Save the date 07.03.2024. Join our parallel session during EHEC!

EHEC is organized by the Spanish Hydrogen Association (AeH2) and brings together experts, researchers, and industry leaders in the field of hydrogen, providing a platform for sharing the latest advances, innovations, and developments in hydrogen-based technologies. With a focus on promoting sustainable and clean energy solutions, EHEC seeks to play a crucial role in advancing the adoption of hydrogen as a clean energy source across Europe and the world. For this reason, the SH2E project wants to be present during this key event and has organised a parallel session.

This will be our agenda, themes and speakers:

9:30 – 9:45 WELCOME AND PRESENTATION OF SH2E PROJECT
