Hydrogen-based emission-less mobility and transportation solutions

International Sustainable Mobility Forum


This forum aims to promote a meeting of the supply and demand of innovative hydrogen and fuel cell solutions in transport systems in the context of emissions-free mobility. The event will bring together suppliers of technology solutions, industry, transport management entities and fleet owners, urban planners, land managers and decision makers - among others - promoting mutual updating on opportunities and challenges related to the use of hydrogen. Hydrogen ecosystems, such as production, storage, distribution, refueling and end-use, are presented through innovative pilot projects carried out in the context of European projects and strategies.

The forum "Hydrogen-based Low Carbon Transport and Mobility Solutions" aims to present functional options in the area of hydrogen and fuel cells demonstrated in European cities and regions, present innovative technological solutions and discuss methodologies to accelerate the deployment and implementation of hydrogen and technologies in the mobility and transport sectors.

The event also aims to support public authorities, including those responsible for mobility and transport, the integration of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies into their investment, development, partnership and sustainability plans. It is also intended to align local and regional mobility and transport policies with European strategies for sustainable mobility, decarbonisation, energy and hydrogen, thus attracting innovation, investment and capacity building for these sectors.

Participants


Cities, regions, Hydrogen and fuel cell associations, investors, industry, mobility and other stakeholders with a keen interest in the hydrogen sector and its outcomes and interested to learn more about the local Hydrogen Clusters and willing to develop partnerships.
