2021 Agenda (time zone BST)

The targets have been set, but how can Europe achieve 6 GW of Renewables Hydrogen by 2024 and 40 GW by 2030? Government Ministers and key industry stakeholders set out their strategy for expansion, including government support, regulatory requirements, and private sector leadership to decarbonize Europe.

In their World Energy Transitions Outlook, IRENA predict hydrogen will make-up 12% of the energy mix with 66% of that share being green hydrogen. In this exclusive session, IRENA's Director-General will assess the challenges and showcase which markets globally are looking promising to achieve this growth.   

In the past year, more than $150 billion worth of green hydrogen projects have been announced, meaning there are more than 70 gigawatts of projects in the development phase. So how are energy executive approaching scaling-up to ensure hydrogen competes with coal, oil and gas? Energy Executives discuss their projects and plans, focusing on how and where they will be producing clean hydrogen at scale to drive costs down.

Debate on how much of an integral role hydrogen will play in the future of mobility.

We can fundamentally change the way we look at waste – and transform it into the largest source of clean, affordable and available Hydrogen on the planet. Turning your average ton of non-recyclable waste into 1000 km of Hydrogen bus/truck and replace 500 litres of imported fossil diesel. This local potential for carbon-negative 24/7 Hydrogen can be unlocked with autonomous distributed technology that reduces infrastructure stress and builds local prosperity – while at the same time cleaning the air we breathe and keeping the water and soil we depend on clean. The source of the efficiency and cost advantage being that the photosynthesis has already done the work to split the Hydrogen from water and stored it in the energy-rich hydrocarbons that make up the waste. Waste that is available in abundance right where Hydrogen is most needed.
