Green Hydrogen Talks
From
In the battle against climate change and our pursuit of sustainable energy solutions, green hydrogen and renewable energy are pivotal. These technologies offer the promise of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting ambitious sustainability targets. However, their success hinges on addressing a host of opportunities and challenges, from advancing technology and market growth to shaping supportive policies and infrastructure.
In that framework, the Policy Center for the New South and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation are organizing a joint seminar with the aim to bring together leading experts and stakeholders to explore the potential of green hydrogen in powering a climate-resilient future worldwide. It will delve into two distinct yet interconnected sessions that focus on the global impact of green hydrogen adoption and its specific role in the Mediterranean region, and promises to unravel the potential, opportunities, and challenges of green hydrogen adoption, charting a course toward a decarbonized world and a resilient Mediterranean.
