Working towards a balanced energy mix: what role for hydrogen?

EURACTIV invites you to this workshop to discuss the role of hydrogen in helping the EU reach its long-term energy and climate goals. A coherent and coordinated European strategy is required, which encompasses research and development, demonstration, application and standardisation.

EURACTIV invites you to this workshop to discuss the role of hydrogen in helping the EU reach its long-term energy and climate goals. Questions to be discussed include:

- What progress has been made in the monitoring and assessment of demonstration projects where hydrogen is used to power vehicles?
- Has hydrogen production, distribution and refuelling infrastructure been fully demonstrated in test cases?
- Are safety, reliability, training and public acceptance all fully resolved elements in the hydrogen debate?
- What scope for further innovation in fuel cell vehicles of different types: scooters, wheelchairs, cargo-bikes, small trucks and minibuses? 
- How important is sectoral integration through collaboration with other players?
