This week, EnergyNews.biz is on the ground in Zagreb, attending the Spring Training on Hydrogen and Fuel Cells, an intensive industry training designed to equip participants with the technical, financial, and regulatory insights necessary to navigate the fast-evolving hydrogen sector.
The event has attracted a roster of respected industry voices and technology developers, reflecting the sector’s increasingly multidisciplinary demands. Among the speakers are Ad van Wijk, Professor of Future Energy Systems at Delft University of Technology; Jens Wulff and Frank Buschmann of NEUMAN & ESSER (NEA GROUP); Francisco de Magelhaes of Toyota Caetano Portugal; Rob Castien of Resato Hydrogen Technology; Wilko van Kampen of XINTC; Wilhelm Schünemann of Enapter; Robert Mikulandrić of Atlas Copco; and János Onódi from Mobility & Innovation Production.
The programme, as outlined by the organizers, focuses on equipping attendees with deep technical knowledge and hands-on expertise in system design, dynamic operational management, safety protocol implementation, and financial analysis tailored for hydrogen projects. With particular emphasis on plug-and-play hydrogen solutions and modular system configurations, the course reflects the sector’s pivot toward deployable, scalable units designed to integrate with intermittent renewable power supply.
Crucially, the event also addresses operational risk management in hydrogen systems — an area under intense scrutiny as storage and transport infrastructure expand. Speakers from equipment manufacturers like Enapter, Resato, and NEUMAN & ESSER provide direct insights from ongoing projects and system installations, while developers and integrators such as Toyota Caetano and Mobility & Innovation Production contribute perspective on hydrogen’s practical application in transport and industrial decarbonization. The training coincides with increasing pressure on Europe’s hydrogen industry to deliver commercially viable projects at scale.
As part of its event coverage, EnergyNews.biz will provide exclusive interviews with speakers and participants, offering insights into technical trends, deployment barriers, and policy shifts shaping the sector’s immediate future. Readers are encouraged to follow EnergyNews.biz on YouTube, where our editorial team will share vlogs and conversations from the event floor, offering a closer look at the people and technologies shaping Europe’s hydrogen economy.
