Hydrogen has the potential to transform how we power our world, but realising its full promise depends on the policies and regulations that support innovation and enable offtake. Join us at the World Hydrogen Policy & Regulation virtual event to deep dive into hydrogen regulatory frameworks from across the US and Europe.
As hydrogen production and adoption continues to grow, critical questions around regulations, incentives, certification, subsidies, and more must be addressed. Hear directly from industry experts and project developers who are leading the transition to hydrogen.
