As if it were meant to be, the first in-person workshop of our cross-border Hydrogen Valley initiative, <a href="https://oostnl.nl/h2-eart-samen-bouwen-aan-een-grensoverschrijdende-waterstofregio" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">H2EART</a>, took place on Valentine’s Day.This workshop was all about strengthening connections, getting to know each other even better, and marking the transition into the final phase leading up to our proposal submission. To set the stage, the session began with presentations from all hydrogen hub developments participating in the proposal. The group then split into dedicated working groups to discuss the next steps and what remains to be done in the coming weeks.With over 25 partners already involved, the H2EART initiative is set to holistically explore, develop, and implement the complete hydrogen value chain. By 2032, this effort aims to establish an operational hydrogen ecosystem capable of producing, transporting, and utilizing at least 4,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually.This initiative originated from the Think East Netherlands-theme group Smart Energy.We would like to sincerely thank everyone for their participation, enthusiasm, and commitment to working together towards an outstanding proposal submission in April.<h2>Contact</h2>Want to learn more about the proposal?
