This conference is a direct result of the UNIDO's Hydrogen Islands Initiative, which has a goal to establish clean hydrogen energy systems on islands worldwide in order to provide a basis for sustainable development, and at the same time preserve their pristine environment. With renewable hydrogen energy systems, islands can become energy self-sufficient and serve as showcases for the development of a global hydrogen energy system. Hydrogen complements renewable energy technologies, not only solving the problem of their intermittent availability, but also serving as a clean, renewable, locally produced fuel for transportation.

The objective of the conference is to bring together island communities, experts, equipment suppliers, financiers, local governments and international organizations to facilitate exchange of technical and organizational information between similar projects on the islands and to discuss potential for hydrogen installations on other islands all over the world where hydrogen can solve some of the local energy problems.
