TechThursday #4 – Energy Carriers: The Bridge Between Supply and Demand
Hydrogen, ammonia, e-fuels and batteries are emerging as key enablers in future energy systems – serving as links between generation and end-use, and offering significant export potential.
In TechThursday #4, we aim to explore the technology landscape, market outlook, and development challenges of energy carriers. We are planning contributions from actors such as H2Carrier, SOREN Hydrogen, CELLTECH, ABB, Honeywell and others – to provide insight into how Norwegian companies can lead the way in technology development and system integration.
The event will conclude with a panel discussion on how to align production, infrastructure, financing and regulation – to realize competitive value chains for energy carriers across Norway and Europe.
