Global Hydrogen Mid-Year Outlook

The Global Hydrogen Mid-Year Outlook is an insightful online webinar that addresses pressing issues surrounding energy security, diversification, and resilience in light of ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. The disruption of global energy flows has prompted hydrogen advocates across Europe, Northeast Asia, and other regions to emphasize the potential of domestic energy production through hydrogen. This event provides a platform for industry experts to discuss the advancements and challenges faced by the hydrogen sector, which, despite experiencing steady investment growth, continues to seek a firm foothold in the market.During the webinar, key developments from the first half of 2026 will be reviewed, along with expectations for the remainder of the year and beyond. Participants will gain clarity on the transposition of renewable hydrogen targets from the EU's revised renewable energy directive (RED III) into national laws, which is sending clearer demand signals. The discussion will explore EU policy plans, including revisions to the RFNBO definition and key targets, as well as the competitive landscape for renewable ammonia, particularly as India and China make strides in their ambitions that position them competitively against blue hydrogen supplies from gas-rich nations. Notable speakers include Stefan, the editor of Argus Hydrogen and Future Fuels, who brings a wealth of knowledge from his experience in European natural gas markets and an academic background in Maastricht, Leeds, and London. Tim, who heads the commercial side of Argus Hydrogen and Future Fuels Service, adds to the discussion with his extensive experience in hard commodities and financial benchmarks. Lastly, Joyce contributes her 20 years of expertise in research, consulting, and business development within the natural resources sectors, including hydrogen, power, and renewables. This webinar is poised to be a valuable resource for those interested in the evolving hydrogen landscape and its implications for energy resilience and sustainability.
