Green Hydrogen Forum & Expo at The smarter E Europe 2022 – May 11 – 13, 2022.
Hydrogen enabling the circular economy & decarbonisation
Green Hydrogen Economy is an essential part of the solution that Europe can act in the future much more independent from insecure countries, from crises and wars.
The mission of the Green Hydrogen Forum is to inform industry, politics and investors about visions, realisation plans and projects, ongoing and growing partnerships, collaboration and real large scale implementations. The participants learn about the ongoing dropping of administrative and political hurdles, how investment security through risk and purchase guarantees makes the technology bankable and enables investments and scaling up of production, storage and transport infrastructure for and in Europe. All these are important pillars leading to a strong green hydrogen economy – the key to Europe’s future independence.
The opening session is outlining the frame and set-up of the 3 day program and the speaker highlights. The economic efficiency of hydrogen and its significance for Germany and Europe will be discussed by Government bodies and industry associations. They share their visions and increasingly the concrete steps towards materialisation, and how the political support will enable the market. It will also be illustrated how hydrogen can increase the resilience of the energy system by reducing imports of fossil fuels and diversifying the supplier countries, and how to establish cooperation and joint infrastructure development with renewable energy rich countries.
This session presents the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking and Hydrogen Europe’s Lighthouse Initiative to highlight Europ’s path from research and innovation to GW scale lighthouses. Europe’s industrial stance is analysed in comparison to other international actors on the level of Intellectual Property, showing strengths and areas for catch-up in the hydrogen ecosystem.

The third session offers a top-class panel discussion. At the GHF 2021, the “Green Hydrogen Manifesto” with 12 focussed demands to policy makers and governments was signed by over 100 companies and organizations. Speakers of the previous sessions will debate the status of the implementation and further required actions to get hydrogen to industrial scale to enable the circular economy and full decarbonization. The audience can raise questions to the experts to challenge their visions and learn about the path forward.
A hydrogen economy at scale will complement the renewable sector to build a resilient energy system. Is an entire re-built required, or can existing assets contribute to an accelerated transition? What infrastructure exists and what will be further required? The speakers’ organizations develop infrastructure projects to offer green H2 at economical costs and present opportunities and challenges. Expect real-world answers and a look at upcoming investments.
Green Hydrogen requires Green Energy, mostly electricity. Should electricity be produced for the mere production of hydrogen? To what extent can hydrogen enable to up-take of RES and rugidise the overall energy system? The coupling of the electricity and gas sector is a key for the domestic production of green hydrogen. Pioneering projects will be presented to share experiences and disucss bottlenecks on the level of regulation, public acceptance and further optimization potentials.
This panel discussion will focus on which Hydrogen Mix takes to create a robust hydrogen economy. What does the Green Hydrogen Manifesto call for? How much import, how much domestic H2 is needed? How will the necessary infrastructure conversion and expansion work, and how will it interact with the electricity industry – physically but also in terms of price. Experts from the previous sessions will debate on the shades of the “Green” of Hydrogen and also answer challenging questions from the audience.
This session is organised in collaboration with the DWV (German Hydrogen Association). Applications using hydrogen, electrolysers and fuel cells have a high potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and offer increasingly added values beyond. Leading examples of use of hydrogen in transportation and mobility are presented.
This session is organised in collaboration with the VDE. The improvement of bankability and insurability for products, processes and projects with renewable energies and the transferability on H2-technologies will be presented. In addition, the criterias to enable the financing of transport vehicles, fleets and infrastructure with emerging technologies will be outlined. Experiences, lessons learnt and success stories from the other related areas such as PV and batteries are given. Though not everything can be transferred easily to the H2 value chain, the approaches remain similar and the need for action is getting gradually apparent.
