In 2021, the European Union’s pioneering Green Deal will increasingly come to life, through legislative proposals and other transformative initiatives. For the 9th edition of the Global Annual Energy Meeting, Esade’s Center for Global Economy and Geopolitics (EsadeGeo) is hosting, together with the Representation of the European Commission in Spain and EIT InnoEnergy, a series of webinars to explore the geopolitics of the Green Deal.
As part of the Green Deal and Europe’s ambition to become climate-neutral by 2050, the European Commission has adopted a Hydrogen Strategy to develop and deploy low-carbon and green hydrogen technologies. Expectations are high, with hydrogen expected to be a key element to help decarbonize industry, transport, power generation and buildings.
The final session of this year’s Global Annual Energy Meeting will focus on “Hydrogen Advances: The EU as a Hydrogen Leader”. What factors need to fall into place for the EU to become a hydrogen leader? Can the EU draw lessons from other hydrogen-producing countries around the world and their policies? What is the EU’s global competitive edge when it comes to the hydrogen economy? Which business models will lead to the needed innovation, and how can various stakeholder groups work together to make the EU’s hydrogen leadership a reality?
