Fuel Cells and Hydrogen for Maritime and Harbour Applications
On the 14th June 2013, a full-day workshop organized by FCH JU on “Fuel Cells and Hydrogen for maritime and harbour applications: current status and future perspectives in the EU” took place in the meeting room “Sala Oro” c/o Confindustria in Venice. As part of this program, a visit of some hydrogen initiatives funded by the Veneto Regional Government has been organized on the day before, the 13 June.
