Lisbon hosts international conference on green hydrogen future

The first International Conference on Hydrogen Horizons (ICH2) is taking place in Lisbon from September 21 to 24. The event brings together representatives from industry, academia, research centers, and public entities to discuss the future of green hydrogen and its role in decarbonization.

Organized by the HyLab – Green Hydrogen Collaborative Laboratory and the IN+ Center for Innovation, Technology and Policy Research within the framework of the H2 Green Valley Agenda, the conference focuses on the entire hydrogen value chain. Key topics include production, transport, distribution, storage, safety, and economic viability.

The program includes technical visits to industrial and R&D facilities, such as HyLab in Sines and Repsol, as well as scientific sessions at the Museu do Oriente. The initiative aligns with European efforts to reduce emissions and energy dependency, particularly in sectors where direct electrification is difficult.
