Hydrogen Hub

A focus on the emerging hydrogen ecosystem

The Innovation Agora Hydrogen Hub is a dedicated space focused on the emerging hydrogen ecosystem. 

Amphitheater panels are the core of the Hydrogen Hub program, covering a range of topics in a concise format focusing on technology, project development, production, transportation economics, financing, and policy. Programing is supported by Lyceum learning sessions that introduce new themes and topics, often with a technology focus and in-depth Agora Pod presentations while receptions and informal meetings continue to build the Hydrogen Hub community.

Topics and key questions to be explored include:

  • Hydrogen policy and geopolitics: Setting the strategic vision

    How will support for hydrogen development evolve globally in the wake of the US IRA?

  • Hydrogen’s impact on cars, trucks, aviation, and mobility

    Can hydrogen compete with batteries?

  • Utilizing low-carbon solutions and industrial end-user applications

    When and how will industry adopt low-carbon hydrogen?

  • Hydrogen in power and gas markets

    What infrastructure is necessary for hydrogen to back up intermittent renewables?

  • Geographies of Hydrogen

    Where will capital investment flow?
