Hydrogen energy is an important strategic choice to accelerate clean and low-carbon energy transformation and foster new economic growth points. The development and utilization of hydrogen energy represented by fuel cells is an important strategic direction of the energy transition.
With the global energy clean and low-carbon transition, the China-Africa Hydrogen Forum, as part of the International Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Congress (FCVC), is initiated by the International Hydrogen Fuel Cell Association(IHFCA). The China-Africa Forum will be held online from 14:00 to 17:00 on September 14, inviting representatives from the government, industry, university and research sectors of China and Africa to discuss, with the commitment to promoting China- Africa’s exchanges and cooperation in the field of hydrogen energy, building a China-Africa exchange and cooperation platform covering the whole industrial chain, optimizing China-Africa’s technical standards and rules, promoting information sharing and open science, and promoting the technological progress and commercialization of hydrogen energy in China and Africa.
FCVC is the premier international summit in China for the hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) and auto industries, and the agenda and participation link of China-Africa Forum is now unveiled as shown. We invite all sectors of the community to participate the Forum.
