𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗥𝗪 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱’𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 🌍 #NRWGlobalBusiness is happy to partner with the German-Finnish Business Forum in Düsseldorf, organized by AHK Finnland in collaboration with IHK Düsseldorf. The event brought together high-ranking representatives from business and politics of both countries to discuss 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 and explore cooperation opportunities! 💡 Did you know? Finland has set an ambitious goal of covering 10% of Europe's green hydrogen demand by 2030, marking a significant milestone for the European hydrogen economy. #NRW on the other hand is at the forefront of hydrogen innovation in Germany. With its strong industrial base and commitment to sustainability, NRW is poised to become a key player in the hydrogen economy. Both regions' strategic initiatives and investments in hydrogen technology are paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Excellent prospects to greatly benefit from each other's potential - let’s continue driving forward post-fossil energy and strengthening German-Finnish cooperation! 🤝 #DFBF24 #NRWorldWide #NRWGlobal #EuropesHeartbeat Joakim Strand Staatskanzlei des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen Silke Krebs Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Industrie, Klimaschutz und Energie des Landes NRW Jan Feller Alexander Bargum IHK Düsseldorf International IHK Nord Westfalen Business Finland Felix Neugart Dagmar Wülknitz Bety Chu Michael Kordus Anna Kim

Great to be a part of Hydrogen Metropole Ruhr's European Backbone Talk in Brussels last Tuesday! Rotterdam places major importance on a European hydrogen infrastructure, and it's great to see that so many other regions share this perspective - North Rhine-Westphalia, Flanders, Catalonia, Hauts-de-France, the list goes on... It was very interesting to discuss this in our panel and in the workshops. A particular priority of the City of Rotterdam is working on a broad hydrogen ecosystem. This includes large scale import, local production and use in industry, but also technology development, trading platforms, business services and education. We need it all if we want to make this hydrogen moonshot happen. Europe shares this perspective, as evidenced by instruments like the Just Transition Fund and the Hydrogen Valley Platform - and we need to keep this approach going after the upcoming European elections. #EuropesHydrogenHub Wouter Demenint Klaas van Staalduine Anne S.

Financing the Green Economy: The Hydrogen Cases of the Nordics The ambitions for the future role of hydrogen in a net zero scenario are high. On national and international level alike, strategies have been announced setting targets for electrolyzing capacity several 100 times higher than what is currently installed. In the Nordics as well as Europe, the private sector has been following up on these strategies, developing concrete project plans corresponding to - or even exceeding national and European goals. Only a small fraction of these projects have however made it to the final investment decision (FID). Even fewer are under construction or have already been commissioned. Making hydrogen projects bankable and achieving a #FID have proven critical hurdles for the European Hydrogen Economy. Key factors include securing partnerships with established stakeholders and demonstrating both technological feasibility and market demand. During the New Energy Coalition event #WindmeetsGas2024, visitors to our common #NordicsNL session got to hear 4 successful recent cases from the Nordics. The focus was on which key elements that are needed to drive the #hydrogen economy forward. Cases: Marielle Furnes Mannseth, Group Brand & Sustainability Officer, Norwegian Hydrogen Christoph Zinsser, Head of Project Finance, Stegra Herkko Plit, CEO, P2X Solutions Oy Simon Gerling, Head of Business Unit – Netherlands, European Energy Viktor Markelin, CFA Nordic Investment Bank Moderator: Nienke Homan - Thanks for an excellent session yet again 👏 The Ambassadors of the Nordics in the Netherlands received the special report "Current and potential future energy exchange relations between the Nordics, Baltics and the Netherlands", written by Catrinus Jepma, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (University of Groningen) and Miralda van Schot, Port of Amsterdam.
