In September, 2009 seven members of the Clean Energy Partnership signed a Memorandum of Understanding 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.
It called for two phases of work
  1. "leverage plans to install new hydrogen fuelling stations by 2011"
  2. 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.
