CONFERENCE: REALISING THE MARITIME HYDROGEN POTENTIAL OF THE NORTH SEA REGION

Written on the 12th October, 2021

THIRD NORTH SEA HYDROGEN PORTS AND MARITIME CONFERENCE

Tuesday 11 January 2022

Scotland Europa Conference Centre, 8^th Floor, Rond-Point Schuman 6,

B1040 Brussels

Organised by the North Sea Hydrogen Ports and Maritime Community (NS HyMaP) with the support of CMB.TECH and Nedstack

The third North Sea Hydrogen Ports and Maritime Conference looks at policy initiatives that will emphasise the key role that the ports and maritime sector must play in the creation of a hydrogen economy. Firstly, we look at the advantages that ports have in developing regional hydrogen economies as hydrogen valleys and the steps that ports are taking to create these valleys.

The development of hydrogen vessels for work in ports and short sea shipping will also be a key challenge in the coming years and we look at a range of issues including system design, onboard storage and safety.

Bunkering will also be a critical issue for the creation of a short sea shipping network in the North Sea Region and this will be discussed at the Conference in a session looking at the transport of hydrogen. Hydrogen transportation will be a key issue as some areas of the North Sea will be exporters of hydrogen while other areas will be net importers.

The European Commission and Institutions have played a crucial role in stressing the importance of hydrogen and we will have key speakers from the Commission outlining recent policy initiatives including the Fit for 55 package.

The full Programme can be found on the European Policy Solutions website. Speakers include Bart Biebuyck (FCH JU). Paul Turner (CMB- TECH), Jogchum Bruinsma (Nedstack), Milinko Godjevac (Future Proof Shipping) and speakers from Lloyds Register and Statkraft.

More speakers will be announced shortly.
