The workshop participants unanimously expressed the need to establish close cooperation amongst the Region's countries regarding the development of its energy resources, and at the same time protecting its environment. These recommendations have been put together in the Batumi Manifesto.

This book entitled "Black Sea Energy Resource Development and Hydrogen Energy Problems" puts together the papers presented at the workshop, starting with the Batumi Manifesto. This valuable volume should be in the libraries of all the scientists, engineers, environmentalists, economists and decision makers involved in the development of the Black Sea Region and in the introduction of clean and abundant Hydrogen Energy.
