This event has been Cancelled!
The current situation in the world, linked to the impacts of the coronavirus Covid-19, has led to a series of meeting and travel restrictions.
We have therefore taken the decision to cancel our final seminar for the project GREAT on the 18th of March in Brussels. Public health is the first priority.
Indeed, this is a very unusual and troublesome situation and it’s also very sad not being able to spread the results from our project. If we will have the possibility to arrange a seminar on a later date, we hope that you will join us at that time.
Best regards,
Britt Karlsson-Green
Project manager, GREAT
Time: 18 March 2020, 10.00-15.00 (coffee and registration from 9.30)
Location: Permanent Representation of Sweden to the EU, Square de Meeûs 30, Brussels
Join GREAT in Brussels on 18 March 2020 to discuss the future for alternative fuels in Europe reflected in the results of the Action. A day of sharing insights on alternative fuel infrastructure from different perspectives. The climate issue is more relevant than ever before and in cooperation between the EU, private business and regions across four nations GREAT has worked as an enabler for decarbonisation along the northern part of the TEN-T corridor. This by buildning 69 EV fast chargers and one LBG/LNG station as well as promoting alternative fuel vehicles to buyers.
At the conference you will hear about the future for alternative fuel in Europe, reflected in the result and experiences from the Partners in the action. What has been the challenges and benefits from PPP cooperation? Has the Action achieved its targets? Is the Nordic market mature enough to withdraw policy support?
How do we create growing and sustainable business models that makes the shift in the transport sector accelerate? Will The European Green Deal support this transformation and create modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy where there are no net emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050?
You will also meet the users of the installed alternative fuel infrastructure. What are the benefits and challenges when switching to alternative fuel and alternative fuel vehicles?
