Germany
Germany has a variety of hydrogen initiatives such as National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Innovation Programme (NIP), promoted by government institutions such as NOW GmbH (National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology) and industry groups including the Clean Energy Partnership and DWV (German Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association). These initiatives incorporate development of hydrogen stations. In 2008, the government of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia launched the "NRW Hydrogen HyWay" initiative along the existing hydrogen pipeline (total length 230 km) in the Rhine-Ruhr area.

Famous quotes containing the word germany:
“It took six weeks of debate in the Senate to get the Arms Embargo Law repealed—and we face other delays during the present session because most of the Members of the Congress are thinking in terms of next Autumn’s election. However, that is one of the prices that we who live in democracies have to pay. It is, however, worth paying, if all of us can avoid the type of government under which the unfortunate population of Germany and Russia must exist.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“It is the emotions to which one objects in Germany most of all.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, to-day in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be regarded as a bête noire the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
