Hydrogen is emerging as one of the most promising technologies for reducing CO\u2082 emissions, increasing energy flexibility, and developing a new and competitive transport infrastructure.<\/p>\n This challenge calls for ideas that can turn the use of hydrogen into a practical business and logistics solution, ranging from supply models and route optimization to infrastructure, services, and integrated transport ecosystems.<\/p>\n The market conditions for such solutions are already taking shape. A hydrogen refueling station is already operational in Klaip\u0117da, with plans for a similar station in Vilnius, while comparable infrastructure is being developed or is already operational in Riga, Tallinn, Poland, Germany, and other European countries.
