HYDROGEN INFRASTRUCTURE - FACING THE CHALLENGES
Organised by: TransHyDE project System Analysis
10:00 - 12:00 CET
HYDROGEN INFRASTRUCTURE - FACING THE CHALLENGES
Event description: Hydrogen will make a crucial contribution to the decarbonization of European economies. In order to achieve the given goals, an ambitious ramp-up to establish hydrogen markets is necessary. On the one hand, hydrogen production capacities and import possibilities must be build up, and on the other hand, processes and technologies must be converted to hydrogen. Another requirement is the development of the necessary infrastructure. The TransHyDE-project System Analysis (one of ten projects within the TransHyDE technology platform, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) is investigating, on the basis of various scenarios, how much hydrogen will be demanded in Europe until 2045, from which sources the demand could be satisfied and which hydrogen transport infrastructures will be needed. The main objective is to develop a roadmap that bundles the production potentials and requirements and presents possible expansion scenarios for a hydrogen infrastructure for the period up to 2045. At this side event, we will present preliminary project results and invite you to discuss challenges and possible obstacles with us at internal and external expert presentations as well as a panel discussion.
Moderation: : Dr. Florian Ausfelder, Head of Energy and Climate, DECHEMA e.V., Prof. Dr. Mario Ragwitz, Fraunhofer Research Institution for Energy Infrastructures and Geothermal Systems IEG

MULTHYFUEL – SAFETY AND PERMITTING FOR HYDROGEN AT MULTIFUEL STATIONS
Organised by: MultHyFuel project
09:00 - 13:00 CET
MULTHYFUEL – SAFETY AND PERMITTING FOR HYDROGEN AT MULTIFUEL STATIONS
Event description: Want to deploy Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (HRS), but don’t have the right regulatory and safety framework? Not sure where to look? MultHyFuel project is aiming to contribute to the effective deployment of hydrogen as an alternative fuel by developing a common strategy for implementing HRS in a multi-fuel context (i.e. within existing stations). One of its goals is to examine and harmonize existing laws and standards, based on practical, theoretical and experimental data. Alongside continuous engagement with key stakeholders, MultHyFuel plans to develop specific guidelines that will assist HRS operators and public authorities in faster implementation of HRS.
Within this webinar, we will introduce our results – including:
- Analysis of permitting rules for the implementation of HRS in selected EU countries
- Experimentation results: Leakage, clouds and ignition
- Experimentation results: Fire and explosion
- Analysis of risk assessments and how it contributes to guideline development
During the event, we will engage into a fruitful discussion with HRS operators, manufacturers and public authorities, gathering and unifying experiences and knowledge that will increase the quality of the main output – the guideline for multi-fuel stations and recommendations for informing future standards!
Join us at the event, as your inputs will be highly valuable and appreciated!

HIGGS PROJECT CLOSING EVENT
Event description: The HIGGS project aims to demonstrate that the safe injection of hydrogen into the EU high-pressure, transmission natural gas grid is a sustainable and long-term solution to decarbonise the energy system. Through systematic validation and testing, the project has identified key enablers and barriers for the integration of hydrogen in the gas network. On November 21st 2023, the team of researcher engaged in the HIGGS project will present their results and conclusions in a public conference. This conference will take place on the Brussels Expo during the EU Hydrogen Week and marks the final phase of the project. It gathers insights and the latest results on hydrogen injection in gas grids with the aim to be presented to experts and stakeholders in the field of the gas sector and particularly the field of hydrogen integration into the EU gas grids. During the closing event, we will share the main findings, recommendations, and a pathway for higher concentrations of hydrogen in the natural gas transmission grid.

EUROPE AND BEYOND - STRATEGIC IMPORTS AND THE GLOBAL HYDROGEN VALUE CHAIN
Organised by: Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (German Institute for International and Security Affairs)
10:00 - 13:00 CET
EUROPE AND BEYOND - STRATEGIC IMPORTS AND THE GLOBAL HYDROGEN VALUE CHAIN
Event description: Two central issues tie the EU’s hydrogen ambitions to the foreign sphere: imports and global value chains. REPowerEU seeks to supply half of the demand by 2030 from abroad, posing a technological challenge but even more a political one. On top of that, Europe is about to be entangled in a global(-ised) hydrogen value chain. Raw materials and energy equipment, like solar panels, come from abroad and create substantial dependencies. Thus, foresight and proactiveness are needed to ensure Europe’s strategic autonomy, not only vis-à-vis suppliers but also competitors in technology exports such as China and the US. Throughout four independent yet connected sessions, this event will present, discuss, and advance the insights generated in the project ‘Geopolitics of the Energy Transition – Hydrogen (GET-H2)’, funded by the German Federal Foreign Office. Our event targets policymakers, business representatives, and experts alike and engages them in a discourse surrounding the international dimension of hydrogen. Together with several high-level invitees and our expert audience, we will address pressuring questions for the sector.
Agenda
Launch of the SWP Flagship Report ‘The Geopolitics of Hydrogen’: Value-chains, players, scenarios - Presentation of SWP's ground-breaking study which analyses how power dynamics, dependencies, and global politics influence the emerging hydrogen market. At the study's core are three captivating scenarios of the global hydrogen economy by 2040.
Global value chains, diversified technologies, and the European industry — are we really ready for hydrogen? -Panel discussion with European policymakers and industry representatives on the complexity of hydrogen value chains within the European context, focusing on raw materials, technology leadership, strategic autonomy, and the role of major players like China and the US.

CHILE: CURRENT HYDROGEN PROJECTS AND BUSINESS POTENTIAL
Organised by: Project Team Europe for the Development of the Renewable Hydrogen Chile (implemented by GIZ Chile) and International PtX Hub
16:00 - 17:30 CET
CHILE: CURRENT HYDROGEN PROJECTS AND BUSINESS POTENTIAL
Event description: With its enormous renewable energy potential and ambitious green hydrogen strategy, Chile is considered one of the world's pioneers in green hydrogen production. The country has a portfolio of over 60 green hydrogen projects. Some of these projects are already under development phase and aiming for long-term offtake agreements. Several European private companies are involved in the development of investment projects for the production of ammonia, e-fuels and the export of renewable hydrogen.
The Project Team Europe for the renewable hydrogen development in Chile (RH2), co-financed by the European Union (UE) and the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), is the main vehicle for implementing the Team Europe Initiative for the development of the renewable hydrogen in Chile, which is a jointly effort of the EU and its Member States for boosting the cooperation with Chile in the deployment of its renewable hydrogen economy.
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is one of the implementing agencies of the project which seeks (a) to strengthen the enabling environment for hydrogen development, (b) improve capacity building and knowledge transfer, (c) boost technological development, (d) analyze new models for shared infrastructure and sustainability impact assessments, and (e) support the financial closure of investment initiatives and private cooperation.
Join this session hosted by the International PtX Hub and GIZ Team Europe Initiative Project for the Development of Renewable Hydrogen in Chile to learn about current projects, activities and companies active in the green hydrogen and Power-to-X sector in Chile; and to exchange on EU activities and private cooperation with participants and representatives of the Chilean Hydrogen Business Network.
