The Portuguese city of Sines will host on **March 10, 2026** the I Hispano-Luso Green Hydrogen Forum, a gathering of experts, companies, institutions, and energy sector stakeholders to analyze the opportunities offered by this energy vector in the ecological transition of the Iberian Peninsula.

The forum is part of the activities of the Futuretech_H2 project, a European initiative aimed at promoting technological development and the green hydrogen industry in Spain and Portugal. This project is co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg VI-A Spain–Portugal (POCTEP) 2021–2027 program, which fosters territorial cooperation between the two countries.

A meeting to strengthen the green hydrogen ecosystem

The forum aims to create a space for cross-border dialogue and cooperation among companies, technology centers, universities, and public administrations, with the goal of boosting the development of the green hydrogen economy in the Iberian region.

During the day, key topics will be addressed, such as: the role of green hydrogen in industrial decarbonization, opportunities for technological innovation and knowledge transfer, development of energy and logistics infrastructure, and opportunities for training and employment linked to this emerging industry.

Green hydrogen is positioned as one of the pillars of the energy transition, especially in industrial and transport sectors that are difficult to electrify. Therefore, initiatives like this forum aim to bring the real applications of this technology closer to businesses and society, while promoting new economic and professional opportunities.

Iberian cooperation for clean energy

The forum is part of the Futuretech_H2 cross-border roadshow, a series of events traveling through different cities in Spain and Portugal to showcase the industrial and technological potential of green hydrogen and promote collaboration between the two countries.

The choice of Sines, one of Portugal’s main energy and industrial hubs, reinforces the strategic role of southwestern Europe in developing new value chains linked to clean energy.

With this first forum, the organizers aim to consolidate a stable space for Hispano-Luso cooperation that contributes to positioning the Iberian Peninsula as one of Europe’s future hubs for green hydrogen production and development.
