The FINANCIAL DIALOGUE HYDROGEN

Launched at the HYDROGEN DIALOGUE 2022 held in Nuremberg, Germany, the event aims to promote green hydrogen as a key element of the energy transition. Functioning business models are to be developed from hydrogen technologies.

Green hydrogen, produced solely with energy from renewable sources, is a key element in the fight against climate change. It can be used as a basic material for a wide range of industrial processes and is also suitable for powering heavy-duty transport such as trucks, ships or trains. In recent years, a lot has happened in hydrogen technologies; numerous products and systems have been developed that are already being used or are about to be launched on the market. It is now crucial to determine how this can be combined with renewable energies and battery storage to create economically promising business models.

At the VDE FINANCIAL DIALOGUE HYDROGEN, experts provide information on the state of the art in the hydrogen industry, among other topics. Entrepreneurs and investors share their experiences with business model and representatives of the insurance and finance industries will provide insight into the criteria that are important to them when insuring or financing hydrogen projects.
