Carbon neutral Scenarios and the role of Hydrogen
The energy transition involves large changes for the energy system. Berenschot calculated climate-neutral energy scenarios for the Netherlands in 2050, with different pathways to achieve carbon neutrality. During this webinar, Bert den Ouden will explore these scenarios and especially the role of Hydrogen in the context of EU regions. Next, a high-level panel will reflect upon the four scenarios, the role of hydrogen and key challenges of the energy transition for the Benelux region.

Urban manufacturing for the 21st century
Manufacturing is still a vital aspect of urban life in Europe. Many cities are attracted to it for innovation, to address the circular economy or provide a diversity of jobs. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how cities depended on local manufacturers. Yet the sector is weak, affected by the likes of real estate prices and friction with other land uses, like housing. This workshop will present a tool developed to facilitate urban manufacturing, developed in the (JPI) Cities of Making project.
