This is the Hydrogen Grand Prix
Hydrogen you can touch. The H2GP program is aimed at pupils and students and offers the opportunity to get involved with the future topics of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies at a young age and to gain practical experience. Here's how it works:
1. Design
Pupils interested in science and their teachers develop a race-ready, hydrogen-powered vehicle on a scale of 1:10 from an “H2 starter kit”. They are supported in this by previous participants and tailored coaching from our cooperation partner Horizon Educational, for example. The teams are intensively involved with fuel cell technology and hydrogen.
2. Build
Plenty of team spirit, creativity, ingenuity and critical thinking will lead the teams to a dress rehearsal on the race track with their prototype in spring 2025. The teams will implement the knowledge gained here about the car's performance in the following weeks leading up to the H2GP Germany final and thus further optimize their vehicle.
3. Race
On June 21, 2025, the time has finally come: the teams from all participating schools will compete with their vehicles at the 3rd National Hydrogen Grand Prix in Chemnitz with the aim of impressing the expert jury with their design and performance. The teams compete against each other in various starting classes.
The aim is to complete as many laps as possible in a given time using a limited amount of hydrogen. It is important to react quickly if the hydrogen cartridge is empty or the cars collide with each other.
4. Win
The winners can look forward to a ticket to the Hydrogen Grand Prix World Finals, which will also be held in Chemnitz this year! Adrenaline and goosebumps are guaranteed! This is where the best in the world compete for the title.

What is the National Hydrogen Grand Prix (H2GP)?
The H2GP is a hydrogen-based educational program for high school students where they design, build and race hydrogen-powered RC cars. The program builds hydrogen skills through theoretical understanding and hands-on learning. The H2GP is based on three pillars: professional tools, a unique learning experience and fun races. The time for hydrogen education is NOW! You can find detailed information on the website of our cooperation partner Horizon Educational.
Who can take part?
The H2GP is aimed at high school students, sixth formers and vocational school students (m/f/d) aged 16-19, i.e. tenth to twelfth graders/upper school students or trainees. In each case, 3-5 pupils and a supervisor (usually a teacher, AG leader, m/f/d) form a team. A school can also register several teams for participation.
What requirements must the participating team fulfill?
As the innovators of tomorrow, you will definitely have an interest in scientific and technical topics. You should also be able to work in a team, enjoy tinkering, experimenting and researching and be willing to travel to the two events in Chemnitz.
We are interested and would like to participate. What do we need to do now?
Please get in touch with Samuel Rodrigo de Souza Cardoso, your contact person for the H2GP - see below for contact details. He will send you the application and registration documents and answer any questions you may have about the competition.
Patronage of the reference factory.H2
In times of climate change and far-reaching economic transformations, it is all the more important to impart basic knowledge about hydrogen and its opportunities to the younger generation. Our patronage of the 3rd National Hydrogen Grand Prix and the world final of the H2GP 2025 is our way of building bridges between talented young researchers and the challenges of using renewable energies.
