A conference series that has followed hydrogen research from the first energy debates to the present build out.

WHEC 2022

A series with memory

The World Hydrogen Energy Conference began in 1976 and has been held every two years in a different city. The series sits under the International Association for Hydrogen Energy and has grown alongside the field, from fundamental studies of production and storage to integrated systems, policy and commercial deployment.

Each host city has brought its own research community and industrial context. The result is a record of how priorities have shifted, and of the questions that have stayed open.
