Building a Hydrogen Economy 2023
With the UK Government building on the ten-point action plan for a green industrial revolution, the industry will need to retrofit and build new infrastructure, unlock private investment to boost final investment decisions and explore ways to secure a sustainable hydrogen economy and build the case for hydrogen to be traded as a commodity.
Hydrogen Priorities
Alongside this strategy, the UK Government have also published a series of consultations, including the NZHF, the HBM and the UK low carbon hydrogen standard.
With the support of the government and our enterprise agencies, coupled with private investment and innovation, we are now seeing the emergence of the next generation of hydrogen projects and investment decisions. This includes areas such as infrastructure, storage, distribution and production.
Event Synopsis
The hydrogen market is set to undergo rapid change and expansion to meet upcoming climate objectives. Long-term revenue contracts will be critical for early low-carbon hydrogen projects to obtain future financing. During this one-day conference, stakeholders and Industry will discuss how we overcome various challenges and secure more final investment decisions.
Split into four sections, we’re looking for industry experts to contribute to the following:
- How we successfully create a competitive, integrated UK market for low-carbon hydrogen
- How Hydrogen can realise its full potential as a globally traded commodity
- How we secure a flow of Investment into the hydrogen economy
- The development of the end user and the decarbonisation of the industry
