Hydrogen has been touted as a key element of Ireland's future energy mix, but it's generation, storage, distribution and end-use is subject to many technical and economic challenges. A diverse panel of industry and academic specialists in the field of hydrogen will discuss recent developments in hydrogen integration and energy strategy, as well as novel technologies and technical/safety challenges. The event is an ideal forum to network in the space of hydrogen energy.

Key note talks:

• Prof David Rooney (QUB): Hydrogen costs, challenges and implications – A Northern Ireland analysis.
• Prof Peter Robertson (QUB): Hydrogen production from biomass photocatalytic/photoelectrochemical degradation.
• Dr Michael Brandon (DCU): Novel flow electrolyser development and scale-up challenges for hydrogen technology.
• Mutual Energy: Hydrogen Blending in Ireland's Gas Grid.
• Mannok: Learnings from Mannok's Energy Valley Initiative.
• Followed by panel discussion and audience Q&A.

This hybrid in-person/webinar event is particularly geared towards engineers, researchers, project managers and EHS specialists, who are interested in Ireland's clean-energy transition.
