(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 24 NOV - An international workshop focusing on "North Adriatic cross-border Hydrogen Valley: towards the clean energy transition" will be held in Nova Gorica (Slovenia) today, organized by the University of Trieste along with international partners. The meeting is part of the plan of the Slovenian six-month EU's presidency. The workshop will see the participation of the governor of Fvg Region Massimiliano Fedriga and high representatives of the Slovenian and Croatian governments, leading companies, and institutions.

The workshop, the University of Trieste reported in a statement, is the first step towards the potential creation of a 'North Adriatic transnational hydrogen valley' across Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia. This area would be the first example of a hydrogen-based project involving several countries.

The positive impact could be very significant. The project would speed up the transition to clean energy in Central and Eastern Europe, creating thousands of jobs and attracting investments in the three countries involved, the University of Trieste pointed out. (ANSA).
