Highlights from the Hydrogen Valley days

The Hydrogen Valley Days took place on 17-18 June and marked a new milestone in efforts to further develop Europe’s green hydrogen regions – with the signing of the first memoranda of co-operation with national and regional authorities and the announcement of a facility designed to get more hydrogen projects to the financing stage.

The EU islands forum 2024 in a Nutshell

On 14-15 May, the Clean energy for EU islands forum took place in Pantelleria with the motto “Power of Islands – Building Resilience through Renewables“. Seven workshops covered a range of topics from the specific challenges of energy communities and cooperatives on islands to energy and water efficiency for the residential and hospitality sectors.

From June 17 to 19, representatives of the European project CRETE VALLEY travelled across Crete to present the Renewable Energy Valley ‘Living Lab’ (REV-Lab). The new decentralised power system will enable residents to meet their energy needs through renewable sources such as solar, wind, geo-exchange, biomass, biogas, and hydrogen.
