During the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition in Rotterdam, we hosted the second UK-NL Roundtable on Hydrogen!   The World Hydrogen Summit was a great success this week, bringing together over 12,000 participants from 100 countries, including policymakers, researchers and businesses from across the hydrogen value chain. It was also an excellent platform for the second edition of the UK-NL Roundtable on Hydrogen, organised in collaboration with the British Embassy The Hague:  ➡ Discuss the update of the current state of play in the Dutch and UK hydrogen sectors. ➡ Exchange views how the sector is moving into delivery  and how projects could be accelerated. With examples of Holland Hydrogen 1 and an array of smaller UK projects. ➡ Discuss Market developments and 2030 targets and what infra will be needed to deliver them. As well as a discussion around CCUS and H2 and developing import-export chains. Low carbon hydrogen will be critical to achieving our shared net zero targets and ensuring greater energy security. This is why we welcomed the opportunity for a second discussion between key industry and government stakeholders, and hope that this annual initiative will contribute towards further growth and cooperation of the hydrogen economy in our two countries. Thanks to all companies at the table for the very relevant discussions, and to Andrew Lever of The Carbon Trust for his expert chairmanship, and to Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) | Partner in Sustainable Development for their support! We will be back! Ricardo Solis Hernandez Department for Business and Trade Tessel Van Essen

Great to have been there! It was very interesting to discuss the lessons learned from the 3 recent H2 auctions (EU, NL, and UK) and how to optimise them based on the current feedback. The pieces are there, it's now time to set them moving. #hydrogen #hydrogeneconomy #greenhydrogen

Hydrogen strategies: Between ambition and reality   Certainty and simplicity of rules for #hydrogen and demand-pull measures remain vital to deliver on our climate goals.   “In order to stay on track with net zero, projects equalling some USD 700 billion in investments across the hydrogen value chain have to reach FID before 2027 or 2028, given the time needed to build the projects," said Daria Nochevnik, Hydrogen Council's Director for Policy and Partnerships at Hyvolution today.   "Investor certainty can only be secured with enabling frameworks and market rules for hydrogen that are stable and fit-for-purpose, allowing hydrogen and its applications to compete with other clean energy solutions. Demand-pull measures remain key to accelerate deployment across geographies as they create ripple effects across the entire value chain.” Daria joined the opening plenary session at #Hyvolution in Paris with Laurent ANTONI, Executive Director, IPHE (International Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy); Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO, Hydrogen Europe; and Christelle Werquin, General Delegate, France Hydrogène.

💥The global hydrogen markets have had a busy few years. This year has been pivotal for the industry as momentum continues to grow, policies adapt, regulatory frameworks are being introduced, technology advances and end use markets gain clarity. Finally, functioning, profitable and efficient hydrogen projects across the world are in sight. 📣As the urgency from a climate and geopolitical standpoint grows, we must, as a hydrogen collaborative, drive the scaling up and innovation to transition to clean and sustainable energy. Now is the time to make a critical impact on the future. Hear from CEO Nadim Chaudhry on: • What’s happening in the clean hydrogen markets • The global hydrogen projects in development • Why World Hydrogen Week is pivotal in driving the innovation, commercialisation and widespread integration of hydrogen to achieve net-zero targets 📹Watch now: https://ow.ly/uEsW50PKaCY 👉Now in its 4th year, our flagship, high-end networking event, World Hydrogen Congress, part of World Hydrogen Week taking place on 9-13 October 2023 in Rotterdam, is the world’s leading commercially focused deal-making event accelerating hydrogen projects up to and beyond final investment decision.

The 2023 European Hydrogen Week concluded successfully, with intensive discussions around the hydrogen value chain and the publication of two major announcements for the hydrogen sector.   The second European Hydrogen Bank auction would take place in spring 2024 with a budget of € 2.2 billion and the € 800 million pilot auction for the competition has been officially launched.   The EU has taken an important step towards levelling the playing field for green hydrogen and further boosting the expansion of large-scale hydrogen projects. #hydrogeneurope #europeanhydrogenweek #hydrogen #electrolyzer https://lnkd.in/eyD36pS5

Looking forward to discussing the latest on H2 deployment through out Europe - import or local production? Which subsidies and taxes are relevant to the business case? What will be the winning carrier? Reach out to our PwC team at the conference in Rotterdam this week. #energytransition #hydrogen #WHC #PwC

Amazing opening of EU Hydrogen Week by Hydrogen Europe Chairwoman Dr Sopna Sury. More than 6000 people attending ! So much development over past 10 years (we were only hundreds of participants in 2013/4). Main messages : we need more projects to come to FID (final investment decision) / part of the challenge is that investors still feel unsure about the timely availability of key hydrogen infrastructures / member states expected to speed up implementation of new hydrogen rules and approvals of public support to projects / finally more incentives for demand should be favored. #HydrogenEurope #EUH2Week2023 #Hydrogen

💥We're pleased to present NWBA as Supporting Partner of this year's World Hydrogen Week, which is taking place from 9 - 13 October in Rotterdam! The Netherlands Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association is the national sector organisation and established 20 years ago.

H2 MEET 2023,' the premier global hydrogen event at KINTEX 1, Goyang, South Korea, closed triumphantly, cementing its global cooperation role. The need for a united hydrogen economy propelled H2 MEET's significance. "It is imperative to foster collaborative efforts spanning governments, corporations, and research institutions on a global scale. H2 MEET has emerged as the epicenter for global cooperation in constructing the hydrogen value chain," Chairman Nam-hoon Kang of the organizing committee said. He emphasized that cooperation is the linchpin for the comprehensive hydrogen industry, encompassing production, storage, distribution, and utilization.
