This One Day Conference is to be held in Brussels in February. It will examine the development of the North Sea’s role as a Hydrogen Corridor and the key role that the North Sea ports and maritime sector will play in its development.  The Conference will hear from senior European Commission officials, ports, the hydrogen supply chain and the maritime sector.

The North Sea Region is already a major producer of hydrogen and there are ambitious plans to increase green hydrogen production, develop import and export routes in the North Sea and receive hydrogen imports from across the World.  The European Commission envisages the North Sea as a major import corridor and the International Energy Agency has said the Region “leads the development of low-emission hydrogen as a new energy carrier. This region accounts for around half of Europe’s total hydrogen demand and has a vast and untapped renewable energy potential in the North Sea.
