- The Round Tables of Arbois and the Mediterranean (RTAM) will be held in Aix-en-Provence, a university town in the south of France, on May 3 and 4, 2023.
- Industry leaders, stakeholders in research and innovation, students, and members of civil society will attend.
- The future of the green hydrogen market in Africa, where the sector’s growth is growing, will be the main topic of this 13th edition.
The 13th Round Tables of Arbois and the Mediterranean (RTAM) will take place in Aix-en-Provence, France, on May 3–4, 2023. The conference will be held at the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) and will be centered on the theme “Hydrogen Tomorrow: Myths & Realities” in association with the University of Aix-Marseille and the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). Given the potential for lowering carbon emissions and promoting sustainable development, the event’s goal is to explore the growth of the green hydrogen industry in Africa and identify strategies to speed it up.
Industry executives, actors in research and innovation, students, and representatives of civil society from all over the world will attend the conference. Decarbonized hydrogen research and development, green and turquoise hydrogen, the significance of hydrogen in the global energy transition, and the growth of a French hydrogen economy are just a few of the 15 issues that will be discussed throughout the debates. In order to encourage the development of green hydrogen, Egypt has pledged to invest $4 billion. Morocco, meantime, has entered into collaborations with international investors and businesses, such as Total Eren, for a green hydrogen and ammonia project in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region.
By investing in green hydrogen, Africa may be able to supply up to 25 million tonnes of the energy market, or 15% of the gas now utilized in the European Union, and cut its carbon emissions by 40%. By lowering greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizers, green ammonia, which is manufactured from hydrogen produced by electrolysis using renewable energy, aids in the decarbonization of agricultural production. The conference will provide a setting for discussion of the hydrogen sector’s difficulties facing the hydrogen sector and an opportunity to consider how to hasten its growth in Africa.
