- Event 12 April 2023 How Green is “Green Hydrogen”? The differences between Green, Low-Carbon and Renewable Hydrogen (Webinar) There are various ways in which Hydrogen can be produced, with corresponding differences in environmental impact. These differences are classified as Hydrogen Colours, though these do not equate to a clear difference in greenhouse emissions. Hence a plethora of related terms like “Renewable Hydrogen”, “Low-Carbon Hydrogen” and “Clean Hydrogen” are often used. It is therefore important to ask the following questions, which we will cover in this presentation: Is “Green Hydrogen” a standard term,…
- Event 7 April 2023 Empowering the energy transition: energy cooperatives and energy communities (Webinar) Although a nascent business model, today energy cooperatives and energy communities cover already a wide range of activities in renewable energies and energy efficiency in several countries. These are local and citizen-led initiatives that put in common investment means and democratic principles to implement the energy transition. Decentralized renewables and small-scale energy efficiency can quickly materialise and become a solution to energy security and to decarbonisation, and benefit from…
