  • Which industries have the strongest near-term business case for hydrogen adoption?
  • How are industrial users (steel, cement, chemicals, etc.) incorporating hydrogen into decarbonization plans?
  • What role does hydrogen play in heavy transport (trucking, rail, shipping, aviation), and how does it compare to other decarbonization solutions?
  • How can offtake agreements be structured to support both large-scale buyers and emerging adopters?
  • What incentives and policy mechanisms are needed to accelerate adoption?
  • Lessons learned from early projects: What makes a successful hydrogen offtake deal?
14:30 - 14:45 Case Study , Presentation
  • What revenue stacking approaches are available?
  • How can asset owners balance long-term offtake agreements with the need for flexibility in business models?
  • What are the most significant variances from initial projections regarding CAPEX and OPEX, and how to manage the costs whilst maintaining project viability?
  • What approach should applicants take to project development when submitting HAR applications and what to look for in future rounds?
  • What potential offtakers show the strongest commercial potential, and how is this influencing project design and scaling decisions?
  • What are the most critical risk factors when managing green hydrogen projects, and how are these considerations are shaping interactions with investors and financial partners?
14:45 - 15:00 Presentation
15:00 - 15:30 Fireside Chat

Europe’s hydrogen ambitions are strong, but how much of the announced capacity is translating into real-world deployment? This panel will analyse project pipeline data to assess actual production growth, regional investment trends, and the role of national hydrogen strategies in accelerating development.

  • What does Europe’s hydrogen project pipeline tell us about real production capacity versus announced targets?
  • What do investment trends reveal about the maturity of different markets and project scales across Europe?
  • How are national hydrogen strategies and regulatory frameworks shaping project deployment rates?
  • What common characteristics define successfully commissioned projects in Europe, and what lessons can be applied to new developments?
