The Maritime Hydrogen Conference - 10 years
10 years back - 10 years forward
Lessons learned. Decisions ahead
This year, the Maritime Hydrogen Conference celebrates its 10-year anniversary. Over the past decade, the conference has become an important meeting place for industry leaders, policymakers, researchers and innovators working to accelerate the use of hydrogen in the maritime sector.
This year’s theme, “10 Years Back – 10 Years Forward: Lessons Learned. Decisions Ahead.”, reflects on the journey so far while looking ahead to what the next decade will require.
Together with visionaries, pioneers, researchers and industry actors, we will reflect on the key lessons from the past ten years and discuss the decisions that must be made to move the hydrogen economy forward.
The programme mirrors this perspective – looking back at how the industry has developed over the past decade, while exploring the opportunities, challenges and decisions that will shape the next ten years, with a forward-looking perspective on emerging technologies such as AI
