SMART HY-AWARE Final Dissemination Conference

SMART HY-AWARE holds its final conference on 20 June 2023 in Brussels, Belgium

The event is an opportunity to explore the challenges to promote hydrogen-electric mobility and to discover how partners have successfully boosted the development of the clean hydrogen-based mobility in response to these challenges.

This event will conclude four years of interregional exchange, learning and cooperation between partners from Italy, Hungary, the UK, Greece, The Netherlands and Spain.

From the development of hydrogen master plans, through public-private partnerships, to the creation of calls for proposals dedicated to SMEs and pilot projects as a territorial development axis, the SMART HY-AWARE project partners have managed to find solutions adapted to each of their territories to reduce the carbon footprint through the use of green hydrogen..

2 discussion sessions will guide participants through the challenges related to the use of hydrogen in mobility and the industrial sector, as well as concrete measures implemented in our territories to build and support a viable hydrogen ecosystem.
