An EU hydrogen project led by Belfast Met is set to be unveiled at an event in Brussels next week.
The Director of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership in Europe Bart Biebuyck will introduce the project at EU Energy Week on 27 September 2022.
Looking forward to hearing the GenComm session, 'The Commodification of Green H2 for Europe', Mr Biebuyck said: "I am looking forward to a new edition of EUSEW, filled with interesting debates and presentations on the future of energy and I am happy to see green hydrogen is once more high on the agenda. Get ready for an exciting programme and tune in to our session on the Commodification of Green hydrogen for Europe – a subject that's more relevant than ever. Let's discuss how we can make hydrogen an everyday commodity for all Europeans."
GenComm Coordinator Paul McCormack added: "Among the most important challenges we face today is the energy crisis and the decarbonization of the global economy. In order to successfully meet these challenges is to consistently expand our renewable energy sources with green hydrogen as the key energy vector and to further develop the concept of sector coupling, building system resource efficiencies and integrating renewables in industry, energy and mobility infrastructures with Power to X solutions."
The interactive session will examine how we can position Hydrogen technically and environmentally to become an energy commodity. The session will detail the key steps in the hydrogen value chain, production, storage and use to maximise green energy outputs and accelerate the transition to net zero.
It will discuss the need to develop innovative sector coupling technologies and strategies, new energy models to achieve widespread use of secure renewable energy supply and how the implementation of existing and new technologies with industry stakeholders/customers provides commercial confidence.
Marianna Rossi, a Research Associate at the German GenComm Partner IZES gGmbH, who is also speaking at the global event, said: "The EUSEW offers people with the most diverse backgrounds and disciplines the opportunity to come together and exchange their opinions and ideas. As a psychologist, I look forward to being able to accentuate the social perspective and welcome the input of the other participants. Above all, I am looking forward to a lively exchange on the subject of green hydrogen and its possible role in the energy market of the future."
Ms Rossi will speak on the subject of 'H2 Evaluation' as part of the GenComm session. This will look at how Green H2 can assist EU communities face multiple challenges and become energy secure.
GenComm Programme Manager Paul Mc Cormack who is also the Belfast Met Innovation Manager will speak on 'H2 Optimisation' looking at building on the Hydrogen topography.
