In this session, you will be introduced to innovative international green hydrogen initiatives. Following the project pitches, participants are invited to join break-away sessions to exchange in more detail on the projects most relevant and interesting to them.

 

The webinar will conclude with a plenary discussion, including an opportunity to highlight interest in replicating selected business cases. This will allow insights and priorities to be shared across the group. Expressions of interest in specific concepts will also help inform future H2Uppp activities and potential deep dives in 2026.Topics and reflections may include:

 

  • Which international green hydrogen projects could be replicated in the South African or Namibian context?
  • What are the practical opportunities and challenges for implementation?
  • Which stakeholders and infrastructures are needed to support these projects?
  • How can these business cases inform your strategy and business decisions?

 

We would be delighted by your presence and greatly value your input and insights.
