Our hydrogen vehicle at COP 28
Neumann János University of Kecskemét is a participating exhibitor at COP28, the largest UN conference on climate change. The 12-day conference is also the summit of world leaders, where Hungary will be represented by President of the Republic Katalin Novák. The event, which is being taken place in the United Arab Emirates from 30 November to 12 December, will be attended by more than 70,000 delegates, including Kecskemét as the only Hungarian exhibitor.
The university is basing its participation in the climate summit on a custom-designed hydrogen-powered vehicle. The creation of the NeumannH2 is not primarily about sales! Beyond the patent and patentability possibilities, the aim was to make hydrogen-powered vehicles acceptable to the wider public by dispelling unfounded fears. On the other hand, as a university, it is an important objective to give students a hands-on experience of one of the means of transport of the future. By participating in COP28, the university has become involved in the development of hydrogen technology at a time when there are still many questions and potential impasses, but the project has also helped to identify many of these and find the best solutions to the problems.
The NeumannH2 model presented at the stand of the University of Kecskemét was unveiled by Katalin Novák, President of the Republic of Hungary, on 1 December 2023 at the COP28 climate conference in Dubai.
