A Structured Journey of Insights, Skills, and Expertise for Professional Growth

While politicians worldwide remain optimistic about the potential of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen to aid decarbonization and achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century, the reality paints a different picture. Ambitious targets are frequently downgraded, making them seem increasingly unattainable. But what’s behind this? The biggest hurdle is funding. The scale of investment needed across production, transport, storage, distribution, and both current and future applications is immense. In this highly interactive workshop, we will conduct a reality check, comparing ambitious political targets with the real-world challenges faced in practice. We’ll explore the key obstacles preventing the global hydrogen economy from reaching its full potential and assess how these challenges may impact the decarbonization goals. At the end of this 1.5-hour session, you’ll have a clear understanding of the practical hurdles and realistic expectations for the future of hydrogen. The session will conclude with a 30-minute Q&A where you can ask your pressing questions to expert workshop leaders Laszlo Siller and Kasper Walet.
