Agenda
Despite challenging conditions, global installed electrolyser capacity has increased by ~400 MW (35-40%) over the course of 2024. This continues the development from 2023, also seeing a growth by ~400 MW in installed capacity, reflecting a consistent upward trajectory. In the years ahead, significant growth is forecasted, with +50 projects currently being under installation in Europe alone. The session will offer the option for Q&A.
Key Discussion Points:
.
The panel will depart from The European Hydrogen Backbone initiative and discuss the role of Regional and domestic and Cross-national initiatives.
Examples will be provided from specific projects and initiatives and lessons learned will be shared and discussed among the panelists.
The session will offer the option for Q&A.
Key Discussion points:
The projects, products being developed and how the large scale developments will be the one to provide the trading options of Green Hydrogen and Derivatives as Commodities.

The HLB is a Megawatt-Scale testing facility for electrolysers with its own 1 MW PEM- and Alkaline Electrolysers and investigates their dynamic operation under renewable conditions as well as integration into the larger economic system and power electronics infrastructure. Description of experience and challenges, and next steps to go.
.
The European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB) infrastructure enables a costcompetitive pathway to net-zero emissions while fostering industrial competitiveness.
Hydrogen pipelines, import terminals and storages can speed up hydrogen supply and demand.
It can be a market forming infrastructure. Under the EU ETS, industry, electricity producers, and shipping and aviation need to achieve net zero emissions by 2044.
2 Large industrial users will want access to an interconnected market to source the cheapest available hydrogen.
This means that the Backbone needs to be well developed by the early 2030’s, which makes building it an urgent task.
Public support is needed to de-risk the timely creation of hydrogen infrastructure.
• Solid Oxide Electrolysis technology as a hydrogen production method: Definition, position in the hydrogen value chain, comparison of the technology with different hydrogen production methods.
• SOE technology and business: Description of the current opportunities for solid oxide electrolysis technology on the market.

Green hydrogen has become a cornerstone of Europe’s energy transition strategy. Technological and economic advances and explicit political and corporate support over the last two years have brought green hydrogen to the forefront of the energy and climate change agendas of many countries. Thus, green hydrogen is poised to play a crucial role in realising net zero-emissions energy systems envisioned by 2050 by these nations.
Supplying hydrogen to industrial users is now a major business around the world. Demand for hydrogen, which has grown more than threefold since 1975, continues to rise – almost entirely supplied from fossil fuels, with 6% of global natural gas and 2% of global coal going to hydrogen production.
With revenues for green hydrogen projected to exceed $200 billion by 2027, diverse opportunities will open up not only for renewable projects for its production, but also to use it as a long-term energy storage technology, to replace fossil fuels for mobility, and to become a major part of manufacturing and process industries. The transition to green hydrogen could provide $11 trillion of infrastructure investment opportunities over the next 30 years making a global business focus. The number of countries with polices that directly support investment in hydrogen technologies is increasing, along with the number of sectors they target
