In the search for the Holy Grail of sustainability

In the quest for the Holy Grail of sustainability, a crucial question arises: how much energy does Europe and the world really need? This quest often resembles an adventure akin to Indiana Jones, where courage and expertise like that of Noa von Hulst, one of the foremost international experts on energy sustainability, are required. Noa will guide us through the complex path to energy neutrality, a journey dependent on broad support from political leaders, industry, and the wider public. In the lecture, he will explore various aspects of sustainability, shedding light on the amount of energy we need and posing the question: Can we become completely energy-neutral? The importance of the “clean hydrogen” topic, this international expert’s specialty, can also be seen in his statement: “In the coming months, we will hear much more about policies to promote the creation of a single market for clean hydrogen in Europe. The future of clean hydrogen has already begun…” This lecture not only illuminates current issues surrounding energy neutrality but also encourages us to engage collectively towards a sustainable tomorrow. See you on the journey that will change our perspective on the energy future!
