The HEA is the leading trade association for the UK hydrogen sector, representing organisations across the hydrogen value chain, from production and storage to transport, distribution and end use. Working closely with industry, government and regulators, the HEA champions the role of hydrogen in delivering the UK's net-zero ambitions, strengthening energy security and driving economic growth. We are delighted that Dr Emma Guthrie, CEO is joining us at the Hydrogen Innovation and Technology Conference as a plenary speaker. 

The Hydrogen Energy Association (HEA) invites you to join the leaders of the UK hydrogen industry at its 2026 Annual Conference: UK Growth, Energy Security and Decarbonisation on 8–9 July 2026 at the IET Savoy Place in London. Given its central London location, this 300+ delegate event is the key annual opportunity to network and build business with a maximised number of industrial and financial stakeholders in the UK, supplying, off-taking, transporting, storing, using and investing in hydrogen. 

As part of an event partnership between IChemE and the HEA, IChemE members have access to a 25% member discount. Please use the discount code 25PARTNER when booking.

In 2026, the conference will showcase how the UK hydrogen economy can deliver economic growth, energy security and decarbonisation. There will be even greater emphasis on building demand, integrating the voices of hydrogen users and working with developers across industry, mobility and power. Through keynote presentations, panel discussions and networking sessions, delegates will gain insights into the latest policy developments, investment opportunities and real-world hydrogen deployment projects shaping the UK's energy future.

The exhibition sits at the heart of the conference, where all the networking and catering takes place. It is an intimate event with effective targeted access to the decision makers of the UK hydrogen industry. Exhibiting gives you a chance to maximise brand visibility, build valuable networks and grow business in the UK and beyond.

Some of the confirmed companies participating in this year's edition include MorGen, ITM Power, Progressive Energy, Kimberly-Clark working with Carlton Power, Ministry of Defence, Lower Thames Crossing, Heidelberg Materials, Glass Futures, GB Energy, Luxfer Gas Cylinders, Pressure Tech and Stäubli UK Ltd.
