Global experts at ADIPEC to discuss critical role of hydrogen in future renewable energy mix

Global experts at ADIPEC to discuss critical role of hydrogen in future renewable energy mix

Abu Dhabi:  Taking place immediately after the UN climate meeting COP

26, ADIPEC will bring together hundreds of ministers, policymakers and business leaders

from across the world to share perspectives on how hydrogen can potentially deliver a

holistic, clean, integrated approach to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region’s

energy sector.

 

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of

the UAE and hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and supported by

the UAE Ministry of Energy and Industry, the Abu Dhabi Chamber, and the Abu Dhabi

Tourism and Culture Authority, ADIPEC takes place in-person at ADNEC in Abu Dhabi from

15-18 November 2021.

According to a recent Goldman Sachs report, green hydrogen could meet up to 25% of the

world’s energy requirements in less than 30 years, with a market value in excess of $10

trillion.  To emphasise the importance of hydrogen in a diversified energy sector and address

the challenges and opportunities of producing green and blue hydrogen on a mega

industrial-scale, ADIPEC has dedicated seven sessions to hydrogen during its Strategic

Conference.

The sessions will focus on critical industry topics such as building a sustainable hydrogen

economy, establishing a policy framework to promote hydrogen deployment, repurposing

value chains, managing supply and demand dynamics, and up-scaling.

Expert speakers participating in the ADIPEC hydrogen sessions include  Dr Samir J.

Serhan , COO, Air Products;         Martin Houston , Vice Chairman, Tellurian;            Dr Christoph

Noeres , Head of Green Hydrogen, Thyssenkrupp;             John Kent            , Chief Energy Transition

Officer, Kent;  Alicia Eastman      , Co-Founder and President InterContinental Energy;       Paul

Bogers ,   Vice   President   –   Hydrogen   Shell;  Andy   Hemingway          ,   President,   Energy

Optimisation & Innovation, Wood PLC;   Brandon Spencer             , President - Energy Industries,

ABB;  Daniel Teichmann , CEO, Hydrogenious; and             Rod Christie        , Executive Vice President

of Turbomachinery & Process Solutions, Baker Hughes.

Christopher Hudson, Global Energy President, dmg events, said: “ADIPEC 2021 will enable

the global energy industry to gain key insights from, and share knowledge with the

policymakers, technologists, scientists and companies at the forefront of the hydrogen

industry and identify the new business models and strategies required to unlock, create and

maximise value from hydrogen’s potential as a future clean energy source.”

With governments across the globe implementing plans to decarbonise while ensuring

affordable energy for all, ADPIEC provides an ideal platform for the UAE to showcase its

commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and its roadmap for a sustainable energy

future, with green hydrogen production integral to its ambitions. This comes as the UAE is

positioning itself as a low-cost producer and exporter of blue and green hydrogen, as well as

green ammonia.

Work is already underway on megaprojects such as the two-gigawatt green ammonia project

by Taqa, the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company, and Abu Dhabi Ports. The project will

produce green hydrogen and process it into liquid ammonia, used in ships as bunker fuel

and for export.

Meanwhile, the Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (Kizad) has announced plans for a $1

billion green ammonia plant, which will produce 200,000 tonnes of green ammonia from

40,000 tonnes of green hydrogen.

 "According to a recent report by Forbes, industry commentators agree that a price around

two dollars per kilo of hydrogen could be pivotal. In addition, the UN Green Hydrogen

Catapult project, which includes Saudi Arabia's Acwa Power, have agreed to halve the

current cost of a kilo of green hydrogen to below $2 by 2026 and increase the scale of

production 50-fold," said Hudson.

"So besides major investment, some of the key issues to be discussed at ADIPEC is the

price of producing green hydrogen from renewable energy as well as how quickly new

technology can be developed," he added.

ADIPEC is the world's most influential live and in-person meeting place for energy

companies and professionals. The ADIPEC Strategic Conference brings together over 8,000

industry professionals from around the world,    including some 1,000 ministers, CEOs,

policymakers and influencers, to play an essential role in developing the thought leadership,

direction and strategies that will shape the industry's response to the realities of the energy

transition.
