Bergen Hydrogen Seminar 2025: Safety and Public Acceptance
March 12 at 12:00 – 16:00
The Norwegian maritime industry is a world leader in developing and adopting solutions for hydrogen, ammonia, and other hydrogen-based fuels. How is the industry working to manage the risks and ensure the public’s trust in these technologies?
Join us at the Bergen Hydrogen Seminar during the climate festival Varmere Våtere Villere in Bergen. Together with leading industry players, we’ll explore:
- How are hydrogen and ammonia producers working to ensure safety and public trust?
- What should shipowners consider when preparing vessels and crews to adopt hydrogen-based fuels?
- How are technology providers developing safe solutions for bunkering and using hydrogen-based fuels?
- What is the status of national and international regulations for the use of hydrogen-based fuels?
You’ll hear from producers, technology developers, maritime end-users and regulators, covering both compressed and liquid hydrogen, liquid organic hydrogen carriers, and ammonia fuel. This is the go-to event to get the latest updates on ongoing developments and discuss the pressing challenges for scaling up clean energy solutions in the maritime sector.
