto “Shaping solid oxide technologies for a sustainable future“, will bring together researchers, industry representatives and policymakers to discuss advances in materials, cells, stacks, systems and commercial deployment. The programme includes technical presentations, poster sessions, tutorials, exhibitions, project meetings and networking activities.

Participation in EFCF 2026 will provide an excellent opportunity to increase the visibility of DESIREE among key stakeholders from the international hydrogen sector, exchange knowledge with leading experts and strengthen connections with organisations working to advance clean hydrogen technologies.
