Welcome to Hydrogen Research Forum Finland's annual seminar hosted at Aalto University. The 2024 seminar focuses on hydrogen production through electrolysis and brings together academics with industry. Four academic sessions will be complemented by a dedicated industry session and a poster session.
Hydrogen Research Forum Finland is a research-based forum established in response to the need for free and independent discussion and cooperation in hydrogen transition and research.
In 2024, the Forum will focus upon clean hydrogen production, through electrolysis, considering new material, optimization of electrolyzers in line with variable Renewable electricity production, and system level analysis of green hydrogen production within the overall hydrogen value chain.
