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.
