Maison Minatec, 3 parvis Louis Néel, GrenobleAs part of the program Grenoble European Green Capital, Air Liquide, the CEA and Giant organised an event in Grenoble, from the 18th to the 21st of May 2022, focusing on hydrogen technologies and their applications to decarbonise both industry and transport.
Grenoble is a particularly dynamic area for the development of hydrogen, with several leading actors (manufacturers, researchers, start-ups, instutions…). This event was well received by local politicians, with the presence of Eric Piolle, Mayor of Grenoble, and Hélène Craye, Head of the Clean Energy Transition Unit at the European Commission.
Energy Observer Foundation took part in an exhibition, open to the general public and pupils, aimed at demonstrating the value chain of hydrogen from production to its application for industry and clean mobility. On this occasion, EOF raised awareness among more than 300 high school students about its actions and the potential of hydrogen.
Victorien Erussard, CEO and Founder of Energy Observer, took part in the conference “Decarbonising heavy transport”, alongside industry figures:

In the run-up to the design and construction of a freighter piloted by Energy Observer, studies will be carried out with the TE2M institute to validate the technologies, which will be integrated aboard this versatile cargo ship.
