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:
“How does Nature deify us with a few and cheap elements! Give me health and a day, and I will make the pomp of emperors ridiculous. The dawn is my Assyria; the sun-set and moon-rise my Paphos, and unimaginable realms of faerie; broad noon shall be my England of the senses and the understanding; the night shall be my Germany of mystic philosophy and dreams.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We are fighting in the quarrel of civilization against barbarism, of liberty against tyranny. Germany has become a menace to the whole world. She is the most dangerous enemy of liberty now existing.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
“If Germany is to become a colonising power, all I say is, “God speed her!” She becomes our ally and partner in the execution of the great purposes of Providence for the advantage of mankind.”
