In October 2013, Riga Energy Agency organised ‘Riga Energy Days 2013��� - a month long programme of seminars, exhibitions and consultations. The international exhibition ‘Environment and Energy 2013’ - central energy days event brought together 114 companies and institutions from 13 countries and was attended by 24,750 visitors.
Riga Energy Agency hosted a stand for professionals and inhabitants and also organized two major seminars, participating in discussions organised by other parties. A well reported event was the presentation (first in Baltic countries) of test drives of commercial Fuel Cell Hybrid Buses by Van Hool, Belgium. The first commercial car with hydrogen technology - Hyundai ix35, was presented by Skåne Region, Sweden. The City of Riga is preparing for the gradual introduction of hydrogen buses in city public transport in order to improve air quality in the city centre.
