Webinar: Hydrogen: The Path to Economic Readiness

Overview

Ready to dive into the world of clean hydrogen and its market readiness? In this webinar, we’ll assess the hydrogen economy and its most promising applications, particularly in heavy industry (eg steel production, chemicals), electricity generation and long-haul transportation. Making clean hydrogen competitive with alternatives requires innovation to reduce costs and energy losses and delivering it to its best use. We’ll break down various hydrogen production methods and explore how each one impacts hydrogen’s economic viability, especially for industrial use.

But it’s not just about technology—government policies are playing a crucial role in hydrogen’s commercialization. From tax incentives to funding programs, we’ll examine how policy support is accelerating hydrogen development and uncertainty could jeopardise it. For hydrogen to reach its full potential, though, it must overcome key challenges, such as cost reduction, technological scaling and supply chain development, and alignment with renewable energy availability. This webinar will explore these challenges and highlight the most effective ways hydrogen can be used, particularly as a critical industrial feedstock, shedding light on its potential to contribute to a sustainable and economically viable future.

In just one hour, you will:

• understand why hydrogen is effective as an industrial feedstock
• explore the different methods of hydrogen production and their economic implications for industrial applications
• learn how policies and incentives are driving the growth of hydrogen technologies
• identify the key challenges to scaling hydrogen solutions, particularly for industrial use.
