Workshop

Innovations on Hydrogen-based Processes & Technologies

In the framework of the 9th edition of the International Hydrogen Technologies Congress – IHTEC2025, the Workshop entitled ‘Innovations on Hydrogen-based Processes & Technologies’ is organized with the purpose of illustrating the latest development on Hydrogen technologies proposed in selected relevant International & European  projects, with the further intent to bring the academicians, researchers, scientists, policy makers, and students to realize new collaborations among universities, industrial partners, and governments. In this regard, further scope of this special session will be the illustration of the role of Hydrogen Energy/Economy in the transition from a carbon-based to a decarbonized and circular economy, useful to make the sustainable development reliable.

Workshop Topics:

  • Hydrogen and fuel cells technologies
  • Renewable, clean and sustainable hydrogen production
  • Membrane technologies, Process Intensification and Industrial applications
  • Carbon capture, storage & utilization
  • Hydrogen storage, safety and utilization in transportation
  • Renewable Sources utilization in the Circular Economy
