Strong international interest for the H2 Conference Norway

The energy transition is both an international project and a shared responsibility.

That reality will be on full display at the H2 Conference Norway, where attendees from eight countries – with more expected to join in the coming weeks – will gather in Stavanger on 11 September to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping Europe’s hydrogen future.

Participants from Norway, Poland, Germany, Finland, Belgium, Denmark and Scotland are already confirmed. We will also receive a delegation from Groningen in the Netherlands, host region for the first EU Hydrogen Valley Project.

Groningen is also the destination for Equinor’s first hydrogen project outside Norway: Blue hydrogen production in Eemshaven, with the potential for CO₂ capture and injection in reservoirs on the Norwegian continental shelf.

These cross-border plans illustrate how tightly linked Europe’s energy transition has become, and why international dialogue like the one at H2 Conference Norway is essential.

In the opening session, “Framing the Hydrogen Transition,” Gouke Moes, Regional Minister of the Province of Groningen, will provide a high-level outlook on the European hydrogen landscape.

The session sets the stage for the conference by exploring how, while progress has slowed in some areas, others continue to accelerate - creating a mixed but evolving picture.

The Eemshaven plans, alongside Norway’s ambitions for hydrogen production and carbon storage, show how projects can build on each other across borders: Norwegian reservoirs could store Dutch CO₂, while hydrogen from the Netherlands could play a role in European supply chains.

H2 Conference Norway provides the meeting point for these conversations.

Join us on 11 September, when industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators from across Europe gather to shape the future of hydrogen in the energy transition.
