The International Energy Agency Hydrogen Implementing Agreement (IEA HIA) is the world’s largest
and longest-lived cooperative organization in hydrogen research. It offers researchers an established,
global network and acts as a catalyst and framework for collaboration. The IEA HIA’s core business is
hydrogen R,D&D. Our vision is a hydrogen future based on a clean sustainable energy supply of global
proportions that plays a key role in all sectors of the economy. This paper provides an overview of the
IEA HIA collaboration and our eleven (11) current/closing tasks, emphasizing the role of research and
analysis that enables hydrogen energy solutions.
