Hydrogen technologies and standardisation: building a decarbonised future

On Monday, 1 December 2025, ILNAS is organising a free information session aimed at providing the national market with an overview of hydrogen technologies, as a key driver in building a decarbonised future. The event also highlights the technical standardisation activities that support the development of these technologies at both European and international levels.

Hydrogen is gaining global recognition for its versatility as a fuel, feedstock, energy carrier, and storage solution, with applications spanning industries such as mobility, energy, and manufacturing. Its standout advantage lies in its near-zero emissions of CO₂ and other air pollutants, making it a key solution for sectors striving to achieve significant carbon reductions. However, the safe production, handling, and storage of hydrogen remain critical aspects to address as adoption accelerates.
This information session is tailored to provide a well-rounded understanding of hydrogen technologies, focusing on the intricacies of hydrogen production, safety considerations, key challenges in adoption, market developments, future trends, and the evolving landscape of technical standards.
