Keynotes included contributions by <strong>Beno\u00eet Potier<\/strong>, Co-Chair of Hydrogen Council, Chairman and CEO, Air Liquide, <strong>Sue Reid<\/strong>, VP Climate &amp; Energy, Ceres, and <strong>Patrick Pouyann\u00e9<\/strong>, Chairman and CEO of Total. Other notable industry executives and Council CEOs actively participated in the discussion. See\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hydrogencouncil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/170914-Hydrogen-Council-Investor-Day-Final-Agenda-12AM-ET.pdf\">agenda<\/a> for full speaking list.<\/p><p>Panels covered how hydrogen empowers the <strong>energy transition<\/strong>; why these technologies are now considered <strong>market-ready<\/strong>; discussed existing <strong>business cases<\/strong> and <strong>investment opportunities<\/strong>, as well as the strategies and tools required for<strong> scale deployment<\/strong>. The event was expertly moderated by <strong>Roberto Bocca<\/strong>, Head of Energy and Basic Industries and a member of the Executive Committee at the World Economic Forum Geneva.<\/p><p>Find an album of photos from the event <a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/s\/aHskoSPzPf\">here<\/a><\/p><p><strong><u>Key conclusions from the event:<\/u><\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Major technology progress has been achieved in the last 10 years with <strong>costs reduced by a factor of 20 <\/strong>over the period.<\/li><li>Commercial products are now being marketed across sectors and along the <strong>full hydrogen value chain<\/strong>, including hydrogen production (e.g. electrolyzers), hydrogen stations, forklifts, cars, buses, trains, heating &amp; power systems etc.<\/li><li>Manufacturing capacities across the world are growing, which will yield <strong>additional cost decrease in coming years<\/strong>. New plants have been announced in the US, Canada, Germany, Japan, Korea, China etc.<\/li><li>These developments are driven by a <strong>dense ecosystem <\/strong>of large OEM\u2019s, specialized SME\u2019s and innovative start-ups.<\/li><li>Some markets are <strong>already fully activated<\/strong>, leveraging cost-competitive products such as material handling, captive fleets of vehicles (taxis, buses\u2026) etc.<\/li><li>Exponential growth is underway in all addressed markets, <strong>supported by clear political backing<\/strong>.<\/li><li>There are no technical bottlenecks to reach scale, but there is a need to <strong>anticipate investments. <\/strong>This includes ramping up the total number of hydrogen stations worldwide from 300 to 3,000 in the next 5-7 years. Investments will multiply by 10 over the period.<\/li><li>Investments are required along full value chain, from product development, manufacturing lines to hydrogen infrastructure <strong>Investors are encouraged to get in early<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong><u>Next steps<\/u><\/strong><\/p><p>Watch this space for more information about the Council\u2019s upcoming event at COP23 in Bonn later this year, the second Annual CEO Meeting the Hydrogen Council will hold, bringing together top level representatives of its members to connect, update on progress and reassert their ongoing commitment\u00a0to hydrogen as one of the key components of the energy transition.<\/p><p><a title=\"Investor Day: Hydrogen - Ready to scale\"
