Hydrogen is an essential element for a more sustainable future. It enables the electrification of energy storage, transmission, distribution and consumption. It is a key enabler of the global transition towards carbon neutrality. In the present geopolitical architecture, it is a factor of peace, security and risk mitigation. In the European context, hydrogen is key to reach the EU Green Deal targets and for a more resilient and more competitive European Union.
Companies, research institutions, academia, and policy makers from three countries – Croatia, Italy (FVG) and Slovenia – are coming together in the Hydrogen Ecosystem Northern Adriatic. This already consists of several entrepreneurial, research and innovation initiatives, three of which are co-funded by the European Union. The flagship initiative, the North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley (NAHV), is in its second year of operation and represents the central axis of the ecosystem convergence.
