TechThursday #4 – Energy Carriers: The Bridge Between Supply and Demand

22 – 22 May08:00 – 09:00
SIGN UP NOW

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.

Theme: How do energy carriers connect production and consumption in future energy systems, and what is the current status of technologies and value chains for hydrogen, ammonia, e-fuels, and batteries?
