Events

A rare opportunity – to learn from the organisations at the leading edges of the development of the Hydrogen sector – their research, technology, projects, products, services and routes for investment.
The Hydrogen Conference takes place for the first time on September 9 2025 at a University venue in the Midlands in the UK. Full details are being finalised. Following the Conference, the highly regarded international Hydrogen Awards will be presented at a black-tie Awards dinner on the evening of September 16th

Presentations from organizations at the cutting or leading edge of building a hydrogen economy, together with networking opportunities, mean that The Hydrogen Conference will deliver content that shouldn’t be missed.
And, of course, the big question will also be under discussion...
“How to Build a Hydrogen Economy?”

The mix of expert presentation, case studies (including input from end users), animated discussion between audience and stage, coupled with great networking in a great venue on a campus that has a leading reputation in R&D on Hydrogen and a reputation for excellent food and service, will make for a compelling, vibrant conference.

Why hold the Conference? And why focus on building a hydrogen economy?
Since launching four years ago, the one question repeatedly asked about the Hydrogen Awards’ winners is why one company won, rather than any other finalists in a category, and what was it that made their entry special. The Hydrogen Conference will hear from the front line about what organizations did to achieve their Hydrogen Awards’ glory – and there will be evidence of groundbreaking genius at work.


• What differentiated the Winners from the other finalists?

• What made their Hydrogen offering stand out?

• What has happened to their organization since?

• What plans do the winners have to develop their Hydrogen projects next?

• What have they learned in the process, and what will they do differently next?

The Hydrogen Conference should not be missed! 


Delegates at will hear from leading companies in the Hydrogen sector and from Universities and their partners:
• What does it take to achieve best practice and how do partnerships work best? 

• How to differentiate through a best-in-class Hydrogen initiative? 

• The golden rules of Hydrogen - is it time to re-think the H&S rule book? 

• What part does marketing play and how to use it effectively? 


Networking 

If success depends on who you know, this is the place to be:
The Hydrogen Conference – is about learning from one’s peers. It is also about getting to know them, so networking is of primary importance. 

A welcome reception on September 16th - the evening before the Conference begins - with entertainment and appetisers – not to mention some wine tasting – will ensure that new contacts can be made and turned into strong business relationships over the course of the Conference and in months and years to come. 


During the Conference, you will feel you are in a roomful of colleagues and friends, ready to question, challenge and discuss the leading-edge issues with the speakers and the panel members. Following the conference, you will be able to access presentations from the speakers, the delegate list and a summary of the important issues discussed. This should give you everything you need to raise your knowledge of the Hydrogen sector to the next level.
Adding credibility and reach to the Conference is the support of Engineering Hydrogen Solutions as a media partner and of Hydrogen England, ERA and HyDEX.
This is a conference that shouldn’t be missed!

• A Sector in Need of Acceleration: 50% of companies worldwide are developing a roadmap and setting decarbonization goals, but we are far from the 2050 targets
• The EU has allocated €4,500 billion in investments to meet the 'Fit for 55' package targets by 2030, while Italy’s National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) estimates over €900 billion in resources mobilized by 2030
• NetZero Milan: a new project designed to support the industry, built on four pillars: technology, policy, business, and finance

Milan, June 24, 2024 – Fiera Milano presents NetZero Milan, an expo-summit dedicated to industrial sector decarbonization, scheduled to take place from May 14-16, 2025 at Allianz MiCo, Europe’s largest convention center. This event aims to gather C-level executives, corporate decision-makers, and international stakeholders to discuss and promote innovative solutions for a zero-emission economy.

“NetZero Milan represents the first new event confirming the positive start of Fiera Milano’s 2024-2027 strategic plan execution,” - said Francesco Conci, CEO and General Manager of Fiera Milano. “With this new initiative, our goal is to support the industrial world, especially sectors that are hard to decarbonize, by helping them identify strategies, tools, and technologies to efficiently navigate the decarbonization path towards the 2030 and 2050 strategic horizons. The international context is significantly driving the change process and energy transition of companies. In the coming years, it will likely become strategic for Italy and Europe to work towards developing a leadership role in alternative energy generation and distribution. Additionally, through the themes addressed by NetZero Milan, we aim to emphasize the importance of sustainability integrated into business, which is at the core of Fiera Milano's strategic vision. Defining it within the company’s business model is a qualifying criterion and a competitive advantage in the international landscape”.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), over 70% of new energy generation capacity by 2030 must come from renewable sources to maintain the net-zero emissions goal by 2050. Currently, the probability of meeting the Paris Agreement and limiting global warming to 1.5°C is only 14%. A recent Roland Berger analysis shows that, globally, about 50% of companies are developing a roadmap and setting decarbonization goals, but acceleration is needed. Today, ambition levels are still low: only 10-15% of large companies aim to reduce emissions of 50% by 2030, while the sum of current targets would only lead to a maximum reduction of 20%.

Europe has initiated a profound structural change in its economic system with a clear goal: to assume technological leadership in the fight against climate change. This is a significant economic challenge that will mobilize over €4,500 billion in investments across the EU to meet the 'Fit for 55' package targets by 2030. For Italy, this means mobilizing over €900 billion in resources by 2030 as estimated in the PNIEC (National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan).

A qualitative leap is needed to put the world on the right path towards a more sustainable future, directing industries towards reducing both direct and indirect emissions from purchased energy or supply chains.

NetZero Milan aims to support companies in this challenge, particularly those active in the hard-to-abate sectors, like steel, cement, and paper. It proposes to be a multi-technology and multi-stakeholder platform involving all technologies capable of contributing to the decarbonization goal: from utility-scale and industrial solar to hydropower and wind power, from energy storage to green hydrogen, from emerging energy technologies to new fuels, and solutions for CO2 emissions removal and compensation. It will also focus on electrification, digitalization, and decarbonization solutions designed for industries with the highest environmental impact, addressing policy and green financing issues. This project is built on four pillars: technology, policy, business, and finance. It is essential for every company to have the skills and tools to embark on a tailor-made change path, balancing actions strategically and financially to combine efficiency, security, and competitiveness.

NetZero Milan, through collaboration with recognized knowledge partners in the energy and industrial sectors such as the ECCO think tank and Roland Berger consultancy, intends to enhance dialogue and discussion on innovation themes. The sharing of vision and knowledge will also be at the heart of the preparatory events over the coming months, providing an initial networking opportunity in view of the May 2025 event.

• Tailored program dedicated to addressing US and Canadian hydrogen challenges, exploring solutions, and seizing opportunities.

London, UK – April 15, 2024: World Hydrogen Leaders announce that the “World Hydrogen North America 2024” congress and exhibition will be taking place in Houston, Texas from May 21^st- 23^rd. Mirroring the rapidly accelerating progress across the North American hydrogen landscape, the program has doubled in size from 2023 and will see key players across the hydrogen value chain gather to align on solutions to current challenges.

A report from the Deloitte Center for Sustainable Progress identified the potential for hydrogen growing from USD 642 billion by 2030, to USD 980 billion by 2040, and USD 1.4 trillion by 2050. But with such opportunity come challenges that need to be urgently addressed.

The 3-day event is one of the largest and most influential in the industry and will host over 1,200 attendees from organisations across the US and Canada. Representing the top hydrogen minds, over 200 renowned industry speakers will oversee panel discussions and round tables on dozens of critical hydrogen topics - and back by popular demand, a full day of masterclasses which will deeply dive into priority issues including the IRA, derivatives, electrolyzers, safety and more. Additionally, the conference will address whether the current policy levels for the US and Canada are adequate to instigate the rapid scale-up needed, as well as enlightening case studies from Texas and California.

“As the energy capital of the world, Houston sits at the epicenter of the global hydrogen landscape,” said Nadim Chaudhry, Chief Executive Officer, World Hydrogen Leaders. “The city brims with leading hydrogen experts and innovation ecosystems, so is the perfect venue for this influential gathering of industry leaders. And with 80 percent of speakers and attendees at VP, director or C-level roles, World Hydrogen North America has demonstrated that it not only attracts seasoned experts within the industry, but those with the capacity for real decision-making.”

The keynote speakers are well recognised hydrogen trailblazers and include Katrina Fritz, President & CEO, California Hydrogen Business Council; Frank Wolak, President and Chief Executive Officer, Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association and Daniel Dus, CEO, United States, ACME, among many others.

“The hydrogen and clean energy sectors in North America have experienced an unprecedented surge over the last year, marked by significant policy shifts including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act in the U.S., and the Clean Hydrogen Investment Tax Credit in Canada,” said Katrina Fritz President & CEO, California Hydrogen Business Council. “However, to address evolving regulations and required development of the supply chain, collaboration between industry leaders is imperative.”
