Mobility and transport are fundamental pillars of European life and economic prosperity, offering significant socio-economic benefits. However, they also present pressing environmental challenges, including rising greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution.
The decarbonisation of mobility within urban and peri-urban areas requires a swift transition to a greater use of public transport and, simultaneously, a higher share of zero emission vehicles in public transport fleets. More hydrogen buses in operation need adequate presence of refuelling stations to ensure security of supply, that in turns guarantees buses can be exploited to their full potential.

Description
In this workshop, policymakers, leaders, and experts from both the public and private sectors will gather to explore the scalability of alternative fuels infrastructures across Europe. The participants will analyse associated challenges and opportunities, while considering the influence of European policies on this evolving landscape. Topics will include regulatory frameworks, financing mechanisms, and innovative initiatives aimed at nurturing sustainable growth in the alternative fuels sector. Furthermore, the workshop will highlight key funding opportunities such as the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facilities (AFIF), designed to propel decarbonisation efforts within the transport sector.
