The H2GLASS Policy Forum on Co-Creating Industrial Hydrogen Pathways for Energy-Intensive Industries is an interactive workshop organised by the EU project H2GLASS that combines expert inputs, facilitated discussions and thematic breakout sessions.
It addresses stakeholders across the entire hydrogen value chain from industry to research, from policy makers to sectoral associations.
Participants will exchange perspectives, discuss barriers and opportunities to identify and prioritise solution pathways for industrial hydrogen uptake and deployment in the energy-intensive industries with emphasis on the glass and aluminium sector.
The event will take place as a side event to the European Hydrogen Week in Brussels in room 1124.
Please make sure to also register as a visitor to the European Hydrogen Week to attend this event!
