Hydrogen Industry Faces Challenges in Standardization and Cost Reduction for Efficient Market Growth, Says LIFTE H2 GMBH's Markus Kösters

The presentation discusses the current state and future prospects of hydrogen trailer filling stations, emphasizing their role in transporting hydrogen efficiently. LIFTE H2 GMBH is a company dedicated to advancing hydrogen technology by providing engineering expertise from concept through commissioning. The speaker highlights the need for standardization to reduce costs and make hydrogen competitive with conventional fuels without relying on subsidies. With an anticipated sixfold increase in demand over 20 years, new applications are emerging that require decarbonizing industries traditionally powered by fossil fuels. Various methods exist for producing and transporting hydrogen, including electrolysis and SMRs (Steam Methane Reforming), but challenges remain regarding infrastructure development like pipelines versus more immediate solutions such as trailers. Standardized designs could lower costs significantly; however, achieving this requires collaboration across industry stakeholders to establish protocols ensuring safe operation under diverse conditions globally. The discussion concludes with a call-to-action for increased cooperation towards cost-effective scaling of these technologies within two to three years while addressing regulatory hurdles.

Talk of session: Hydrogen and its Last Mile - How to Close the Ultimate Gap?

The production of hydrogen from renewable energy sources (RES) has made significant progress, with projects of various scales becoming a reality. However, the challenge of efficiently delivering hydrogen to end users remains, and multiple pathways are explored.Despite being the simplest molecule, hydrogen's delivery methods are not yet standardized. This session will delve into the practical considerations of different hydrogen distribution solutions across diverse project settings. Moderator: Michael Spirig, CEO & Founder, European Electrolyser & Fuel Cell Forum (EFCF)
