Saw the conclusion of the European Hydrogen Week, organised by Hydrogen Europe, in cooperation with the European Commission and the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, on 24-28.10.2022 and held in the Brussels Expo centre.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over 3200 stakeholders of the hydrogen community were brought together to witness more than 120 exhibitors and 150 speakers covering all elements of the sector\u2019s value chain. Across the exhibition room, attendees could get a first-hand view of the latest in electrolyser and fuel cell technologies as well as touch with hand and test hydrogen trucks, buses and cars.<\/p>\n

As a member of the Hungarian Hydrogen Technology Association, HYDROGEN EUROPE, he was invited and participated in the event, where Istv\u00e1n Leps\u00e9nyi, the president of the association, held a meeting with the leaders of the European and World associations.<\/p>\n

On the second day of the event, the GHIAA, which was established in Seoul in 2022 with the participation of the hydrogen industry associations of 18 countries, officially admitted Hungary to its membership. According to their formulation, the international cooperation of key economic actors and the private sector is essential for the transition to the hydrogen economy, to combat global climate change and to achieve carbon dioxide neutrality.<\/p>\n

The high-level policy conferences featured panels consisting of some of the most prominent stakeholders in the hydrogen industry and covered the most pressing topics facing this new industry: the need for both urgency and pragmatism in creating the regulatory framework, the unique challenges different sectors face to decarbonise and how hydrogen can help, and how to remain a leader in an industry that has caught the attention of the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

Day two of the event was highlighted by a visit and speech from Mr. Frans Timmermans, Vice President of the European Commission, wherein he announced the release of \u20ac3 billion in new funds as part of the upcoming Innovation Fund call in November. These are on top of the \u20ac3 billion for the Hydrogen Bank already announced by President von der Leyen. EVP Timmermans said that green hydrogen is now \u201cat the top of our agenda for the European Green Deal, but also for the recovery from the pandemic\u201d and, that following the war in Ukraine, it would \u201cplay a key role in the energy transition and creating European energy sovereignty\u201d.<\/p>\n

About the success of the event, Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe, said: \u201cWe accomplished something that is a landmark for our sector and a new reference point when it comes to energy related developments in Europe and globally. Thank you to all our exhibitors, speaker and attendees and we look forward to seeing again at next year\u2019s edition on 20-24 November 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n
