Hydrogen Valleys Regional

The Regional Hydrogen Valleys workshop explores the role of Hydrogen Valleys in fostering sustainable territorial development and advancing Italy's energy transition. The event will focus on various regional green hydrogen supply chains that are either already operational or in the development phase. Structured as a talk, the session will bring together businesses and facilitators from different regional supply chains to present the current status of development, collaboration opportunities, key strengths, weaknesses, and potential synergies at the national level. The event aims to delve into the essential aspects required to initiate the hydrogen supply chain from a local territorial system perspective and provide insights into the potential of Hydrogen Valleys within the national framework.

This workshop will provide a unique opportunity for stakeholders to exchange ideas, explore collaborations, and contribute to the advancement of Hydrogen Valleys as key drivers of Italy's energy transition.
