Part of Wind Meets Gas 2025
As Europe accelerates its energy transition, ports are becoming critical enablers of the hydrogen economy. This session, hosted by the NSH2V Ports project during Wind Meets Gas 2025, will highlight how cross-border collaboration is transforming policy ambitions into practical maritime solutions.
Through concrete case studies and expert discussion, the session will explore how major European ports are working together on scalable hydrogen infrastructure, shared safety protocols, and vessel-ready bunkering systems. With over 30 partners across four port regions, NSH2V Ports demonstrates the power of collaboration in unlocking a zero-emission maritime future.
Key themes include:
- The strategic role of Maritime Hydrogen Valleys in EU harbors and energy policy
- How to deal with new molecules, including storage, vessel design, and bunkering infrastructure
- Organizing scalable port collaboration across sectors and regions
With keynote speakers from across the sector, like Roel Salden (CEO, Port of Den Helder) and Jesper Bank (CCO, Port of Esbjerg), the session will combine strategic insights with practical examples from ongoing projects in the Netherlands, Denmark, and beyond.
(Additional panelists to be announced)
This session is designed for policymakers, port authorities, technology providers, industry leaders and anyone else seeking to understand the future of maritime hydrogen through real-world examples and collaborative approaches.
Join us at Wind Meets Gas 2025 and be part of shaping Europe’s hydrogen-maritime transition.
