"At the 2024 World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition in Rotterdam, the world’s hydrogen policy and strategy leaders presented the latest advances and pioneering hydrogen projects and discussed together how the development of the hydrogen economy can be accelerated. At yesterday's trilateral forum on hydrogen cooperation in Northwestern Europe over 100 partners from Innovasjon Norge, Royal Norwegian Embassy in The Hague, Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) | Partner in Sustainable Development, Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Germany and NRW.Energy4Climate discussed the potential in cooperation between Norway, the Netherlands and Germany, which will serve as the cornerstone for a European hydrogen market by 2050. The participants in the forum all highlighted that we are stronger together: "International connections are essential for the ramp-up and establishment of a liquid H2 market. Integrating and connecting European markets will be a key success factor: design our systems in such a way, that no trade barriers between countries are inherently build in. Do it right from the start," said Helmie Botter, Manager Business Development Hydrogen, Gasunie. Dennis Wehmeyer, Head of Hydrogen & Sustainability at GASCADE Gastransport GmbH said: “AquaDuctus will be the nucleus for the development of a hydrogen infrastructure in the North Sea to connect offshore hydrogen and neighbouring countries at the same time.” Henrik Solgaard Andersen, VP for Global Hydrogen at Equinor said "H2M Eemshaven is a perfect start for a trilateral partnership that kick starts hydrogen development in the Netherlands and Germany." “We are thrilled to see a trilateral cooperation happen between Germany, Netherlands and Norway. Horisont Energi work with industrial clients in both Germany and the Netherlands, and we see many synergies from Norway, Germany and the Netherlands engaging in a trilateral cooperation,” said Bjørgulf Haukelidsæter Eidesen, CO-CEO and Founder, Horisont Energi. “Low emission Hydrogen could play an important role in BASF’s transformation towards NetZero2050. The prerequisite: timely availability of infrastructures to access large amounts of H2 at competitive prices. That’s why we need to be open to different technologies to accelerate the hydrogen economy,” concluded Giovanna Di Tommaso, Head of carbon abatement projects at BASF. #norwaywhs24 #whs24 #strongertogether"
