Hydrogen in the Public Sector 2024

Following on from the nationally focussed event series, Hydrogen Industry Leaders’ next event turns attention towards the pivotal role of the public sector in advancing the hydrogen industry.
This one-day conference is a platform for industry leaders, policymakers, and experts to converge and address the barriers hindering the widespread integration of hydrogen technology across the public sector.

The conference not only looks at the challenges faced by the public sector in embracing hydrogen but also explores the myriad opportunities it presents to the entire supply chain.

Speakers and panellists will delve into technical, regulatory, and financial challenges, shedding light on the intricacies that have slowed down the mainstream acceptance of hydrogen as a viable energy source.

Through case studies, interactive discussions, and expert analyses, attendees will gain valuable insights into overcoming these obstacles, paving the way for a hydrogen-powered future.

As governments explore multiple decarbonisation methods, this conference will serve as an invaluable opportunity for solution providers to showcase the pivotal role that hydrogen can play across the health, education, housing and wider estate sectors.

A spotlight will be cast on the numerous opportunities inherent in incorporating hydrogen into the public sector’s energy portfolio. Delegates will explore the transformative impact of hydrogen on the supply chain, from production and distribution to storage and utilisation.

The Problem

The public sector is arguably one of the more difficult industries to decarbonise for the following reasons:

  • Budget Constraints
  • Long Planning and Implementation Cycles
  • Complex Stakeholder Landscape
  • Lack of Decarbonisation Knowledge

The Solution

As a solution provider, our networking sessions, presentations and panel debates will have key stakeholders across the public sector to hear about your products and the role hydrogen can play in their decision-making.

We will be focusing on:

  • How to build a secure supply of hydrogen
  • When will we realistically be able to supply hydrogen to these sectors
  • Real-world success stories of hydrogen implementation
  • Where the hydrogen will come from
  • What are the core barriers to securing a secure supply chain?
  • Why hydrogen is the best solution in specific situations
