On 22 December 2020, a seminar on Green Hydrogen – the Future of Sustainable Energy will be held as part of a cycle Energy and Sustainable Development organized by the Institute of Energy and Sustainable Development of ISU School of Business, Technology and Education.

About the Seminar

The production and use of green hydrogen for the mitigation of climate changes has recently become a popular global trend. Storage of green hydrogen and its use for balancing the grid may lead to a substantial increase in the share of renewable energy to replace fossil fuels and the related pollutant emissions. Engaging in the international leadership race in this regard, EU and many countries worldwide have developed comprehensive strategies and action plans and allocated huge financial resources to support technological research and development of policies and business processes.

The so-called green hydrogen will make the topic of the seminar. The presentations will draw on the latest evidence to discuss the following issues:

• Hydrogen production, storage, transportation and utilization technologies;
• Use of hydrogen in transport, industry and energy sectors;
• Supporting the development of green hydrogen and renewable energy; 
• Green hydrogen development: global processes and trends; 
• Prospects of hydrogen in Georgia – its potential role in increasing energy and economic security.
