The global hydrogen industry is making steady but cautious progress, with nearly 1,400 projects announced worldwide. And while a significant recalibration of expectations of the impact of hydrogen on the global energy system has taken place, it is still expected to play an important role in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors, enabling the transport of energy at scale and facilitating a clean and resilient energy system. To do so, however, will require coordination across stakeholders to address project affordability, subsidy accessibility, and technology development at a pace in keeping with electricity-based solutions. However, only a fraction of the projects needed have reached Final Investment Decisions. What needs to be done to build a commercially viable hydrogen market, attract substantial investment and stimulate cross-border collaboration to ensure the hydrogen economy becomes a reality?

Attendee insights:

The keynote will address the evolving global hydrogen economy, focusing on strategies for overcoming challenges, such as increasing investments, enhancing cross-border collaboration, and securing demand to ensure the viability and growth of the hydrogen market.
