During the event, which brought together leading national and international academic and industrial experts to discuss the latest developments in green hydrogen, Arturo Gonzalo highlighted that the Spanish Hydrogen Backbone is moving forward as planned, and pointed out that Enagás is driving a new technological cycle where important steps continue to be taken as the hydrogen infrastructure of the future is being built.
