Reframing the energy narrative for a secure, low carbon global energy future with commercially viable hydrogen requires pragmatic solutions that address cost competitiveness, demand creation and infrastructure development. Fostering international collaboration and technological innovation is also critical to bridge the gap between current market conditions and future sustainability goals. Key to success is the development of robust political strategies that establish clear, long-term commitments to hydrogen development while providing certainty across the hydrogen value chain; including cross-border collaboration and knowledge sharing to unlock efficiency gains, set international standards, and facilitate global hydrogen trade. The interconnected economic, technological, and policy challenges standing in the way of a mature hydrogen market require an integrated approach where solutions go hand in hand with realistic market expectations.    

Attendee insights: 

Explore how varied national strategies and policy frameworks are shaping global hydrogen markets. Learn what will drive investment to build a robust, transparent low-carbon hydrogen ecosystem, and gain insight into the commercial realities facing the hydrogen sector.  

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.
