Event Details
Green hydrogen is currently enjoying unprecedented political and commercial momentum, with the number of policies and projects around the world expanding rapidly over the last 12 months. With hydrogen now a central part of many nations’ decarbonisation plans, there remains an elephant in the room; how do we produce clean green hydrogen at the volumes needed to support this burgeoning hydrogen ecosystem, at comparable prices to grey or blue Hydrogen?
The fifth annual Green Hydrogen Summit will return to Lisbon as Portugal’s premier green hydrogen event to inspire and educate delegates on how to take advantage of the opportunities green hydrogen will offer financially and environmentally and provide the connections to make it possible. Our unique audience includes offtakers, energy suppliers, project developers, debt providers and investors, utilities, gas TSOs and government officials.
In 2024 we will move beyond an introduction to the concepts of green hydrogen and will look at the larger challenges on the horizon for the sector, including securing energy supply for Hydrogen production with limited sources of renewable energy and limited grid capacity.

Following last year’s great response to the Biogas PowerON with over 130 participants from 22+ countries, we’re announcing the 6th European Conference Biogas PowerON 2024 with great excitement. The conference will take place on 25-26 September 2024 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The 2024 edition focuses on excellent speakers with highly sought presentations, interesting industry panel discussion, technical insights and many hours of networking.
In 2024, biogas continues to gain popularity amid the energy crisis and Europe’s focus on energy independence and security. The coming years mark a crucial turning point for the robust development and scaling up biogas production.
The green transformation ahead promises to enhance economic growth, security, and climate action for Europe and its partners. Initiatives like The Biomethane Industrial Partnership (BIP), launched on 28 September 2022, aim to support the EU’s target of achieving 35 bcm annual sustainable biomethane production by 2023, laying the groundwork for a sustained ramp-up of biogas potential towards 2050.
Biogas stands out as a cost-efficient solution to reduce imports of natural gas from Russia, requiring an estimated EUR 37 billion investment over the period.
