Webinar on HyBalance

September 24, 2020 the HyBalance project hosted a webinar on the results and learnings from the HyBalance project. The webinar touched upon power-to-hydrogen system’s performance, grid balancing and environmental impact. Below you can see the program for the webinar, the presentations and a link to a recorded version of the entire webinar.
