Next 12 September at 11:30 am (CEST) we will hold the second webinar within the HYDEA project, in which we will talk about a roadmap for hydrogen transport, storage and market applications in the framework of decarbonizing trends in Atlantic ports.
In this online event, lasting 90 minutes, we have several speakers from different organisations – university, industry, and ports -, who will offer us their knowledge regarding European initiatives and market outlook, and their experience in terms of hydrogen storage, handling and distribution in ports.
