Webinar: NSH2V Ports Kick-off – From plan to practice
In the North Sea region, ports are moving from planning to implementation. During our NSH2V Ports online kick-off, we'll align the objectives, results, and the role of the Regional Interest Group (RIG), and hear directly from partner ports about what this means for their ports.
About the webinar
This kick-off brings together the RIGs of our ten project partners and connects you with stakeholders from more than seven European countries driving the hydrogen transition in ports. Your participation is crucial: within the RIG, governance and operations converge. Here, lessons learned from terminals, ship owners, governments, and suppliers are transformed into shared standards, practical tools, and repeatable use cases that can scale from Bremen, Brest, Esbjerg, and Den Helder to the wider region. This webinar is part of the North Sea Hydrogen Valley Ports project and is taught in English.
