Research for Green Transition: The role of hydrogen and industrial side streams in circular economy

InStreams Hub and H2FUTURE of the University of Oulu are jointly organising a seminar presenting the latest research. You’ll get to hear about the role of hydrogen research in circular economy of the industrial side streams and its impact on society. You can participate onsite at Tellus Backstage (Linnanmaa campus at the University of Oulu) or online via Zoom. Register now by clicking here! Registration closes on the 23rd of November 2023. The language of the event is English.

InStreams Hub is a cross-disciplinary research community focusing on inorganic materials research and engineering and the management and utilisation of inorganic side streams. Community is supported by the University of Oulu and the Academy of Finland PROFI5 funding (2019-2023).

H2FUTURE is a research programme at the University of Oulu supported by the Academy of Finland PROFI7 funding (2023-2028). The programme aims for renewed thinking and challenging, yet electricity-wise realistic and future-oriented solutions for clean hydrogen production and utilization.
