KEYNOTE PRESENTATION ON THE STATE OF THE MARKET, INFRASTRUCTURE READINESS & FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES

 The hydrogen market is picking up pace, driven by industry ambition for large-scale decarbonisation as well as regulatory issues, government mandates and changes in law and policy. There’s a lot happening and happening fast. The limiting factor for application of hydrogen is not technology – it is the availability of hydrogen, lack of infrastructure and the total cost of ownership.

This state of industry keynote presentation will give attendees a 30,000ft view on what exactly is happening in the hydrogen business, where the fuel cell market is headed and where markets are, when infrastructure will be ready and what future technologies are on the horizon.

Take a front row seat in the audience and:

• Understand where the hydrogen combustion and hydrogen fuel cell market is headed – what is the customers’ status, needs and requirements
• Hear where hydrogen infrastructure is currently available and what is planned to go live imminently
• Listen to how the hydrogen vehicle market will evolve as infrastructure develops
• Understand what future technologies are expected to launch in the near future and how they will co-exist with what exists already

Question & Answer Session

PANEL DISCUSSION

 Awareness of the actual steps currently being taken by policy makers and contracting parties to build infrastructure is critical for the hydrogen vehicle value chain to make their own immediate steps that are in line with actual advancement instead of vague, distant plans.

 Experts with detailed understanding of real-time UN, national, and regional infrastructure contracts will give a comprehensive progress summaries that will include key end goals and dates.

• Review the progress of key infrastructure projects worldwide
• Gain insight into the timeline and likely completion of infrastructure construction

ESTABLISHING THE ZERO-EMISSION ALTERNATIVE WITH THE LOWERST TCO

Meeting emission targets is of course important from a corporate social responsibility perspective, but this should not come at the expense of the financial viability of the automotive industry. Getting a balanced perspective of the total costs of ownership (TCO) of zero-emission transport alternatives will allow attendees to understand which alternative would create the most competitive TCO for their specific enterprise.

• Review the TCO for fuel cell, hydrogen ICE, and battery electric vehicles
• Learn how TCO varies depending on application
• Understand which zero-emission alternative would give competitive TCOs for your specific application

PRESENTATION

Hydrogen technology has only recently been made commercially available, however research and development in the field has made great strides since its inception. It is important to reflect on how much progress has been made whilst also appreciating what is required for hydrogen vehicles to become a true presence in the automotive industry.

• Reflect on how hydrogen engineering has advanced in recent years
• Assess what engineering innovations are needed to push commercialisation

Question & Answer Session

PRESENTATION

Hydrogen vehicles have seen the most traction for heavy duty applications. Understanding why it has proven to be a suitable zero-emission solution for this specific application will give insight into how the industry should approach hydrogen technology in other automotive spaces.

• Examine why hydrogen systems have been successful in the heavy-duty sector
• Learn how knowledge from the heavy-duty sector can be used for other applications

Question & Answer Session

PRESENTATION

For heavy-duty hydrogen vehicles to achieve their true potential, a robust and reliable refuelling system must be put in place. Reviewing the specific needs of heavy-duty vehicles and the shortfalls within current infrastructure will allow for more guided construction to facilitate the growing zero-emission heavy-duty industry.

• Review the requirements of an efficient heavy-duty refuelling system
• Come to a consensus on how to develop infrastructure to best serve heavy-duty vehicles

PRESENTATION ASSESSING THE PROS AND CONS OF EACH OPTION FOR A REAL-LIFE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM

Luxembourg has been a pioneer in electrifying its public transport system. After almost a decade of first-hand experience with battery electric buses, it is the right time to ask questions about how to minimise operating costs of existing fleets, and how to make more informed choices when procuring new buses and planning depots.

One might ask whether the dominating battery electric buses should be complemented with fuel cell electric vehicles in certain operating scenarios.

• Review real-life data from an experienced electrified public bus service
• Assess the pros and cons of fuel cell electric and battery electric buses
• Understand the likely outcomes within the next 10 years and from 2035 onwards
