The system view
A conference built around a system, not a single fuel
Hydrogen is not one product. It is a chain that starts with electricity, heat or a chemical feedstock and ends in a vehicle, a furnace, a grid or a factory. The 2022 programme was designed to keep that chain visible.
The week moved from production routes and electrolysis to storage, purification, fuel cells and end use. It also made room for the questions that decide whether a project moves forward: safety, standards, cost, infrastructure and public confidence.
The programme kept the whole chain in view, from the first electron to the final use.Why the conference exists
The week

Voices
Safety, storage and the lifetime of a fuel cell
The speaker programme moved between the laboratory and the system: how hydrogen behaves, how it is stored, how long a fuel cell lasts and how nuclear heat can supply clean hydrogen.
