Reducing carbon emissions is more important than ever before and the industrial sector plays a significant role in contributing to carbon emissions.
Finding innovative solutions to reduce these emissions is crucial. Enter fossil-free hydrogen. This game-changing technology has the potential to revolutionize the industry and drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions in a number of ways.
Not only can hydrogen contribute to energy storage and replace fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and fossil gas, but it can also replace fossil materials in various industrial processes.
The HYBRIT collaboration between Vattenfall, LKAB, and SSAB, we've seen firsthand how a hydrogen storage facility can not only help reduce carbon emissions, but also drastically cut production costs. Join us as we explore the exciting world of fossil-free hydrogen!
Please pre-register as the number of seats is limited.
A light lunch will be served.
