Focus Areas

Low-Carbon Hydrogen Production

Faster adoption of low-carbon hydrogen is needed to put the world on track for a sustainable energy system by 2050. The World Hydrogen Forum will provide valuable insights from experts across the globe on various ways of producing hydrogen. The vision would be to discover ways that are not only environmentally sustainable but also commercially viable.

Storage Solutions

The World Hydrogen Forum will gather stakeholders from across the hydrogen industry value chain to work together towards a sustainable and cleaner energy future. The show will provide a platform for various innovations and solutions regarding the optimal storage of commercial hydrogen.

Transportation and Infrastructure

Transportation and distribution of the fuel acts as major hurdles for realising the hydrogen transition. The regional and global distribution of hydrogen through new pipelines or retrofitting current natural gas pipelines is gaining traction. Hence, transportation and infrastructure would be one of the focus areas at the World Hydrogen Forum, where the stakeholders would share their valuable insights on the viable ways of transporting hydrogen from the source to the end users, with minimal loss.

End-use

Heavy Industry

To reduce CO2 emissions globally, redefining industries and the processes within, need to be introspected. The net-zero goals cannot be achieved unless hard-to-abate materials are either replaced or their manufacturing processes are made sustainable. Join the most important names in the industry at the World Hydrogen Forum, leading the way forward in developing markets for a more sustainable future.

Mobility

With the mobility sector alone contributing to an estimated 37% of the global annual CO2 emissions, there is a need for an alternative fuel which is sustainable and economical. Hydrogen has advanced as a substitute fuel and has applications in varied modes of transport. Join the industry bigwigs at the World Hydrogen Forum, and make indelible business connections.

Fuel Cell

Hydrogen fuel cells provide instantaneous power generation and aid in demand response by acting as a power source and a reserve energy source for months. Due to their wide applications, fuel cells would be a focal point in the World Hydrogen Forum, where the stakeholders would share their valuable thoughts on the design and development of the fuel cell and also provide a platform to showcase the latest innovations.

Heating and Power generation

Decarbonising the combined heat and power sector is one of the goals of transitioning towards a clean future. The World Hydrogen Forum brings together innovators and end-users from the combined heat and power sector to showcase the latest developments and technologies and gain valuable insights from industry leaders.
