Hydrogen Tour: Establishing synergies between the Stronghouse and HyTrEc2 projects

What steps are needed to further develop green hydrogen as a viable alternative to natural gas for home heating? To find more answers, the province of Drenthe together with the municipality of Hoogeveen.

On the 29th-30th of March 2023, the province of Drenthe together with the municipality of Hoogeveen are organising a two-day hydrogen-themed expedition in the northern Netherlands and Germany, within the context of the Interreg North Sea Region Stronghouse project. The tour will start and end in the city of Groningen.
 
In this hydrogen bus tour, participants will also have the opportunity to visit the Groningen Airport Eelde, where participants will receive an insider's look into the development of the converted hydrogen-powered ground power unit (H-GPU), which is being retrofitted as part of the HyTrEc2 project.

Partners of the Interreg North Sea Region HyTrEc2 project have also been invited to exchange knowledge on hydrogen and its various applications in sustainable housing.
