Four days of energy policy cooperation in Brussels – The European Hydrogen Week took place for the third time in Belgium from November 18 to 21, 2024. Organized by Hydrogen Europe, the European hydrogen association, a total of 220 exhibitors and, during the conference, numerous stakeholders presented their projects and concerns in the two exhibition halls.

Unlike other H2 events in Hamburg, Rotterdam or Hanover, the focus in the European capital was on energy policy issues. There were relatively few exhibits on show at the trade fair, and hardly any components or products, but there were some comparatively large stands – at least by H2 industry standards – where there was plenty of space for networking and conceptual discussions.

The conference, which was integrated into the exhibition hall, focused on political demands, regional flagship projects and international cooperation, among other things. More than 200 speakers presented proposals and debated in 25 panel sessions on the need for H2 underground storage facilities, better links between the H2 sector and the energy sector, deregulation and better framework conditions for making final investment decisions.

Among other things, Hydrogen Europe signed cooperation agreements with both H2 Chile and the Green Hydrogen Association (GH2) from India to facilitate cross-industry and public-private exchange between the European Union and these two countries.

In 2025, this event will take place from September 29 to October 3.
