The hydrogen industry faces numerous challenges. On the one hand, some regulatory requirements are hindering the realisation of hydrogen projects. These include a lack of technological openness in hydrogen production, overly complex rules for defining climate-friendly hydrogen, and delayed government investment and subsidies.
On the other hand, companies need to improve the economic efficiency of hydrogen as an energy source. Matthias Rudloff, a participant in one of the panel discussions, shares this view based on his experience in his day-to-day work at AMBARtec. However, he also recognises the opportunities arising from technological developments in the use of hydrogen for energy storage. "Numerous discussions and comments have confirmed that hydrogen still has great potential to make our future energy supply both sustainable and secure. However, it is imperative to encourage companies to plan for security and drive innovation forward," he concluded.
Matthias Rudloff was also in high demand as a discussion partner outside of the conference programme, particularly among steel industry representatives. After all, the AMBARtec process enables blast furnace or coke oven gas from steelworks to be converted into clean hydrogen by capturing CO₂.
Regardless of the hydrogen source, the AMBARtec process enables hydrogen to be stored and transported without changing the infrastructure and at competitive costs. AMBARtec has also launched an initiative to provide the economy with cost-effective hydrogen produced in various industrial processes that cannot currently be used.
