WORKSHOP
“Advanced Electrolysis Technologies for Green Hydrogen”
We bring together leading academic scientists and researchers!
September 17th, 2026 1pm - 5pm
Scope of the event
Water electrolysis is the cornerstone technology for green hydrogen production, converting renewable electricity into a zero-carbon energy carrier. This sub-workshop explores both commercially mature and emerging electrolysis technologies, including Alkaline, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM), Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM), and Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOEC).
Key topics include efficiency, durability, materials innovation, and scalability for industrial deployment. Presentations will examine recent scientific breakthroughs, unresolved challenges, and pathways to gigawatt-scale manufacturing. Industry speakers will provide practical insights on production scale-up, supply-chain management, and commercial strategies, including cost reduction and market adoption.
The workshop is intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of electrolysis technology readiness, sectoral applicability, and integration into renewable energy systems, equipping participants with knowledge to guide R&D investment and industrial deployment.
Extended Key Takeaways & Outputs
- Comparative analysis of Alkaline, PEM, AEM, and SOEC technologies
- Identification of bottlenecks in materials, durability, and scalability
