Contact KarinThe Iberian Peninsula is rapidly becoming a key player in the green hydrogen revolution. With its strategic location and abundant solar radiation, there are great opportunities for the production of green hydrogen, driving both technological development and research.
In this webinar on March 14 from 09:00 to 11:00, some of the leading figures in the field presented their work.
This time we had the theme of Maritime Shipping – an area where much development is taking place, both in ports and at sea. We have gathered several knowledgeable individuals to give us an insight into the current situation regarding challenges and opportunities.
In this edition of Academic Roadtrip, we focus on the materials in the electrolyzer and fuel cell.
What is required to establish hydrogen production successfully? Where can hydrogen be produced? Many requirements must be met. Let us gather different perspectives on these questions and, at the same time, visit Sweden's largest site for green hydrogen production. At this event, we will have speakers from Naturvårdsverket, Svenska Kraftnät, Energimyndigheten and Länsstyrelsen Norrbotten, as well as H2 Green Steel, Nordion, Liquid Wind, Ovako and Adven to hear their experiences in establishing hydrogen production sites. The event will finish with a site visit to Ovako's electrolysis plant. Welcome!
In this academic road trip, we will focus on hydrogen as a fuel. We will get an introduction to the latest research on hydrogen combustion engines and turbines. What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Exciting event with site visits both within the summit and specifically for the Swedish delegation.

The Netherlands is a very interesting country in the context of hydrogen. There is a long gas tradition and there are expansive investments in various parts of the hydrogen value chain. Together with the Dutch Embassy and Business Sweden, we will gain insight into the development.
The government is investing billions in the development of Swedish domestic aviation.
Politically, we hear that we should not feel flight shame. At the same time, emissions must be reduced to net zero.
How does this add up? Hydrogen is part of the solution – both for the production of SAF and for direct propulsion of aircraft.
But where does the development of hydrogen-powered aircraft stand? Are there aircraft and infrastructure at the airports?
We met researchers, companies, aircraft manufacturers, and airports to dive deep into the possibilities.
Below you will find the link to the presentations from the workshop.
In this event we will get a roundtrip from some of Swedens leading academic within hydrogen for the transport sector. We will gain an outlook into hydrogen for propulsion both in turbines for aviation and internal combustion engines. What challenges come with the change to hydrogen within these technologies? Furthermore, we will compare hydrogen to other sustainable fuels with regard to both economics and the environment. Can hydrogen compete for heavy-duty transport?
In northern Sweden and Finland, hydrogen development is taking place rapidly. How can the regions work together to continue to take steps forward in hydrogen-related activities, research and building infrastructure?
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) became US law on August 16, 2022. A significant part of the IRA is massive support for the clean energy sector, including hydrogen. The Government of Canada set out its commitment to developing a clean hydrogen economy in December 2020 when it published a Canadian Hydrogen Strategy. By 2050, the country intends to supply up to 30 percent of its energy in the form of hydrogen gas and become one of the top three producers of pure hydrogen globally.
In March 2023 Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) sent a revised version of the regulation regarding handling of flammable gases “MSBFS2020:1” for consultation. The revision focuses on new specific regulations for hydrogen handling, including a new appendix regarding safety distance for hydrogen. The documents, in Swedish, can be found here: https://www.msb.se/sv/regler/remisser-om-foreskrifter-och-allmanna-rad/https://www.msb.se/sv/regler/remisser-om-foreskrifter-och-allmanna-rad/
The purpose of this online event is to provide increased understanding, knowledge, and discussions on the current and upcoming regulations on safe hydrogen installations, but also to understand how this works in reality: both in installations and in permitting. What is new in the coming regulations on hydrogen handling, what can coming permitting processes and installations learn from previous installations, and how can we continue the development of this important topic?

One year ago, the Danish government agreed on a Power-to-X strategy to accelerate the development of green hydrogen and e-fuels and put Denmark in a leading European position. What has happened since the agreement, and which plans are being realized? What is the status of the coming energy islands (with a special focus on Bornholm), electricity generation and pipelines?
The purpose of this online event is to provide the latest updates, an understanding, and interest in the hydrogen and Power-to-X development in Denmark.
Welcome to this event by Swedish Hydrogen Development Center on a Danish Outlook.
