Green WaHyVe - The Walloon hydrogen Valley
Country
Belgium
The project is align with the region strategy: develop the hydrogen value chain with a focus on certain key elements of our region. Wallonia benefits from a strategic location for high mobility and a concentration of industries to decarbonize. This project aims to develop the hydrogen ecosystem around a project of green H2 production project associated with the use of this green molecule in trucks and barges. A potential use in industries is also investigated.
