Foreword
Growing twofold in 2023, World Hydrogen North America has become the leading hydrogen event for the region. On behalf of World
Hydrogen Leaders, I would like to say a special thank you to all our speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees for making this year such
an exciting and fruitful congress. It was incredible to see the strides the hydrogen industry has taken over the past year as 800 senior leaders
across the entire hydrogen value chain gathered in Houston.
The Intelligence Day provided a chance to deep dive into specific topics through extended interactive masterclasses. This was followed by
a powerful speech from General Wesley Clark at the welcome drinks. The two main days of the conference and exhibition offered the industry
an opportunity to participate in lively debates, hear case study presentations and meet new business partners during dedicated networking
sessions. The Women+ in Hydrogen Networking Breakfast took place on the final day, bringing together 70+ champions for women to
participate in an insightful morning discussion.
There is no doubt that the North American market is the one to watch with promising potential in both Canada and USA. We will be following
the market closely as regulations develop, more projects get closer to FID and the offtake markets start to evolve. We look forward to seeing
you back in Houston (if not before!) from May 21-23 2024.

World Hydrogen North America 2023 in the press
At World Hydrogen North America 2023 in Houston, Texas, former Alberta, Canada mayor and current chair of the
Edmonton Region Hydrogen Hub, Alanna Hnatiw, delivered a presentation about Alberta’s potential as a hydrogen
(H2) hub. According to Hnatiw, Canada has an established pipeline network, leveraging the liquified natural gas (LNG)
industry, which positions them as an exporter. She also claimed that Canada is recognized as a global leader in the H2
fuel cell sector and as a hub for technical expertise.

World Hydrogen Leaders are excited to return to Houston for World Hydrogen North America 2024. As momentum continues to grow in the
region so does our program expanding to six streams for even more focused content. North America is seeing the largest increase in planned
hydrogen projects globally and this number is only expected to grow as the industry progresses and demand increases.
