Hydrogen is a key element of Europe's efforts to decarbonize energy and transport. It is a fuel that produces water as a by-product instead of CO2.
The Slovenian -German Hydrogen Day will bring together government, research and business representatives from Germany and Slovenia who will discuss the hydrogen economy and CO2 neutrality from the strategy, best practices and business perspectives.
