                                             Hydrogen has been talked about for decades, but only recently
                    HYDROGEN                 things have appeared to be accelerating, as investments and
                    INDUSTRIAL               government support are growing, and the hydrogen technology is
                    SERIES                   ready to further scale-up. Hydrogen will play a crucial role in
                    NORTH AMERICA            meeting the net zero target by the year 2050, as it could help
                                             decarbonization efforts in a number of sectors, particularly
                                             important in sectors that are hard to electrify and where greeouse
                                             gas emissions are difficult to abate. However, a number of
                                             regulatory issues will need to be addressed before hydrogen can
                                             play a larger role in the domestic industries.

                                             Hydrogen Industrial Series 2021 - North America will delve deep
                                             to uncover the potential for hydrogen across North America. On

08:50 Chairman’s Opening Remarks

09:00 SESSION 1
      THE EMERGING HYDROGEN ECONOMY – NORTH AMERICAN MARKET OVERVIEW
          The emerging hydrogen economy has great potential to enhance the North American energy
          security and vastly reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. The growing international
          develompent of hydrogen infrastructure, trade, and technology is creating unique partnerships
          across nations and continents. What has changed since the 2016th Paris agreement in the North
          American hydrogen sector?

          • US Hydrogen Road Map: California and Texas leading the way
          • Canada, the first North American country to develop a national hydrogen strategy

          Bill Zobel, Executive Director, California Hydrogen Business Council
          Mark Kirby, President and CEO, Canadian Hydrogen Fuel Cell Association
          Alberto Escofet, Country Manager, Enagás

10:00 SESSION 2
      HYDROGEN PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES: CURRENT STATE AND FUTURE
      DEVELOPMENTS
          Increasing concerns about carbon emissions and the need to decarbonize the industrial,
          commercial, transport, and power sectors have forced countries to reduce their dependency on
          fossil fuel-based systems and increase deployment of renewable energy sources. The vast majority
          of the hydrogen produced today for industrial use is the so-called “grey” hydrogen. On the other
          hand, at a cost of about $6/kg, green hydrogen is the most expensive form of hydrogen to produce.

           •    Utilizing green hydrogen to achieve net-zero emissions
           •    Green hydrogen: a catalyst accelerating transition toward sustainable green economy
           •    Opportunities for hydrogen production from renewable and sustainable energy resources
           •    Going green or going blue: what is the optimal mix?
           •    Hydrogen electrolyzers lowering the cost of hydrogen production making it more competitive

          Thomas Murray, VP Decarbonization Technology, Vermont Gas Systems

11:00 – 11:30 Morning Networking Break

Organized by:                                                                                        |   06

  11:30 Panel Discussion
        SCALING UP HYDROGEN PRODUCTION AND MEETING THE GROWING DEMAND:
        GLOBAL TRENDS, CHALLENGES AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
            Today, the production of hydrogen is responsible for 830 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per
            year. Reducing emissions from existing hydrogen production is a challenge but also represents an
             opportunity to increase the scale of clean hydrogen worldwide.

                •   Economic aspects on hydrogen production: is hydrogen truly cost competitive fuel?
                •   Using gas networks to scale up hydrogen
                •   Growing opportunities for international hydrogen production and trade on a global scale
                •   Prospects for building a hydrogen energy infrastructure

            Zac Lowe, Director, Southern Company Gas
            Kristine Wiley, Director of the GTI Hydrogen Technology Center, Gas Technology Institute GTI
            Andrew Martinez, Hydrogen Program Expert, California Air Resources Board
            Panel Moderator: Emanuel Wagner, Deputy Director, California Hydrogen Business Council

12:10 SESSION 3
      LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN HYDROGEN STORAGE AND SAFETY SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY
          The successful adoption and commercialization of hydrogen relies on strategically integrated
          infrastructure and storage solutions. Hydrogen storage technologies are playing a critical role in
          the so-called hydrogen economy and the advancement of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.

          • Hydrogen storage – a big technological barrier to the development of hydrogen fuel cell cars
          • Large-scale storage of hydrogen: Cost benefits of optimizing hydrogen storage
          • Hydrogen safety concerns: codes, standards and regulations

          Dave Edwards, Director and Advocate for Hydrogen Energy, Air Liquide

 13:10 – 14:00 LUNCH BREAK

14:00 SESSION 4
      HOW IS HYDROGEN REVOLUTIONIZING THE MOBILITY SECTOR?
          As the transport industry seeks solutions to decarbonize, fuel cell electric vehicles are emerging as
          a complementary technology to battery electric vehicles. Hydrogen poses opportunities, but at the
          same time infrastructural, logistical and safety challenges.

           • Challenges of Scaling Hydrogen Infrastructure
           • 3 years after the Metrolinx Hydrail study, where are we at?
           • Hydrogen fuel cell buses - When do the benefits outweigh the costs?

 15:40 – 16:10 Afternoon Networking Break

 16:10 SESSION 5
       ARE HYDROGEN FUEL CELL ELECTRIC VEHICLES THE FUTURE OF THE PASSENGER AND
        FREIGHT TRANSPORT?
          Hydrogen and fuel cells are critical elements in the decarbonization of the transportation sector.
          Many experts nowadays believe that we will soon find ourselves using fuel cells to generate electri-
          cal power for all sorts of objects we use in our everyday lives. But even with the rapid
          technical advances fuel cells cannot yet compete economically with the more traditional energy
          technologies.

           •    Hydrogen fuel cells, pros and cons
           •    The roadmap to the commercialization of hydrogen FCEVs
           •    Hydrogen - the solution to heavy duty vehicles decarbonization
           •    Hydrogen powered air transportation: how far is it from becoming a reality?

16:30 SESSION 6
      THE ROLE OF HYDROGEN IN DECARBONIZING MARITIME & PORT OPERATIONS
         Sea ports are users of heavy diesel equipment and are under pressure to reduce emissions that lead
         to poor air quality and contribute to global warming. Marine applications also show strong potential
         for hydrogen adoption in both the U.S. and Canada.

          • Hydrogen and fuel cells in maritime and port applications
          • Ports paving the way for the hydrogen sector

16:50      SESSION 7
           IS GREEN HYDROGEN THE FUEL OF THE FUTURE?

           Currently, green hydrogen accounts for less than 1% of the total hydrogen produced.
           The global demand for green hydrogen and its emerging applications is expected to increase
            exponentially in the next 30 years. Will this be the fuel of the future?

           • Is green hydrogen the future of electricity storage?
           • Green hydrogen is gaining momentum, but still has a long way to go before becoming main
             stream
