Empowering Europe's Clean Energy Future: Hydrogen Valleys Conference in Brussels
Key Ideas
- The conference in Brussels, led by Valérie Bouillon-Delporte, focuses on funding and cooperation to support the development of hydrogen valleys across Europe.
- Co-organised by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and the European Commission, the event aims to double the number of hydrogen valleys in the EU by 2025.
- 16 hydrogen valleys have already been launched, reflecting a substantial investment of €1 billion, with €200 million contributed by Europe.
- The discussions involve key stakeholders like political decision-makers, local authorities, project developers, investors, and industry suppliers to shape local hydrogen ecosystems.
The upcoming conference in Brussels, under the stewardship of Valérie Bouillon-Delporte, the new Executive Director, is set to address the pivotal issue of funding and collaboration for hydrogen valleys in Europe. Co-organised by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and the European Commission, specifically the DG for Research and Innovation, this event scheduled for 17 and 18 June will build upon past work with European regions and cities to finance 15 hydrogen valleys, laying the groundwork for an EU hydrogen valleys roadmap. Noteworthy is the launch of 16 valleys representing a total investment of €1 billion, a sizeable portion of which is supported by Europe. The objective is ambitious: to double the number of hydrogen valleys in the EU by 2025, signaling a strong commitment to clean energy. The agenda features engagements with various stakeholders, including political leaders, local government representatives, project initiators, investors, and industry suppliers, all with the common goal of shaping robust local hydrogen ecosystems. Among the participants, the AURA region's representative from France will present insights into their hydrogen strategy, particularly their involvement in the IMAGHyNE project. The conference promises to be a significant milestone in advancing Europe's clean energy transition, with a focus on fostering collaboration and investment for sustainable hydrogen solutions. For those interested in following the latest updates in the hydrogen sector, the conference's program and additional resources are available for further exploration.
