Looking forward to the event, GenComm Programme Manager, Paul McCormack, said: "Hydrogen can be the catalyst for a sustainable future. We can technically and financially optimize the production and commercialisation of renewable hydrogen. The world in facing our climate and energy security challenges has a growing realism about where and how hydrogen will play an ever growing role in our energy systems. Hydrogen is a key energy vector of the future and will address the key challenges of hard to decarbonise sectors.

"There is significant momentum across the entire hydrogen value chain and it is accelerating cost reductions for hydrogen production, transmission, distribution, retail and end applications."
