Energy system flexibility in hydrogen valleys – what can sector integration and hydrogen infrastructure deliver together?
Sector integration is recognised as a key enabler for a resilient, cost‑efficient and carbon neutral energy system. Hydrogen is emerging as a key bridge between sectors – enabling flexibility, balancing variability and unlocking new value chains.

The webinar will provide the participants an opportunity to hear and discuss the latest developments in sector integration and flexibility in hydrogen infrastructure in hydrogen valley context, with a holistic, wide-angle view.
BalticSeaH2 brings together leading experts from industry, research and hydrogen ecosystems to discuss how sector integration can be realized in practice in integrated hydrogen valleys. Concrete case studies, flexibility solutions, and system-level modelling will shed light on how sector integration and hydrogen infrastructure can strengthen resilience and support the transition to a climate‑neutral energy system in the Baltic Sea region and beyond. The webinar concludes with ecosystem perspectives and gives food for thought on policy implications.
