Hydrogen has a central role in the implementation of the European Green Deal. This is manifested in the EU Hydrogen Strategy and further underlined in the ambition for renewable hydrogen in RePower EU and many other actions.
The conflict in Ukraine has put extra stress on the energy market and corresponding implications for the price of natural gas and electricity, rattling the previous established approaches and must be considered in future policies.

• How can regional hydrogen projects help mitigate some of the challenges and help reaching the climate objectives?
• How can already existing natural gas infrastructure help support this?
• And what are the current understanding from research to the conditions under which renewable hydrogen would outcompete natural gas in the current market?

These and many more questions will be raised and discussed during an evening from the background of current and forthcoming policies for the energy transition.
