Developing The Capability And Policy To Match The Overall Ambition Of The Hydrogen Movement
Bringing All The Puzzle Pieces Together To Ensure The Success Of A Project
The primary focus of numerous hydrogen conferences in recent years has been technology. To assure project success, the sector today requires a higher number of reliable industrial clients as well as clarity on how to engage with expanding regional ecosystems. To solve the key obstacles, much more clarity is required on how to integrate all parts across the entire ecosystem. In other words, the activities necessary not only to complete the energy transition but also to make it economically viable and lucrative.
North American Hydrogen Markets & Demand Growth 2022 addresses business and technology issues from the perspectives of commercial viability, return on investment, and risk. And, most significantly, the conversation covers potential industrial end users using both green and blue hydrogen. For instance, any business cannot exclusively concentrate on a particular kind of hydrogen since it is vital to understand how each component of the ecosystem operates. Separately, it is necessary to create a skilled labor force in order to ensure the requisite capabilities for the expansion of initiatives. And that the required infrastructure is in place and problems like hydrogen leaks have been resolved. This is the only conference agenda to deliver such learnings.
The entire first day of the agenda is devoted to mapping out end-user requirements for different industrial sectors. Getting hydrogen facility developers in front of potential hydrogen end users to learn where to place facilities and which facilities may make the most sense can be expensive and time-consuming. While other agendas may devote a few sessions to the customer, most of day 1 is entirely spent gathering end-user feedback from new and emerging important industrial and transportation sectors.
Hear Directly From The Industrial Players On What Their Plans Are To Decarbonize And Switch To Hydrogen
What is the decarbonization plan of the industrial end users, be they a fertilizer company, a steel company, or another sector? Would industrial users replace natural gas channels with hydrogen or continue to rely only on natural gas? In which regions or hubs does integrating with the local ecosystem make sense? Each end-user case study presentation has been advised to cover such specifics.
Study The Most Recent Hydrogen Initiatives To Share Knowledge On How To Make The Economics Work
Facility developers will explain why they opted or did not choose to scale up hydrogen generation to a given level of megawatts.
What are the financial realities of each decision, and what is required?
What would have helped them make a decision and establish viability by ramping up hydrogen at scale?
What are the barriers to motivating early adopters to take additional risks and hasten the transformation?
Managing Risk With Larger Projects To keep the level of risk under control during any sizeable undertaking, it is essential to refrain from attempting to do too much, too quickly. The management of a pilot project and the implementation of the most recent technological innovation are two quite different endeavours that require very different skill sets. At North American Hydrogen Markets Demand Growth 2022 attendees will hear a lot of different insights and best practices on how to successfully scale up facility operations and manage multi-faceted risk.
Hear About Policies & Strategies To Identify New Industrial Users, Expand Regional Ecosystems, And Develop Economically Viable & Profitable Projects
Meet policymakers, potential customers and project developers to learn about the financial case for scaling up projects and collaborate with the key companies looking to bring the hydrogen economy to life.
Sharing best practices between regional hubs will deliver optimal benefits for attendees. Developers can learn from one another how to scale up profitably and under what circumstances. Also, benefit from macro perspectives on upcoming prospects for hydrogen led by industrial clients.
