Matteo Benincasa presents at World Hydrogen MENA '23

On Wednesday 1st March @ 14:30-15:10, our MENA Regional Sales Director, Matteo Benincasa, will be presenting: CCUS & Global Exports Markets: CCS & the Circular Carbon Economy

The following points will be discussed:

·         Considering the huge gap between the potential scale up the blue hydrogen market and the technological progress with carbon capture

·         Assessing the focus of CCS and CCU within the decarbonisation strategies of certain countries (such as Saudi Arabia) with a focus on circular carbon economy (CCE)

·         Exploring the role of carbon capture storage and exporting blue ammonia to Europe, and the regulatory challenges that exist within this

·         Tackling the potential challenges and barriers around exporting blue hydrogen to Europe – with current EU import policies primarily focused towards green

·         Looking ahead to the role other non-green technologies, such as pyrolysis, will have on the sector with existing, lucrative markets for solid carbon already in place

About the event:

With its abundant supply of wind and solar energy, along with a rich heritage of experience in the Oil & Gas sector, the MENA region is poised to position itself as one of the most important exporters of clean hydrogen.

Among the key issues to be addressed for the region to truly fulfil its potential are the scaling-up of clean hydrogen production, the investment and development of local supply chains and workforce, infrastructure and transportation, and the regulatory and political implications necessary for this global collaboration to succeed.

World Hydrogen MENA conference will bring the entire international hydrogen value chain together to discuss the strategic and technological opportunities for hydrogen in the region and beyond.
