Offshore production of green electrons and molecules
Hydrogen is an important part of the European environmental ambitions. An important objective is to decarbonise hydrogen production. The use of hydrogen will be implemented gradually in various sectors, including the offshore industry.
The second edition of the SIRRIS Wind Energy Technology Summit will take place in June 2022. The programme includes two thematic events and 1 masterclass. Blue Cluster acts as a co-organiser in the thematic event on hydrogen, which takes place on 8 June in Brussels.
During this seminar, we will take a look at how the interaction between offshore wind energy and hydrogen production takes shape in a national and especially an international context. In addition, we will also pay attention to the (technological) challenges of the next few years.
