Hydrogen & Carbon Capture Synergies: Accelerating Baltic-German Cooperation

As part of the Hydrogen Technology World Expo 2025 in Hamburg, a dedicated satellite event will unite researchers, innovators, industry leaders, and policymakers from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Germany to explore the synergies between hydrogen and carbon capture technologies. This networking and matchmaking gathering will take place at the Hamburg Messe und Congress on 21 October 2025, from 10:00 to 13:30 CET.

The event is jointly supported by partners from the Baltic States and Germany and is designed to strengthen cross-border collaboration, aligning with the objectives of the European Green Deal and Horizon Europe. By highlighting national innovation ecosystems, presenting funding opportunities, and fostering dialogue, it aims to build bridges between science, business, and policy communities.

Participants will discuss emerging developments in hydrogen and carbon capture, with a strong focus on strategic opportunities under the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking and Horizon Europe Cluster 5 (Climate, Energy, and Mobility). The programme will include national presentations, an interactive Idea Lab to facilitate matchmaking and consortium building, and a networking reception.
