The World Hydrogen Congress was held on October 11-13, 2022 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The event is organized by World Hydrogen Leaders, the exclusive hydrogen executive membership community. The mission of the World Hydrogen Congress is to accelerate the global commercialization of clean hydrogen and to help connect the industry by providing an annual event with high-quality content and high-intensity networking. GenH2 presented at the conference in two different sessions focused on Hydrogen Technologies at this year’s event. “It was really beneficial to all of us to have the opportunity to speak with international industry leaders at this elite conference where the hydrogen world comes to do business.”
One of the main takeaways from this event was that everyone is starting to see that the hydrogen industry is maturing and the demand for a new clean energy alternative is quickly pointing to hydrogen, especially liquid hydrogen. According to attendees, everyone acknowledged the future needs to be liquid hydrogen for purity and safety as well as optimal storage space. “It’s going to take everybody coming together and working together for the hydrogen economy to be successful.”
Joining 2,000 attendees and 250 speakers from forty countries, GenH2 spoke twice on stage on Thursday, October 13th. First as part of a panel, alongside Andreas Frixen of Alstom Group and Berit Hinnemann of Maersk, at 11:50 am titled “Making the business case for zero-emission: air transport, shipping and mobility.” The panel, which was moderated by Claire Behar of Hy Stor Energy, focused on:
• Creating an infrastructure system to feed heavy transport and aviation
• How will the electrification industry complement hydrogen?
• How can production scale up if the infrastructure isn’t in place?
• Strategies for increasing deployment: volumes and cost
• SAF, CO2 capture, and the decarbonization of the aviation industry
GenH2 also presented on stage at 2:30 pm, during which they presented GenH2’s state-of-the-art cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage technology, long-term industrial zero-loss solutions and the process of building large-scale liquefaction plants.
Everyone at the conference acknowledged that fossil fuels are finite, “As an industry, we are at risk of doing too little, too late if we don’t address the big picture surrounding infrastructure immediately,”. “Now is the opportunity for the U.S. to move ahead in the global hydrogen race,” said attendees at the event.
GenH2 has announced plans to mass-produce light scale modular systems to support a variety of end-use cases for land, air, sea, and space. Its products are designed to be flexible and scalable and controlled by an integral central processing capability for a new generation of safe, reliable gaseous and liquid hydrogen-based solutions. The company is rapidly expanding and intends to be a key player in the clean energy future.
