0905-0955 Panel 1: MENA’s hydrogen potential; why MENA stands to win the green hydrogen race

The MENA region enjoys some of the world’s best solar and wind resources, which is crucial to producing green hydrogen. The production of green hydrogen in MENA will support local industrial and socioeconomic development, including job creation. This is an opportunity for MENA to undergo historic chance in its role and position as a potentially dominant player in the emerging hydrogen economy. The NEOM project is a global flagship venture, but is not the only opportunity for hydrogen development in the region.

Many regions around the world are exploring the development of a hydrogen economy, and there are a number of lessons to be learned from experiences in other territories. From APAC, Japan and Australia have a number of blue and green hydrogen projects, and when we look to Europe, we can see the EU’s Green Deal driving the acceleration of hydrogen in the energy transition as one of the routes to achieving the nation’s net-zero targets.

There will also be presentations and discussions with NOC representatives on the upstream and downstream opportunities, and an opportunity to engage with the speakers and participants throughout the event.

Alternative fuels—any fuel that is not derived from conventional fossil fuels—will play a key role in the energy transition as more and more countries commit to decarbonisation and net-zero targets. Transition Economist, in association with professional services firm PwC, is pleased to present an exclusive roundtable exploring the role of alternative fuels and the pathways to commercial viability.

A significant investment in alternative fuels is needed to achieve the goals set out in the Paris Agreement, and this topic will undoubtedly play a part in discussions at this year’s Cop26 meeting in November.

Join our select panel for an in-depth discussion on topics including:
• What are the realistic alternative fuel options, and where can they best be applied?
• What fuel mixes and technologies will be most cost-effective for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement?
• Financing the transition - key finance providers and how to scale the technologies needed
• International collaboration is key. What support is needed to achieve a cost-competitive hydrogen value chain?

This discussion is moderated by Will Jackson-Moore, Global Private Equity, Real Assets and Sovereign Funds Leader, PwC.

Panellists: Juergen Peterseim, Senior Manager, PwC
Helena Anderson, Co-Founder and COO, Ikigai Capital
Shiva Dustdar, Head of Division, Innovation Finance Advisory, European Investment Bank
