Exploring the Future of Green Hydrogen: Presentations and Panel Discussion at Smarter E Conference

The session focuses on green hydrogen, a topic that was highly popular at the previous year's The smarter E event. Despite some decline in hype, there remains significant interest in this area. The afternoon's agenda is divided into two main parts: presentations and a panel discussion. Initially, three presentations will cover key aspects of green hydrogen projects such as framework conditions, initial investments, regulatory compliance issues including safety and environmental standards, as well as business models related to these initiatives. Notably present among the speakers are two lawyers—highlighting perhaps an emerging trend where legal expertise becomes crucial for navigating the complexities involved with green hydrogen ventures. Following these talks and after a short break around four o'clock, attendees can look forward to engaging further through a panel discussion featuring developers actively working on or planning their own green hydrogen projects. This structure aims to provide both theoretical insights and practical perspectives from industry practitioners.
