On 12 September 2025, we hold the second webinar within the HYDEA project, in which we talked 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 had several speakers from different organisations – university, industry, and ports -, who offered us their knowledge regarding European initiatives and market outlook, and their experience in terms of hydrogen storage, handling and distribution in ports.
