HIL Scotland Conference 2022
Date/Time
22 Nov 2022 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Location
Radisson BLU, Glasgow
The Scottish Government published their hydrogen policy statement in December 2020 which set out a vision for Scotland to become a leading hydrogen nation in the production of reliable, competitive, sustainable hydrogen, securing Scotland’s future as a centre of international excellence as we establish the innovation, skills and supply chain to underpin our energy transition.
HYDROGEN PRIORITIES
Having spent £40m over the past five years in hydrogen transport policies, the focus is now to scaling-up the potential for hydrogen by linking together opportunities across sectors and transport modes and building Scotland’s potential for innovation and supply chain growth.
With the support of Transport Scotland and our enterprise agencies, underpinned by close collaboration between government and industry, we are now seeing the emergence of the next generation of hydrogen projects and investment, including in new areas such as rail, road transport, maritime and aviation.
EVENT SYNOPSIS
This one day conference will bring a wide range of stakeholders responsible for delivering Scotland’s hydrogen objectives to discuss practical ways in which we can produce and distribute hydrogen successfully.
Split into four sections as below, we’re looking for industry experts to contribute to the day
- Aligning Transport Scotland & other key transport authorities to build a secure infrastructure
- Building for Success: Working collaboratively to build a network of hydrogen production, storage and distribution for transport
- Competitive Future: Scaling up technology to create a more robust business case
- Delivering for passengers: Encouraging modal shift through clean energy and modal shift
