Leadership Roundtable: Scaling Hydrogen: Managing Risk, Innovations, and Pathways to Cost Optimization

25 Jun 2025
Strategic Forum

This panel will explore critical considerations for scaling hydrogen projects in today’s dynamic energy landscape, focusing on managing technology risks, controlling costs, and avoiding delays in achieving FID. It will analyze the IRA and its impact on project economics across the supply chain while debating the feasibility of the industry’s ambitious $1/kg hydrogen target.

Panelists will address the complexities and risks of using hydrogen to produce derivatives like ammonia, e-methanol, and SAF, weighing the costs of additional conversion and transportation processes against potential market opportunities. The session will highlight key examples of successful U.S. hydrogen projects, offering proven strategies and valuable lessons learned.

Additionally, the panel will provide perspectives on the progression of U.S. hydrogen hub projects, the financial trade-offs between 45V and 45Q tax credits, and broader policy impacts, offering actionable strategies to navigate this high-risk, high-reward sector.

Attendees will hear insights from a diverse mix of panelists, including project developers in H2 hubs, integrated oil & gas companies, nuclear-focused organizations, EPCs, and marine industry leaders.
