The IMDEA Energy Institute participated in the “3rd Edition of Green Hydrogen – Renewable Gases for the Energy Transition”, held at the Bertelesmann Space in Madrid on 25 April 2025.

The event, organized by Prensa Ibérica, focused on renewable gases, produced from renewable sources and waste, and their contribution to reducing the volume and enviromental impact of waste, as well as to the ecological transition by advancing towards carbon neutrality and promoting the devlopment of a circular economy. The agenda addressed both business prospects and future technologies related to biogas and biomethane, renewable gases in recent years.

In summary, the programme emphasised the extraordinary enviromental impact of renewable gases due to the reduction of waste, air pollutants and greenhouse gases, as well as the social and economic benefits they undoubtedly bring to rural areas. The event brought together experts from various organistaions across the hydrogen and sustainable gases value chain, including generation, distribution, marketing and user companies, investors, market agents, research centres, universities and regional administrations.

IMDEA Energy was represented by Javier Dufour, Head of the Systems Analysis Unit, and Félix Marín, Head of Technology Development and Transfer. Javier Dufour participated as an expert in the roundtable discussion on “Renewable Hydrogen”, which covered topics such as the Spanish Recovery and Resilience Plan, the European Hydrogen Bank, the interconnection of national networks, the production, storage, transport and distribution of hydrogen, infrastructure and market issues, as wrll as hydrogen uses in industry (such as chemical synthesis and the steel industry) and mobility.

Other participants in the roundtable included representatives from the European Union, the National Hydrogen Centre, and the companies Alsa and Alkeymia.
