Description

Hydrogen is rapidly gaining attention as a fuel, feedstock, and energy carrier with applications in mobility, industry, construction, power and buildings. It plays vital role in the EU Green Deal, the European Hydrogen Strategy and the Luxembourg PNDD (Plan National pour un développement durable), where the reduction of carbon emissions is urgent. Standards are key to ensure safety, interoperability and sustainability across hydrogen value chain. This awareness session offers an overview of hydrogen technologies, the relevant international standards, and their links to European and national strategies. It also highlights how Luxembourg stakeholders can actively contribute to international and European standardization activities through ILNAS, in alignment with the Luxembourg Standardization Strategy 2024–2030.
