Last February, a new edition of the eMobility Expo World Congress took place in Valencia. The eMobility World Congress 2024 is an international conference that provides the most relevant and influential platform for the future of mobility, through sustainability and technology. From 13 to 15 February the eMobility Expo World Congress ended with more than 5,794 mobility professionals from 16 countries, consolidating the success of an event that has become a benchmark for the mobility sector worldwide. Along with industry professionals, 344 world experts participated in the congress and 179 international companies, such as Ford, Toyota, Iberdrola, Cepsa, Balearia, Air Nostrum, Power Electronics, BP, and Ficosa, among others, presented their latest innovations in sustainable mobility during the event.
Alongside discussions on ground-based transportation, the event also addressed challenges and opportunities in air mobility, highlighting the pivotal role of aviation in the evolving mobility landscape.
As part of this dynamic event, Mattia Mazzeschi on behalf of CIDAUT, participated as moderator of the session titled “Megatrends in Air Mobility”. The session delved into the promising future of air mobility, exploring significant milestones, emerging business opportunities, and technological advancements. In between the climate crisis and evolving societal sensitivities, discussions centered on the transformative impact of mobility-as-a-service, intermodal transportation, and the emergence of new technologies driving innovation in the aerospace sector. At the core of the dialogue were the megatrends shaping the future of air mobility and the identification of emerging markets poised for growth. Participants exchanged insights on the critical drivers of change in the aeronautic sector, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts to navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities in the evolving landscape.
In parallel and within the framework of eMobility, the H2 Hydrogen World Congress took place. This congress presented a comprehensive overview of the hydrogen industry, offering both plenary and parallel sessions. Attendees had the opportunity to delve into specific areas of interest or explore the entire value chain of the industry, spanning from major corporations to cutting-edge scientific research.
On behalf of CIDAUT, Henar Olmedo participated in the session that took place on the 15th entitled: “The hydrogen colours (white, green, gray…): the generation is the key”. This roundtable explored the diverse spectrum of hydrogen production, characterized by colours such as white, green, emphasizing that the method of generation is pivotal. It delved into how each colour represents a different production technique and its environmental implications. The session was shared with other speakers from ITE, the University of Barcelona and Solar Outdoor Media & Klear Energy.
