New Energy Events, hosts of the Hydrogen Congress for Latin America and the Caribbean (H2LAC), the largest annual gathering of the regional Hydrogen market, announced today the launch of the inaugural H2LAC Industry Awards. The Awards – which will recognize excellence in projects, programs and people driving forward the Hydrogen economy in Latin America and the Caribbean – will be honored on stage at the 2nd annual H2LAC in Cartagena, Colombia on October 4, 2022.
The Awards were established to recognize stakeholders across Latin America and the Caribbean who are making a lasting impact on the development of Hydrogen in the region. Submissions and nominations are encouraged from across the regional market to showcase, recognize and reward outstanding Hydrogen initiatives. The awards are free to enter and nominations will close on Aug. 31, 2022.
Francisca Salas, Program Director of H2LAC, said: “At the 2nd Hydrogen Congress for Latin America and the Caribbean (H2LAC 2022), we’re celebrating not just the coming together of the market for the first time, but also the successes of the last 12 months. The last year may have been challenging for our market, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been milestones and landmark deals. Our new awards will celebrate those who are actively striving to address and progress the regional Hydrogen economy. With a variety of categories, the Awards will showcase the successes of Hydrogen initiatives, examples of best practice and highlight the importance of collaboration in this area.”
