Description: Within BalticSeaH2, which is a major European Union co-funded project to develop a hydrogen valley between Southern-Finland and Estonia, renewable energy developments have been mapped, to enable a further discussion regarding the design of key hydrogen infrastructure in the Baltic Sea Region. This seminar will first look at renewable energy production and then how to then design a hydrogen network to support this growth.
Date: 8th May 2024 09:30:00 – 14:00 EEST
