Six days to go: Join the JUST-GREEN AFRH2ICA Training Event in Rabat, a deep dive
into the future of Green Hydrogen
The JUST-GREEN AFRH2ICA is just six days away and it promises to be a pivotal gathering for those interested in the future of green hydrogen and its potential to reshape Africa’s energy landscape.
On January 15th, this exclusive event will take place in Rabat, Morocco, offering a unique opportunity to explore the latest advancements in green hydrogen technologies, discuss Africa’s growing role in the global energy transition, and collaborate with leading experts, researchers, and practitioners from across Europe and Africa.
The JUST-GREEN AFRH2ICA Training Event will focus on several critical aspects of the green hydrogen transition, including technological advancements, the role of local expertise, and the potential for economic development. As green hydrogen can drive sustainable economic growth, especially in Africa, developing a skilled workforce will be essential to unlocking these opportunities. This event will be an essential platform for sharing knowledge, building collaborations, and addressing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
The event will feature a comprehensive agenda, providing attendees with a deep understanding of the state of the art in green hydrogen technologies and how these can be applied to Africa’s specific energy needs. Here are some of the key topics that will be covered:
- Julie Mougin (CEA) will lead the session on the cutting-edge advancements in green hydrogen production technologies, focusing on new methods for efficient, large-scale production and the potential applications for Africa. This session will provide an overview of how the latest technologies are poised to revolutionize the energy sector across the continent.
- Stefano Barberis (UNIGE) will present on the usage technologies of green hydrogen, with a specific focus on their application in Morocco. This session will explore how hydrogen can be integrated into Morocco’s existing energy system and how it can support the country’s transition to a low-carbon future.
- Amin Lahnaoui (JULICH) will present the H2Atlas approach, a unique methodology for modeling the potential of green hydrogen in Africa, particularly in relation to the critical water needs that come with hydrogen production. This session will highlight the challenges and opportunities involved in balancing hydrogen production with water resource management, an essential consideration in many African regions.
- Sidonie Résillot (ARTELYS) will delve into how African green hydrogen exports could play a pivotal role in shaping Europe’s energy future. As Europe looks to diversify its energy sources, African hydrogen could help meet Europe’s growing energy demands while contributing to its decarbonization goals. This session will explore the geopolitical, economic, and environmental impacts of such a transition.
- Antonio Tuzio (STAM) will discuss the manufacturing and expertise roadmap for Africa’s green hydrogen transition. The focus will be on developing local capabilities to manufacture hydrogen-related technologies, creating job opportunities, and fostering the growth of a skilled workforce across the continent.
- A series of case studies from the JUST-GREEN AFRH2ICA project will be presented by experts, including Philimon Modisha (NWU), Izael Da Silva (STRATH), and Oussama Bayssi (IRESEN), to highlight the role of hydrogen hubs as foundational projects in Africa’s green hydrogen future.
This event is designed to stimulate knowledge development among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, facilitating collaboration across borders and sectors. The training will help participants gain the skills and insights necessary to contribute to Africa’s green hydrogen transition and ensure that local economies can fully benefit from the opportunities presented by green hydrogen.
