Portugal was among the first countries in the world to set carbon neutrality targets for 2050.
The country has the ingredients (as well as interesting challenges ahead) to become a major European exporting producer of renewable fuels, not only to meet its own needs but also to export to the rest of Europe, through maritime corridors being currently created, and through existing and future land infrastructure.
Several important production projects are already in development and many more are to come.

Of the many industries touted to be potential buyers of green hydrogen, steel is the most prominent, with the potential for a 95% reduction in emissions. In this session leading steel producers will highlight:
- The quantities and prices they need to make the business case green steel feasible
- How they want to work with developers, including preference for centralised or decentralised production
- Where they see the market developing, and the future opportunities

The invasion of Ukraine has impacted the entire energy sector, but in the context of Green Hydrogen it has implications for one of its critical challenges to success; achieving green H2 at competitive prices to non-renewable H2.
- Will the increased cost of renewables close down projects or preventing growth?
- When might equality of price might be achieved, and what impact will measures such as the EU €180 per mwh cap have?
- What kind of new contracts, deals, or financial instruments are needed in the face of uncertain prices over the short and medium term?

The demand for fertilisers is expected to grow by 40% until 2050 in order to feed a growing population. Responsible for nearly 2% of global emissions, conversion to production with green hydrogen and its derivative ammonia have the opportunity to significantly reduce emissions. This session will be a deep dive into an operational project, producing fertiliser from ammonia, and the business models that make it possible.
Speaker
12:20 -
13:00
In this panel we will examine the hurdles to decarbonise heavy transport, and the practical applications for fuel cells.
- What are the economic factors of operating hydrogen cells vs electric or alternative green fuels?
- What methods of delivery for hydrogen refueling are the most practical, and how can offtakers work with hydrogen producers?
- Are concerns around safety legitimate, and if so how can they be addressed?

Over 1 GW of new hydrogen projects have been announced since April in Portugal. With the pipeline building we will examine the barriers to success, and the future opportunities for green hydrogen.
- An overview of policy changes in the last 12 months – what are the latest opportunities that have opened up?
- Behind the scenes looks at the challenges Portuguese developers are having, and the barriers on the ground when implementing projects.
- A deep dive into the Portuguese auctions: were they successful, and what is the best way to move the market forward in the aftermath?

Sustainable biomethane could fulfil 40-60% of Europe’s gas demand in 2050 and provides a sensible pathway to a circular economy. So how do we get there?
- An introduction to how biomethane can be produced, and the practicality of achieving the volumes required in Europe
- An investigation into the applications of biomethane – where is can be used, and the infrastructure required to operate it
- Accelerating implementation; what policies and financial investment are needed to achieve a biomethane boom?

With demand for green hydrogen expected to grow exponentially in northwest Europe, facilitating the import of green hydrogen from countries all over the world is gaining momentum.
Recognised as a leading international hub for trade in energy products for decades, the port of Amsterdam is uniquely positioned to import, store, release and distribute different modalities carrying green hydrogen. The H2A consortium is dedicated to get the green hydrogen supply chain up and running by importing one million tonnes of 100% green hydrogen to and through the port of Amsterdam annually by 2030.
Speaker

17:30
- A deep dives into the primary storage methods currently used for projects, and the methods on the horizon that could transform the industry
- What are the economic models for storing hydrogen? When is it more economically viable to store hydrogen vs. injection into the grid or alternative methods?
- Under EU directives, power previously had to be used with an hour of production, now it has been extended to 3 months prior with green certificates, what storage options does this open for hydrogen?
