Balance of Power: Exploring the Global Hydrogen Market and Europe's Role in a Sustainable Energy Future with Prof. Dr. Christopher Hebling

The session titled "Balance of Power, a global game for hydrogen" addresses the critical role of hydrogen in stabilizing power systems amid fluctuating renewable energy availability. The moderator underscores the significance of energy storages and how hydrogen can effectively balance power systems, marking it as pivotal in transitioning to sustainable energy futures. Hydrogen is highlighted as both a domestic and international resource requiring strategic supplier countries that could contribute significantly to Europe’s energy economy. The session aims to explore various dimensions of the global hydrogen markets including economic costs, transportable volumes, infrastructure needs, and policy frameworks essential for market development. Emphasis is placed on the rapid evolution and substantial potential within the billion-dollar global hydrogen market which includes diverse vectors such as liquid hydrogen, ammonia, and e-fuels influenced by regional dynamics. However, there remains a gap between strategy formation or agreements and actionable implementations necessitating effective government incentives. Prof. Dr. Christopher Hebling from Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Germany will provide an expert's perspective on these issues due to his extensive involvement in international hydrogen strategies.
