Ireland Presidency of the Council of the European Union from July to December 2026
Ireland will assume the Presidency of the Council of the European Union from July to December 2026, marking a pivotal moment for our clean‑energy future. To seize this opportunity, Hydrogen Ireland is curating a flagship programme of webinars, workshops, and our annual conference—an integrated platform designed to showcase Ireland’s innovation, talent, and technical excellence.
Through these events, we will demonstrate how Ireland is not only building a hydrogen economy, but shaping one, pioneering new technologies, cultivating world‑class expertise, and driving system‑wide solutions that resonate far beyond our shores. This Presidency window allows us to project a confident, future‑focused narrative, one where Ireland stands as a global frontrunner in hydrogen, sustainability, and the just transition.
Our goal is clear, to ensure Ireland’s hydrogen leadership is visible, influential, and internationally recognised at the very moment Europe—and the world—is looking for credible, ambitious climate and energy solutions.
