The Clean Hydrogen Partnership, the European Hydrogen Valleys Partnership and the Northern Netherlands region organised the workshop “Towards an EU Roadmap for Hydrogen Valleys – Regional actors and their role: double the number of valleys by 2025 and build-up skills", on 28 February and 1 March 2023 in Brussels. 

The purpose of this two-day workshop was for the regional and local actors to talk about current opportunities and challenges in rolling-out and scaling-up Hydrogen Valleys in Europe. More than 150 people attended the workshop on each day, showing the increasing interest towards the topic.

Bart Biebuyck, Executive Director of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, opened the workshop and introduced the work that the partnership – and its predecessor, the FCH JU – started with regions back in 2017, which led to the establishment of the H2 Valley Partnership, and the launch of initiatives such as the Project Development Assistance for the regions (PDA), as well as the inclusion of H2 Valleys as topics of the last calls for Proposals (starting with Call 2019).
