World Hydrogen Leaders #WHNA23 #WHL

Join us in Houston for World
Hydrogen North America 2023

With the final application for hydrogen hubs due to be complete in April, along with
the promising government incentives in both the USA and Canada, North America has
huge potential to become a global leader in hydrogen. Hydrogen development is set to
explode across the region with new projects being announced continuously.

As attention turns to North America, World Hydrogen Leaders are excited to be

returning to Houston from May 15-17 2023 to host our World Hydrogen North America
conference, bringing together over 500 hydrogen professionals across the USA, Canada
and the rest of the world to discuss the strategic and technological opportunities for
hydrogen in the region and beyond.

Join us in Houston to discover solutions, identify opportunities and debate how to

capitalize on this evolving market:

• Discover how to capitalize on the IRA, IIJA, Canada’s investment tax credit and other
government and state level incentives/programs
• Debate clean hydrogen technologies to identify the most appropriate for your project
and find out the latest innovations
• Listen to case-study presentations from technology providers, solution providers and
project developers
• Deliberate best practice to secure off-takers and grow domestic and international
demand for clean hydrogen
• Explore best practice for production, storage, distribution and much more

POLICY & FINANCE MASTERCLASSES
Unpacking the IRA and Identifying How to Capitalize on Incentives
As more government incentives are announced the landscape is becoming increasingly more
complicated to navigate. With a lack of regulations and standards still surrounding hydrogen
there are still a lot of unknowns. This session aims to untangle the IRA and explore how
projects can apply for tax credits? How will carbon intensity be measured? How will regulation
and standardization adapt? And much more!
How to Prepare for Hydrogen (and derivatives) Certification
This masterclass will help project developers understand certification and how best to
prepare for it. What certifications are out there and how to choose one? How to make sure
projects are eligible? How to prepare for certification?
Ana Angel, Director, HINICIO
Wouter Vanhoudt, Global Head of Business Development, HINICIO
Lunch Break
Financing Projects for Long-term Agreements
An in-depth look into how hydrogen projects are financed from the start, what the options for
projects and what do investors / banks / financial institutes require to invest. Which companies
are actively looking to invest in start-up projects. Discussing the risks involved and how best
to mitigate these to ensure your project is successful.
TECHNOLOGY MASTERCLASSES
Low Carbon Hydrogen Production Technology
Join this session to discover the CCS/CCUS technology landscape, as hydrogen projects are
evolving so to is the technology. Discover best practice for implementing these technologies
today to reduce emissions, discover how to measure carbon intensity, explore real-life
challenges that projects are experiencing already and source solutions to your unanswered
questions.
Low-Temperature Water Electrolysers – Advantages, Bottlenecks, and Outlook
Water electrolysers and especially Low-Temperature Water Electrolyzer (LT-WE) technologies
strongly depend upon (i) materials used, i.e., catalysts, electrolytes, separators, electrodes,
porous transport layers/gas diffusion layers, etc., and (ii) working temperatures and pressures.
For all LT-WE, further R&D in materials and systems is required to drastically improve
efficiency, performance, and durability, as well as reducing costs.
This masterclass highlights the state-of-the-art, benefits, bottlenecks (e.g., critical raw
materials, membranes, degradation, costs, etc.), strategies for cost reduction (materials, stack,
and system levels), potential routes for overcoming the major issues, and key performance
indicators (KPIs) and technology targets for all LT-WE technologies.
Bruno Pollet, President of Green Hydrogen, Division International Association for Hydrogen
Energy, Director, UQTR Institute for Hydrogen Research
Lunch Break
Evaluating key early-stage tradeoffs in production of green hydrogen
and derivatives
There are key tradeoffs and assessments that can greatly affect the feasibility and economic
performance of a green hydrogen or hydrogen derivatives production projects. As part of this
class some of the most relevant tradeoffs and approaches to consider the tradeoffs in the
development process will be covered. The class specifically will cover:
1. Approach to site selection of project based on multidisciplinary technical, commercial,
environmental and market criteria.
2. Key tradeoffs in electricity supply including when to connect to the grid and when to look
for supply off-grid.
3. Specific studies and benchmarks from various hydrogen and green powerfuel markets.
