Rotterdam Officials Sign MOU to host World Hydrogen 2022 Summit & Exhibition
Jeannette Baljeu, Regional Minister for Transition of Port and Industry: “The province of Zuid-Holland sees an important role for hydrogen to meet our climate goals. Hydrogen will be an essential part of the transition to a green economy. Therefore, we have joined forces with various partners in Europe’s Hydrogen Hub Zuid-holland; a triple helix collaboration that strives for a clean hydrogen economy. This summit is the perfect opportunity to extend collaboration and share knowledge with governments and business on an international level.”
Arno Bonte, Vice-Mayor for Sustainability, Clean Air and Energy Transition: “Hydrogen plays a crucial role in our energy transition. Rotterdam has already taken major steps in developing production, transportation and use of hydrogen, and our future ambitions are even bigger. The World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam is an opportunity to exchange the best hydrogen solutions in order to renew our economy and fight the climate crisis effectively.”
Allard Castelein, CEO Port of Rotterdam: “Rotterdam’s existing ecosystem of hydrogen off-takers, its existing tank terminals, its world class companies, its international network and its ambitious plans and proven track record of developing world-class facilities, will work as an accelerator for hydrogen activities. An annual summit and exhibition about actual developments is a logical addition to this."
Chris Hugall, Managing Director, Sustainable Energy Council (SEC): “SEC is very proud of our ongoing partnership with the Province, City and Port of Rotterdam to deliver the 3rd edition of the World Hydrogen 2022 Summit & Exhibition, the only large-scale hydrogen event with their official support. At this crucial time for the hydrogen industry, we invite the international community to join us at World Hydrogen 2022 to witness the advancements & make key connections to continue this important drive towards a sustainable energy transition.”
