Hydrogen is not what we could call an innovation neither a new idea, as Jules Verne described a dreamed world energized with water more than a century ago. But production from water and use as an energy carriage are full of technical and economic difficulties and pitfalls.

What have changed now and lead to focus on H2 and spend billions of euros – just to mention Europe – amongst a real worldwide strategic competition?

SEE Storage Technical Club propose to present and discuss the current situation with high level panelists describing their visions and projects.

This event will be held in english, as organised for and with international students of INSEAD. It will be open to on-line attendance for others participants who have pre-registered.
