The workshop is co-organised by the European Innovation Council, the European Commission’s DG RTD, project ANEMEL, the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, Hydrogen Europe Research and the EuroTech Universities Alliance.

The aim of this workshop is to discuss the use of seawater for a broad range of applications, including the production of renewable fuels and chemicals, mining, or energy storage.

A multidisciplinary group of experts from industry, academia and policymakers will discuss innovative desalination methods, including brines treatment, as well as direct seawater electrolysis or the use of seawater for co-electrolysis. The experts will draft a white paper presenting the technologies using seawater as a source that should strongly be supported by the European Commission in accordance with the achievement of the EU Green Deal objectives.

The workshop will also host a “pitch session” to showcase real-life demonstration projects or technologies in this area.

The line-up of confirmed speakers includes leaders from governmental organizations, industry and academia, have a look at the agenda to learn more!
