Key-Note Plenary Panel

Global Approaches to Green Hydrogen

This discussion explores global strategies for developing scalable and cost-efficient green hydrogen projects. It addresses key issues such as cost reduction, risk management, water security, and the challenges of technology and project bankability. The session also considers the influence of more affordable Chinese electrolyzers and highlights the role of international collaboration in advancing large-scale hydrogen production and distribution.

Examination of Regulatory Challenges

A comparison of regulatory approaches governing testing, inspections and certifications, for a safe, secure and sustainable hydrogen economy. This presentation outlines what's next in regional regulations and their interoperability, from additionality and time matching to resolving legal discrepancies across jurisdictions. We explore how current regulation is shaping the future of green energy—and what is needed to speed up the transition to a carbon neutral economy.

Stream B

Pathway to the Hydrogen Economy

This discussion will explore the feasibility of a direct transition to green hydrogen from a fossil fuel-dependent system. We will address key challenges such as high production costs and inadequate infrastructure. Additionally, we’ll consider the role of low-carbon hydrogen options, like nuclear and natural gas with CCS, and if integrating blue hydrogen alongside green alternatives can facilitate a smoother, scalable transition to green hydrogen from renewable sources.
