🚆🌿 Extremadura: Towards Sustainable Mobility with the First Hydrogen Generator for High Speed Trains #Extremadura #GreenHydrogen #SustainableMobility 🌱 Hello! Today we'll tell you about Extremadura's exciting developments in the field of sustainable mobility, with plans to host the world's first hydrogen plant designed specifically for high-speed trains. 🔋 Green hydrogen has become an increasingly popular alternative to drive sustainable mobility, and Extremadura is determined to lead this change. The region is working hard to establish the world's first hydrogen infrastructure for high-speed trains. 🚄 This innovative hydrogen plant is expected to be operational by mid-2026, marking a significant milestone in the transition to cleaner and more environmentally friendly transport. 🏞️ Extremadura is evaluating three possible locations for the hydrogen plant: Expacio Navalmoral de la Mata, Expacio Mérida and the Badajoz Logistics Platform. Whichever site is chosen, this initiative promises to boost the local economy and position Extremadura as a benchmark in the fight against climate change. 🌍 This exciting project demonstrates Extremadura's commitment to a more sustainable and green future, where high-speed public transport can operate efficiently and without leaving a footprint on the environment. 🔗 Source: https://bit.ly/48i2TCl .

#Lublin is taking another leap into a greener future by commencing the construction of the first-ever hydrogen station in the #Lubelskie Voivodeship! 🚗🚌💨 PAK-PCE Polski Autobus Wodorowy has officially begun building an external hydrogen station adjacent to the bus depot on Grygowa Street. This station, scheduled for completion by June 2024, ensures the use of "green" hydrogen sourced from renewable energy! 🌱🔄 The station will be accessible to the public, offering convenience for anyone looking to refuel with hydrogen in Lublin. But that's not all – this initiative is a pivotal step towards initiating a tender for the purchase of hydrogen-powered buses by the City of Lublin. Municipal Transport Company (MPK) Lublin has applied for full funding from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management for twenty 12-meter hydrogen-fueled buses. The funding covers 100% of the project, with a total value of 80 million PLN. ✅♻️ The expansion of hydrogen transport and the establishment of vital refuelling infrastructure align with Lublin's 2030 Strategy, which focuses on diversifying energy sources and creating a sustainable, zero-emission transportation system—user-friendly and environmentally neutral. This initiative reflects Lublin's commitment to eco-friendly mobility and a cleaner future. 🌍🚗 For more details, check out 👉 https://lnkd.in/drQ3bTV5 and Mariusz Sagan, PhD Robert Żyśko Przemysław Gruba Dorota Wolińska-Pietrzak Marcin Garbowski Marzena Strok-Sadło Marta Sztandarska Oliwia Wójtowicz Sławomir Roszczenko Maciej Nietopiel ZE PAK SA Gospodarczy Lublin Narodowy Fundusz Ochrony Środowiska i Gospodarki Wodnej

🌍 Islands Leading the EU #EnergyTransition! Islands face unique challenges in the shift to #RenewableEnergy, from limited grid connections to seasonal energy demand spikes. Yet, these challenges offer an opportunity for innovative #Decarbonisation solutions with significant energy, environmental, and socio-economic benefits. 🏝️⚡ The #ISLETproject is at the forefront of these efforts, exploring island-specific solutions, and speeding up the EU's broader #EnergyTransition. At the upcoming Sustainable Places Conference workshop, projects like #ISLET, NESOI - The European Island Facility, IANOS H2020 project, REACT Project EU, RE-EMPOWERED EU-India Project, #SMHYLES, #StepWise, #LocalRES, and Masterpiece will join forces to share their insights, innovations, and technical outcomes. 📅 September 24, 9:00 AM ➡️ https://buff.ly/4ed2ogC Join us in reinforcing the synergies created among these projects as we look to the future 🚀

🔝The Finnova Foundation prepares to attend the European Sustainable Energy Week 2024 🇪🇺Sessions organised by the European Commission will take place in a hybrid format (both in Brussels and online) between 11-13 of June, with gatherings with energy stakeholders focusing on sustainable energy issues and debating new policy developments, best practices and sustainable energy ideas. 💪Finnova will attend representing the RES4CITY and LIFE ECOdigestion 2.0 projects. 🤝RES4CITY will have its stand at this event (stand M-5), a unique opportunity for networking and engagement with international organisations, university associations, national and local authorities, professional associations, NGOs working in the field of sustainable development, consumer associations, research organisations, EU-funded projects, and EU institutions. 📍We look forward to seeing you at Martin's Brussels EU Hotel (Boulevard Charlemagne 80). 🏙️ RES4CITY, a 2.5 million € project financed by Horizon Europe, promotes the development of sustainable renewable energy and fuel technologies in cities through the deployment of an innovative educational program to develop highly qualified human capital. 💧Finnova will also take advantage of the opportunity to create valuable synergies that may be interested in learning more about LIFE ECOdigestion 2.0. Budgeted at 970.000 €, the aim is the generation of biogas in water treatment plant digesters by mixing putrescible organic waste, thus enabling the transformation of sewage treatment plant sludge into green energy through technology. #EUSEW #EUSEW2024 #sustainableenergy #europeanunion Juanma Revuelta Juan Viesca Adrián Noheda Ph.
