🟡 Hydrogen: Fuel of the future or technological utopia?
​This event is part of The Drop 2024. To attend, you must have a ticket to The Drop. Apply for a Drop 2024 ticket.
​Session Overview: Hydrogen stands as a unique solution for decarbonizing sectors where reducing emissions is particularly challenging. It also plays a crucial role as a fundamental reactant in numerous chemical processes, making it essential for, amongst other things, the production of green fertilizers and e-fuels. Nowadays, green hydrogen still comes with a price premium and a fair share of technical challenges. This ripple aims to dive deeper into the relevant applications of hydrogen in a zero-carbon future, identifying the necessary tech pathways to build a hydrogen economy.
​Key Questions:
​In which industries is hydrogen the only viable path to achieving net zero emissions?
​Where will it be essential, where is it a promising technology, and where does it fall short?
​How does the implementation of clean hydrogen compare to alternative pathways, such as electrification or biomass?
​Which hydrogen production methods could become cost-competitive with fossil fuels?
​What strategies can accelerate the development of these technologies?
​What is needed to establish hydrogen as a mainstream commodity?
​Which stakeholders must align to facilitate a rapid transition?
​How can hydrogen-enabled companies manage the cost uncertainties associated with green hydrogen?
​Who should attend? Founders, investors across all funding stages, policymakers, and everyone else kept up at night by the hydrogen economy.
