Marita Jaatinen states: “The hydrogen economy is the key to achiev climate goals.”

Tampere is rapidly developing into a center for the hydrogen economy in the North Europe.

In January 2025, the international Hydrogen Summit & Expo will bring together hydrogen industry cognoscenti to Tampere Trade Fair and Sports Centre.

European climate policy regulations are pushing companies to reduce emissions and invest in sustainable practices. Hydrogen produced using renewable energy offers a viable alternative to fossil fuels, particularly in sectors where electrification is not a feasible solution, according to a native article in Tekniikka & Talous (in Finnish). The article quotes Marita Jaatinen, Business Tampere's logistics expert and Economic Development Director for the Municipality of Pirkkala.

– Without the hydrogen economy, climate goals cannot be achieved in industries like steel and fertilizer production, aviation, and maritime shipping,” emphasizes Jaatinen.
