Exploring industry developments to unlock hydrogen’s role in the energy transition
It’s shaping up to be a critical year in determining the future for low-carbon hydrogen. With net zero targets and the pressure to decarbonise taking sharper focus, there is no better time to unlock hydrogen’s potential as part of the energy transition.
With the low-carbon hydrogen economy struggling to move at pace, a boost is needed in creating the market, in order to reconcile the supply and demand challenges. As the market looks to break the pattern of announcing capacity whilst demand remains relatively small-scale, questions remain around government policy and support, funding and costs, project delivery, hydrogen’s carbon intensity and end market requirements. All these challenges and more, need to be addressed to scale up the low-carbon hydrogen sector allowing it to play a critical role in delivering as part of the energy transition.
Join us on 6-7 November 2024 for the third edition of Wood Mackenzie’s Hydrogen Conference. This is your opportunity to meet hydrogen industry leaders, gain insight into project developments and forge new partnerships. You can engage in powerful conversation with Wood Mackenzie’s hydrogen research analysts as well as industry thought leaders to explore the key drivers and challenges of deploying low-carbon hydrogen.
Key conference themes for 2024 include:
- Policy rules and guidelines: are we any closer to clarity on tools to stimulate demand and encourage infrastructure development?
- Deciphering the carbon intensity of the hydrogen rainbow
- Financing and cost pressures: 2023 was a tough year for clean energy investment and development. Will 2024 be better?
- End market requirements and growth: exploring ways to induce demand
- Electrolyser manufacturing and procurement: new technology creating efficiency and scaling capabilities of global manufacturers
- Marine and aviation fuel: do EU penalties and RFNBO targets offer upside to demand and price outlook?
- Exploring the implications of locational marginal pricing
- Project delivery: lessons learned in getting projects across the line
- Identifying project finance challenges and opportunities
