#5 NL-IL Mini-Symposium on Hydrogen and Renewable Energy 2 Feb 2021 (01 Feb 17:00 - 01 Feb 17:00)
Hydrogen is a key enabling technology for the energy integration challenge as it provides valuable solutions for several independent appliances, from in-land and offshore large transportation to heating as well as for energy storage. Hydrogen also has a key role to play in decarbonisation. Cooperation is an essential element to boost the hydrogen economy worldwide. Both the Netherlands and Israel have unique selling points in where they can contribute to decarbonisation and in where both countries can benefit from the given opportunities and from each other’s expertise. This mini symposium aims at presenting the outstanding impact already delivered by individual hydrogen projects and discuss how the technology can now enable cooperation between Israel and the Netherlands under the new Green Deal proposal/plan and post-COVID Recovery Plan.
