Hydrogen demand is characterised by cautious growth, as high production costs, underdeveloped infrastructure, and market immaturity pose significant challenges to securing consistent offtake agreements and broader market adoption. Stimulating demand for low-carbon hydrogen remains a key challenge, particularly in sectors such as transportation, industry, and heating. Supportive policies and financial incentives to promote the adoption of hydrogen technologies will pave the way for market activation but will only take effect if public-private partnerships are established to develop hydrogen infrastructure. Collaboration amongst industry stakeholders is key to establish standardised offtake agreements and supply chain mechanisms that ensure reliable and affordable hydrogen supply.
Attendee insights:
Gain a better understanding of the mechanisms, policies and strategies to expedite uptake as well as what will be required to overcome commercial barriers, foster market growth, and ensure security of supply for end-users through robust offtake agreements.
Energy is directly linked to economic development. Greater energy access, affordability and reliability result in higher levels of GDP. Ultimately, there is no path to economic development without greater energy access and consumption. To ensure a just and equitable energy transition, governments, the private sector and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) must collaborate to create enabling, reliable infrastructure, inclusive market dynamics and practical, diversified energy supply for all. In the case of access to clean energy—which is playing a growing role in the global energy system—opportunities are opened to address socio-economic inequalities including jobs creation, access to education, improved health outcomes and more.
Attendee insights:
This Action Session will examine the role of governments, the private sector and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in creating the right solutions for a diversified energy supply for all, prioritising universal access to clean energy and empowering communities to participate in energy decision making processes.

The world is entering a new era of significant power demand growth, which is expected to double by 2040. This reflects both unmet needs, with 750 million people lacking access to reliable power, and the expanding role of electricity in modern economies. Combined with geopolitical tensions, energy security is back to the top of the agenda.
Despite concerns that this supercycle could slow down the energy transition, we already have today the technologies to meet load growth while progressively cleaning up the system. An ‘all-of-the-above’ approach is needed, leveraging dispatchable sources like gas, nuclear or hydro, accelerating renewables and modernising the grid.
Attendee insights:
In this Energy Talk, Maví Zingoni, CEO, Power at GE Vernova, will also discuss how this energy supercycle represents an opportunity to invest in transformative technologies like small modular reactors (SMRs), carbon capture, low-carbon fuels, and more.
The world’s population is projected to rise by as much as 1.7 billion by 2050, according to the IEA - but global energy demand is expected to rise even faster. In addition to population growth, greater wealth creation, increased consumer demand and urban expansion will all drive higher energy demand. Technology is positioned to help shape a sustainable future by advancing low-carbon solutions, improving energy efficiency and innovation across ecosystems.
In this Energy Talk, Lorenzo Simonelli, the CEO of Baker Hughes will address how technology can help drive sustainable energy development, delivering reliable, affordable and sustainable energy, and how Baker Hughes is investing in innovative solutions and technologies that can help make this possible.
Low-carbon ammonia is expected to play a key role in decarbonising industrial applications, such as power generation, maritime shipping, and the fertiliser industry, as well as serving as an efficient hydrogen carrier. Despite high production costs, when compared to conventional ammonia, its broad applications and significant decarbonisation potential could make it crucial for achieving net-zero emissions. To fully realise the potential of low carbon ammonia, incentivising policies, as well as investment, will be needed to accelerate production, reduce the green premium and deliver lower carbon industrial applications.
Attendee insights:
Learn how low-carbon ammonia is set to transform industrial applications, driving much-needed decarbonisation results.
According to the Energy Institute’s Statistical Review of World Energy, traditional fuels continue to meet more than 80% of the world's energy needs despite record growth in renewable energy. Building a resilient, diversified clean energy supply necessitates expanding production and sourcing capabilities across multiple countries and regions to minimise reliance on any single source. Economies built on production are seizing the chance to rethink their infrastructure, resources and skills. Their focus is shifting to create clean energy supply chains, driven by low-carbon solutions such as LNG and other new energy sources. This change brings huge advantages: stronger economies, new jobs, and fresh market opportunities.
Attendee insights:
This session will explore the crucial role of a diversified energy mix in the broader energy transition while ensuring a sustainable supply to meet the increasing energy demand.
Unpredictable policy incentives, a lack of credible transition data, and a shortage of commercially viable projects are restricting transition finance. These barriers are felt on a greater scale when combined with higher costs of capital and geopolitical and environmental factors. Despite this, financial institutions are expected to achieve consistent levels of growth while playing a key role in mobilising foreign direct investment into clean technology, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.
The Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA) is a crucial global initiative launched at COP28, focused on driving the transition to low-carbon heavy industries. With the potential for over $700 billion in investments into green industrial pipelines, the ITA targets six of the highest-emitting sectors: aluminium, cement, chemicals, steel, aviation, and shipping. Despite the announcement of over 450 large-scale projects aimed at producing green commodities by 2030, many are currently stalled due to a lack of demand for low-carbon products.
To overcome this barrier, the ITA has identified three critical requirements for scaling up demand: effective policies, clear product standards, and mechanisms to facilitate product offtake and green product purchases. Through collaboration with industry, investors, and key partners, the ITA aims to foster the commitments needed to secure financing and advance these projects by 2026.
Attendee insights:
James Schofield, Deputy Director of the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA), will discuss the ITA's pivotal role in leveraging global channels and expertise to overcome project barriers in the coming two years. With his extensive experience in driving industrial decarbonisation initiatives, James will provide insights into how the ITA aims to catalyse investments and foster collaboration across key sectors, ensuring that tangible solutions are deployed for a sustainable transition toward low-carbon heavy industries.
