Agenda

“ Following several economic changes globally and Russia’s war on Ukraine it has never been more paramount that Europe diversify its energy matrix and ensure of home-grown energy resources and developments to ensure of energy security. The EU are currently unable to control their energy prices and the need for a diverse source of homegrown energy is essential for decarbonisation and energy security. ”

Following several economic changes globally and Russia’s war on Ukraine it has never been more paramount that Europe diversify its energy matrix and ensure of home-grown energy resources and developments to ensure of energy security. The EU are currently unable to control their energy prices and the need for a diverse source of homegrown energy is essential for decarbonisation and energy security.

The 2nd Europe CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation Summit will assess and review the opportunities within the EU Energy Sector and review the different hydrogen road maps set out by the European Commission and different European Countries how green hydrogen can ensure off energy security for each while hitting decarbonising matrixes. The conference will also review how CCU & CCS can decarbonise the energy intensive sectors that are hard to decarbonise while creating a circular carbon economy.

The 2nd Europe CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation Summit will focus on the implementation of CCS, CCUS within industrial operations and how hydrogen can decarbonise industry and transport, the summit will bring together 300+ government officials, regulators, key industry stake holders, leading academia and service companies.

Sessions One and Two

Session 1. Europe Energy & Net Zero Strategy

With energy prices and security at the forefront of every country’s mind at the moment, this session will review the EU long term energy strategy and developments to ensure their 2030 and 2050 target commitments are still on track.

Schedule:

  • 9:25 Chairs Opening Address: Ross Compton, EAME Consultant, ENERGEO Alliance
  • 9:30 Per-Olof Granström, EU Director, Carbon Capture & storage Association
  • 9:50 Sara Piskor , Director - Strategy, Policy and Communications ENTSOG -European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas

  • 10:10 Caterina De Matteis, Senior Policy Manager, IOGP Europe,

    "CCUS & H2: Low-carbon technologies to net zero"

    To reach climate neutrality while retaining industrial competitiveness, the EU needs to accelerate the commercial scale deployment of solutions such as Carbon Capture, Use and Storage (CCUS) and low-carbon hydrogen.
    Caterina De Matteis, IOGP Europe, will explore the specific role of these technologies and share recommendations for an enabling EU policy framework.
  • 10:30 Wim Van der Stricht , CTO, ArcelorMittal

    "Steel - Reshaping the circular economy"

    In the steel industry, carbon is used primarily as a chemical reactant to reduce iron oxide to metallic iron. This is an important distinction from the typical industrial use of carbon as a fuel. While alternative energy sources such as wind and solar can replace fossil fuels, they cannot replace carbon in steelmaking. Additionally the production of high volumes of green hydrogen at affordable prices seems a huge challenge the coming decades. Thus, alternative technologies need to be developed and implemented on the short term to use carbon in a climate neutral, circular manner. We present the ArcelorMittal pathway to carbon neutrality and the various innovative technologies employed to reach this target.
  • 10:50 Q&A
  • 11:00 Coffee & Networking Break

Session 2. Energy Transition & Demand

It is now pivotal the EU needs to accelerate energy transition and review energy prices and demand. Within this session we will explore the demand for cleaner energy to ensure Europe is on track to hit its next set of net zero targets. We will discuss the different energy vectors that are available and where they are best placed to ensure of decarbonisation. We will also review the ongoing energy demand and review the different options available for energy transition.

Schedule:

  • 11:45 Mike Wailes, Commercial Manager- Emerging Energy, Phillips 66

    “Humber Refinery: The Refinery of the Future”

    The Phillips 66 Humber Refinery is one Europe’s most complex refineries and is actively transitioning towards a lower carbon future. In addition to the refinery being Europe’s only producer of graphite coke (a precursor material for electric vehicle and consumer electronic batteries), the refinery is the UK’s only producer of at-scale Sustainable Aviation Fuels and Development Fuels (the UK advanced biofuels classification). Phillips 66 is working with the UK government and industrial collaborators on a number of world-scale industrial decarbonisation projects. These include Humber Zero, one of the UK’s leading carbon capture projects and Gigastack, a 100MW electrolytic hydrogen project for refueling industrial heaters.
  • 12:05 Matthias Mersch, Research Assistant, Imperial College London

    " Robust and efficient decarbonisation pathways for diverse energy systems"

    The need to decarbonise energy systems is widely recognised; however, this transition must not compromise energy security and it needs to be affordable. The solution to this challenge is not uniform across different regions but must be adapted to the specific energy systems. Differences in, e.g., demand profiles, resource availability, potential for renewables, the incumbent technology portfolios, or political preferences lead to variations in optimal energy system transitions. Additionally, uncertainties in resource prices, as seen in the turbulent natural gas markets recently, present significant challenges to clean energy decision making. This presentation will explore optimal transitions for different energy systems and scenarios, the role of uncertain resource and technology costs, and the value that CCS can provide to decarbonise different energy systems.

Session 4. Investment Opportunities & Skilled Workforce

With RePowerEU, the creation of the European Hydrogen Bank and almost all members States committing to net-zero, via their hydrogen strategies, the H2 industry is now a reality; pushing simultaneously private investment, venture capital and banks towards the H2/CCS sector. Therefore, a strong and reliable supply chain will have to be built together with the re-skilling of the workforce. Furthermore, since major projects will now move forward faster than ever, we will review the challenges project leads will have to ensure that there will be skilled workforce and supply chain available.

Schedule:

  • 16:25 Marcela Betancur-Diaz, Energy Transition Development Manager, Opito

    "Roadmap to develop a flexible and mobile offshore energy workforce"

    The success of our future integrated energy industry and its four main sectors – which include hydrogen and CCUS – depends upon preparing and empowering the skilled, agile and adaptable workforce who’ll deliver a net zero future. The overall offshore energy workforce is set to grow significantly in the coming years with more than 211,000 jobs across the industry, so attracting and retaining people is vital.
    In response to the North Sea Transition Deal (NSTD), which highlighted the crucial steps required to manage a just transition, OPITO, on behalf of the UK oil and gas sector, developed the Integrated People and Skills Strategy (PSS). Supported by five action plans that translate high-level strategy into concrete time-bound actions, the PSS highlights the benefits of a just and managed energy transition for the workforce, the industry, governments and communities.

    2022 was a year full of turmoil in the energy world, especially for Europe, but it seems to have given the boost for hydrogen on the back of energy security needs. Overall announced projects gave an additional 22 million tonnes of clean hydrogen to the projection to 2050. Multiple market and business incentives has been announced to help advance these projects pass announcement stage, yet details are still not finalised. In order for Europe to meet their target, 2023 will be a crucial year and advancement in project pipeline needs to happen. As demand for hydrogen and its derivatives start to become clearer, we will look for these to continue maturing in 2023.
  • 10:30 Glen Burridge, Executive Director, European Federation of Geologists

    "NATURAL HYDROGEN: A Hidden Opportunity?"

    There is a geological resource that could form a powerful asset in the fight for a green energy transition. It’s low carbon, potentially abundant in certain locations, we know how to produce it and can be done for a fraction of the price of alternative sources. We still need to assess the size-of-the-prize, adjust legislation and appeal to the risk appetite of courageous investors, but this is one of those rare occasions where a whole new industry may lie on the horizon.

    It is Natural Hydrogen.

    In this talk, we will learn about how it is generated, who is looking for it and where in Europe, how much it will cost, what needs to be done to address its uncertainties, learnt to make it a reality and who is backing it.

Appropriate solutions are therefore indispensable to facilitate the development of hydrogen infrastructure. The presentation will look at the current status and developments, the challenges that still need to be faced and what the key topics are to be addressed in the upcoming months and years.
  • 14:45 Gergely Molnar, Gas Analyst, International Energy Agency (IEA)

    "Hydrogen infrastructure developments in Northwest Europe"

    The large-scale deployment of low-emission hydrogen will need to be underpinned by an effective and cost-efficient system for transmission and storage, strategically designed to connect supply
    sources to demand centres. Based on the current targets set by Northwest European countries, the region’s hydrogen network could increase by almost eight-fold to over 12 000 km by 2030. According to first estimates, close to two-thirds of the hydrogen pipelines operational by 2030 would be repurposed natural gas pipelines –providing a second life to the existing gas infrastructure.
    Similarly to well-designed pipeline network, underground storage will be crucial to reach the full potential of hydrogen as an energy carrier and respond to the flexibility requirements of a more complex energy system. While hydrogen storage in salt caverns is a proven technology, the experience in storing hydrogen in porous reservoirs such as depleted fields or aquifers is limited.

  • 15:05 Ainee Shah, Energy Consultant, EIC

    "Hydrogen liquefaction market overview"

    According to EICDataStream, there are over 150 green hydrogen projects with a combined electrolyser capacity of 3405GW in planning or under development in Europe, for start-up by 2030. Much of hydrogen produced will be used to decarbonise transport, industry and heating in the region. However, where hydrogen or renewable capacity is still emerging or not planned for, transport of hydrogen from producing markets will be key. Europe’s liquefaction market is nascent but will be required as an increasing number of countries express hydrogen ambitions and renewable capacity grows over the next decade. This presentation will use data collated from the EIC’s proprietary database, EICDataStream, to show trends in Europe’s hydrogen liquefaction sector as well as highlighting key markets of interest as found by EIC Consult.
