'''Clean Energy Partnership (CEP)''' is a joint project for world's most versatile hydrogen demonstration. It is aiming for emission-free mobility and has several [[hydrogen station]]s.
As of May 2010 the CEP is a consortium of thirteen partners: [[Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe|Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe BVG]] (Berlin transit authority), [[BMW]], [[Daimler AG|Daimler]], [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], [[General Motors|GM]]/[[Opel]], [[Hamburger Hochbahn]] (Hamburg transit company), [[The Linde Group|Linde Group]], [[Royal Dutch Shell]], [[Statoil]], [[Total S.A.|Total]], [[Toyota]], [[Vattenfall|Vattenfall Europe]], and [[Volkswagen group|Volkswagen Group]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cleanenergypartnership.de/index.php?id=7&L=1 |title=Partner |publisher=Clean Energy Partnership |accessdate=2010-05-09 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120723193124/http://www.cleanenergypartnership.de/index.php?id=7&L=1 |archive-date=2012-07-23 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
==Milestones== In November 2004 the first hydrogen station was opened in [[Messedamn]], [[Berlin]], [[Germany]]. On July 13, 2006 Volkswagen Group joined the partnership.
In September, 2009 seven members of the Clean Energy Partnership signed a Memorandum of Understanding<ref>{{cite press release |title=Joint Press Release of Linde, Daimler, EnBW, NOW, OMV, Shell, Total and Vattenfall: Initiative "H2 Mobility" - Major companies sign up to hydrogen infrastructure built-up plan in Germany |url=http://www.linde-anlagenbau.de/news/en/news09102009.php |publisher=[[The Linde Group]] |date=2009-09-10 |accessdate=2010-05-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100919112645/http://www.linde-anlagenbau.de/news/en/news09102009.php |archive-date=2010-09-19 |url-status=dead }}</ref> with NOW GmbH (Nationale Organisation Wasserstoff- und Brennstoffzellentechnologie, "National Organisation Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology", a state organisation. represented by the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.now-gmbh.de/index.php?id=78&L=1 |title=About Us |publisher=NOW GmbH |accessdate=2010-05-10}}</ref> It called for two phases of work # "leverage plans to install new hydrogen fuelling stations by 2011" # Depending on the progress of this, a nationwide roll-out of hydrogen fuelling stations will be continued, supporting the introduction of series produced hydrogen powered vehicles in Germany around 2015.
As of September 2006 CEP had 17 hydrogen stations.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}}
