SUMMARY:Australia-Germany Hydrogen and Energy Forum
DESCRIPTION:Australia–German Hydrogen and Energy Forum: Research and industry hand in hand sends a strong signal for international cooperation in the field of hydrogen and sustainable energy. The forum brings together stakeholders from research\, industry and politics in Australia\, Germany and Saxony to tap into joint innovation potential\, promote technology transfer and develop new partnerships along sustainable energy and value chains. \nThe governments of Australia and of the Federal Republic of Germany share the common goal of reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and decarbonising their economies.
