Action is what drives our ethos, and as an industry/policy influencer and a true “not for profit” organisation, H2Q is taking ownership of the conversation.

INVITATION FROM OUR CHAIR

Your preparation for 2050, starts here.

Please join us at the official annual Hydrogen Connect 2022 Summit, to be held on the 8-9  September in Brisbane this year. Our plans for this summit offer you, as a valued partner, an event that promises to be more industry-focused, more deal-orientated and more informed in achieving the best outcomes for all the key stakeholders in our growing hydrogen economy.

H2Q is not hosting a “talk-fest.” Action is what drives our ethos, and as an industry/policy influencer and a true “not for profit” organisation, H2Q is taking ownership of the conversation. I appreciate that you have attended and sponsored other conferences, but hope you take a deep look at our offering.

You will find a program grounded in Queensland industry participation with support from regions and international experts. We offer the opportunity to partner with the only summit of its kind – developed “for the industry, by the industry”.

H2Q are fully committed to moving to net zero, with agility, excellence, and deliberate collaboration – and want to properly, and sincerely, serve and support Australia’s booming hydrogen sector. On behalf of my passionate team and collaborators, we hope you become a long-term partner to our annual Hydrogen Connect Summit.

Thursday 8 September, 1145-1230

Panel Discussion: Growing domestic demand to fuel Australia’s green hydrogen revolution and accelerate early transition for end-users

  • What is the commercial scale generation and distribution capability/possibility to meet global and local demand for hydrogen in the next few years?
  • Are the decarbonisation incentives, funding, pricing and technology solutions sufficient to increase domestic demand and domestic use of green hydrogen (before exporting it)?
  • Benchmarking the pricing, safety and technological competitiveness of hydrogen over other renewables
  • Constraints, risks, challenges, technology maturity and opportunities for early adopters to switch from existing prohibitive high energy cost to hydrogen
  • Tackling the cost/benefit equation of switching
  • Unravelling the “known unknowns” that disrupt the transition required to achieve the seismic shift to build widespread domestic demand
