The wind industry has enjoyed a decade of dramatic growth with both capital and opex costs falling fast and is set to continue a CAGR of 8%+. This conference examined the potential for the wind and hydrogen industry to grow equally fast, or even eventually exceed the wind for electricity industry. Both onshore and offshore were covered by a panel of thought leaders who examined how wind will be effectively married to hydrogen.

How will wind adapt for hydrogen production?
What innovative pathways exist?
Will we see the reuse of oil and gas platforms for offshore electrolysis?
Could we see the development of artificial islands and other novel concepts?
