The inaugural event's conference will address the latest shifts and trends impacting the hydrogen value chain, including scaling up technologies and bringing down production costs, as well as the new regulatory frameworks and infrastructure development necessary to allow hydrogen to become more widely used in transport, buildings and power generation.
Meanwhile, the event's dedicated exhibition will showcase concrete business models that are marketable and profitable, as well as next generation hydrogen technology, R & D advances and the latest products, services and solutions.
The requirement for Hydrogen as an integral part of the low carbon economy of the future was discussed this morning in a Global Business Leader panel session at the Gastech Virtual Summit, with those speaking highlighting the requirement for Hydrogen as part of the energy mix in the near future. De La Rey Venter, Executive Vice President, Integrated Gas Ventures of Shell, said: "How important is hydrogen really in the context of our climate aspirations? Bluntly put, it is mission critical."
Keisuke Sadamori, Director, Energy Markets and Security of International Energy Agency, said: "There's a lot of opportunity now for hydrogen probably more than ever before, so we must start now. What we do between now and 2030 is critical, the challenge is to turn the momentum into investment decisions." Hydrogen has an important role to play in decarbonising the energy industry, Gastech Hydrogen will enable those driving the development of Hydrogen and those investing to convene.
Nick Ornstien, Vice President of dmg events, which organises Gastech, said: "With the addition of the Gastech Hydrogen Exhibition and Conference, Gastech continues to respond to the changing needs of the gas industry as it addresses the key challenges and opportunities created by the energy transition.
