WG2: 1st Expert Meeting on Green Hydrogen

Within the framework of WG2 (Hydrogen), a digital expert workshop on the topic of "Green Hydrogen for Decarbonisation" took place on 8 June 2021. A total of 40 participants, including representatives of both partner ministries and relevant companies, took the opportunity to exchange ideas on policy approaches to promote the market ramp-up of green hydrogen as well as thematic priorities and ideas for possible joint cooperation projects. On 28 June 2021, the annual high-level steering group meeting also took place, which set the direction for this year's energy partnership work. Within the framework of WG1 (energy transition), the exchange will focus on the three topics of offshore wind, energy management and digitalisation, and energy efficiency in industry. Within the framework of WG1, a follow-up to the expert workshop in June on possible hydrogen cooperation projects between companies in both countries is planned. Other thematic focal points include the use of hydrogen to decarbonise industry and the transport sector, as well as possible projects in third countries.
