In an uncertain market, key players continue to debate the importance of integrating hydrogen-ready technologies that enable the scale-up of the hydrogen economy and how such technologies have been deployed in projects so far. In this session, we will explore how the integration of critical hydrogen- ready technologies across the value chain can drive the de-risking of project deployment and support maximum reliability at required cost levels, therefore facilitating the funding of the project for financial institutions. The interplay with CCUS technologies and digital solutions will also be discussed.
Retrofitting end-use assets for hydrogen offers several benefits, both environmental and economic, as part of efforts to transition toward a low-carbon economy. In addition to requiring advancements in technologies, it is also driving investment in the hydrogen value chain. What policies provide incentives for retrofitting? What is the scope of assets that can be retrofitted to hit net-zero targets?
