The North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley project is a significant initiative that brings hope for a greener future in Croatia and its partner countries. Led by project coordinator Jerneja Sedlar, the project aims to produce 5,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen by 2026 through the development of 17 projects across the region. The recent gathering in Rijeka saw partners discussing project implementation, risk assessment, and integration into social and industrial environments. Mayor Marin Gregorović of Cres expressed optimism about the project, highlighting the future transformation of utility systems and the aspiration for hydrogen-powered high-speed shipping. The project, based on regional cooperation between Slovenia, Croatia, and Italy, involves 37 companies and institutions and has a substantial budget of 25 million euros. This endeavor marks the EU's first international hydrogen valley, emphasizing innovation and sustainability for the entire region.
