From large-scale production facilities to innovative distribution networks, hydrogen projects are growing around the world to drive the transition to cleaner energy and decarbonisation.
The World Hydrogen Projects virtual conference will showcase pioneering developments across the hydrogen value chain. Join us to hear directly from industry leaders who are turning ambitious hydrogen projects from vision to reality. Our expert speakers will share vital insights on project implementation, discuss real-world challenges and successes, and explore strategic pathways for future development.
The session will explore:
Production & Scale-up – Learn about breakthrough large-scale electrolyser projects and innovative green hydrogen production facilities
Infrastructure & Distribution – Discover crucial insights on overcoming infrastructure bottlenecks and optimising hydrogen distribution networks
Project Viability & Offtake – Understand the critical role of policy support, funding mechanisms, and strategic offtake agreements in ensuring long-term project success
Presentations will be followed by interactive Q&A sessions, giving you the opportunity to engage directly with our speakers and gain deeper insights into these transformative projects.
