Welcome Address: The role of governments in ensuring hydrogen can deliver as a part of the clean transition energy mix

Countries across the world are looking to hydrogen to play a key role in the transition to clean energy. It’s a complex role, part of a highly integrated supply chain, with myriad touch points; from the potential to utilise excess renewable electricity, as a replacement in our natural gas pipelines and in fuel cells in heavy vehicles. By 2050, hydrogen could form a significant part of the energy mix in a decarbonised energy system. And, given the current high cost of fossil fuels, hydrogen may finally be reaching competitiveness.
