Hydrogen technology and supply have been gaining strategic importance globally. In a context of climate change, supply chain crisis and war, the yet young technology has been put on top of the agenda of all the big economic zones. The session discusses what policy makers should do and effectively do, how industry adapts and adopts, and how this translates into industrial action.

The continuous improvement of network development plans and flexibility strategies is crucial for addressing the challenges of grid congestion and ensuring effective capacity management. Innovative deployment strategies and business models promote the seamless integration of storage systems, which in turn enhances grid stability and optimizes energy management system costs. At the same time we look in this session at the dynamic landscape of large, grid-connected storage that requires careful consideration of integration timelines to ensure sustainable and future-proof energy utilization.

Long-duration energy storage (LDES) is undoubtedly a key enabler for achieving net-zero. However, despite a wide range of technology providers claiming cost competitiveness and other advantages over lithium-ion batteries, the latter continue to dominate new deployments. So what's holding LDES back? What is needed to enable more widespread adoption? And when will the age of LDES finally arrive?

Hailed as the perfect solution for solar in the building environment for many years, only a very limited number of building integrated systems have been installed for various reasons. With the first cities, states and countries having passed laws for mandatory solar inclusion for new houses and leading global module manufacturers launching first BIPV products, it looks like the time has come for this to change.

Hybrid solar power plants are an emerging area in the energy sector, combining various technologies to provide more efficient and reliable power generation. With a close look on various case studies of hybrid solar power plants we will demonstrate that these systems are increasingly being used as viable solutions to meet growing energy demands, particularly in regions with variable weather conditions. By integrating solar installations with other energy sources, such as wind power or conventional power plants, a continuous power supply can be ensured, even when solar radiation fluctuates.

Do we have enough workforce to meet the solar / renewable ambition? Is the workforce trained enough to meet quality requirements? What kind of support does the sector expect from national and international institutions? How can we manage a proper transitioning of human capital from oil & gas to renewables?
