Join us for an interesting event titled "Accelerating the transition to green hydrogen in heavy transport". This 90-minute session will explore the potential of green hydrogen for decarbonizing the heavy transport sector and its crucial role in achieving a sustainable and competitive European hydrogen market by 2030.
Date: Tuesday, June 10, 2025
Time: 14:45 - 16:15 CET
Location: House of the Dutch Provinces, Rue de Treves 59-61, 1040, Brussels

Why attend?
Green hydrogen is a game-changer for the heavy-duty transport sector, offering solutions for energy balancing, storage and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the sector still faces significant challenges in production, usage, transportation, distribution and cost. This event will address these challenges head-on, exploring strategies to scale up hydrogen fueling infrastructure and green hydrogen production through advanced electrolysis technologies.
Key event topics:
- Hydrogen supply and demand chain: Understanding the dynamics and optimising the flow from production to end-use
- Effective regulation and safety: Ensuring robust policies and safety standards to foster public trust and acceptance
- Public and private investments: Highlighting the importance of investments in infrastructure, technology and human capital to drive innovation and market growth
- Cost competitiveness for heavy-duty vehicles: Discussion of policies, subsidies and economies of scale to reduce costs and boost demand
- Hydrogen infrastructure: Strategizing the geographic placement of refuelling stations for optimal accessibility and efficiency in a sustainable hydrogen-powered transport system
Program with panel discussions and speakers
Our event will be moderated by Ioannis Moraitis, Director of Coordination of Hydrogen Europe. He talks briefly about Hydrogen Europe.
This will be followed by a presentation on LIFE NEW HYTS by Daniël Bakker, followed by Nikolaos Ntavos presenting LIFE GREENH2ORN.
The interactive panel discussion features speakers from diverse geographic and professional backgrounds:
Panel 1: infrastructure and vehicles
- Aivars Starikovs is a board member of Hydrogen Europe and head of the Latvian Hydrogen Association. He will share insights on the JIVE H2 bus roadshows.
- André Beukers is CEO of E-Trucks Europe H2 and brings the perspective of hydrogen vehicle manufacturers.
- Julie Jo Nygaard is project manager at STRING and shares insights on setting up a corridor of H2 gas stations.
Panel 2: role of national and European grants and policies
- Karin Smit Jacobs is EU Representative of the Province of Utrecht and EU Ambassador for Diversity at DG MOVE.
- Nikolaos Ntavos, co-founder and manager of CluBE, brings expertise at the EU level through GreenSkills4H2, Hy2Market, LIFE GREENH2ORN and serves as national correspondent at the EU Hydrogen Observatory.
- Daniel Bakker is coordinator of the LIFE NEW HYTS project. He works as researcher energy and water at the KWR Water Research Institute, a leading institute with international network.
