Speakers: Patrick Maio, Executive Director, FuelCellEurope and Dr Martin A. Blake, Head of Sustainability and Environment, Royal Mail Group

This debate discussed fuel cells and how they can contribute to address Europe energy and environmental challenges. To uphold the discussion, a detailed case study will showcase how strategies to integrate fuel cell and hydrogen in the postal services and logistics business can help transform this global industry and tackle huge energy and greenhouse gas emission reduction challenges it is facing.

The presentation first reviewed the benefits provided by fuel cells and hydrogen, outlined important market penetration and deployment initiatives in European Regions and cities and finally described the expected contribution of hydrogen and fuel cells to the European energy portfolio. The second speaker then showcased Royal Mail Group’s strategy to integrate hydrogen and fuel cells technologies in the postal industry as a core component of the Group’s sustainable development strategy.
