HYDROGEN ROUND TABLE
To reach the carbon neutrality goals in 2050 and 2060, hydrogen is a hot topic the Netherlands and China. For switching to a hydrogen economy, there are still has many questions to solve and issues to tackle. What are the main issues that China is facing, what is the current strategy & policy and where are the opportunities Dutch hydrogen companies on the Chinese market?
The Netherlands Innovation Network in China and the Consulate of the Netherlands in Guangzhou are organizing this round table session to find answers to these questions and more.
