The Embassy of Canada in Berlin and the National Research Council of Canada, in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada, will be hosting a free virtual event, “A Carbon Free Fuel: Hydrogen Can,” at Falling Walls/Berlin Science Week on November 6th, 2020.
Hydrogen is a versatile carbon-free chemical fuel that could serve as an energy vector in many industries.
This event will feature a panel of Canadian and German experts from industry, government, and academia who will speak on the promise of a hydrogen-powered low-carbon future. Following the panel discussion, a hydrogen Science Slam contest will feature early-career researchers and entrepreneurs showcasing their cutting-edge hydrogen technologies.
Tune-in to learn all about hydrogen, how it is produced, transported, and used, and why it could be the low-carbon replacement for fossil fuels as we transition to a renewable future.
Date: Friday, November 6, 2020
Time: 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. EST // 3:30 p.m. – 5 p.m. CET
