Session Overview

Monday, 3 November

17:30

Hydrogen Conference Room A 17:30 - 18:00

Repurposing infrastructure for cost-effective and efficient hydrogen integration

To avoid increased costs and complexity, hydrogen production often hinges on repurposing and refurbishing existing infrastructure, including pipelines, ammonia carriers and shipping vessels. Legacy assets can – and should – be repurposed as near-term catalysts for a global hydrogen network, improving efficiency and advancing decarbonisation by integrating the fuel into existing power grids and transportation systems. Activities related to geographies such as Europe’s industrial corridors and the U.S. Gulf Coast demonstrate the benefits of pipeline upgrades, ammonia cracking facilities and new electrolyser installations, underscoring the potential of infrastructure innovation to lower costs, reduce risk and expedite commercial scale-up – crucial milestones on our journey to a resilient, low-carbon, high-growth future.
