KEYNOTE SPEAKER
MEXICO'S STRATEGIC POSITION IN THE INTERNATIONAL HYDROGEN CONTEXT

  • Mexico has a developed energy infrastructure and a high potential for renewable energy generation that could enable the development of green hydrogen, which represents a great economic and development opportunity. Global organisations agree that green hydrogen will play a key role in helping the world to achieve the commitment of zero net emissions by 2050 and limit global warming to 1.5º through its various applications in industry, energy and mobility

PRODUCTION OF LOW-EMISSION HYDROGEN FROM BIOGAS

  • The energy transition contemplates the need for each country and each geographical region to use the renewable resources available to them to produce clean energy. Mexico, and specifically its northeast region, is characterised by its availability and knowledge of biogas utilisation techniques, in view of which hydrogen production is presented as one more possibility to take advantage of this renewable resource

12:00 - 13:00
SYNERGIES BETWEEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF GREEN HYDROGEN PROJECTS

  • Green hydrogen, being an energy carrier and decarbonisation vector: it relies on the generation of multiple sources of primary energy generation and, in turn, is a molecule that can be harnessed in different economic sectors, such as mining, transport, energy and others. The development of hydrogen projects will bring growth and challenges for other sectors of the economy in countries that adopt hydrogen as a form of clean energy

13:00 - 13:30
GREEN HYDROGEN: OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDUSTRY

  • Green hydrogen can provide opportunities for decarbonisation and sustainable business positioning for those companies that adopt it as part of their processes: whether these companies are in the public or private sector, using this energy molecule in applications in transport, power generation and as a green feedstock for industry

Israel Hurtado, President, Mexican Association of Hydrogen and Sustainable Mobility

CAPITALIZING SOURCES OF FINANCING FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND HYDROGEN PROJECTS

  • To promote the advancement of green hydrogen economies, good public policy, as well as financing from public, private, multilateral and even governmental banks, is needed to reduce the risks in the development of early stage green hydrogen projects. In addition, comprehensive feasibility studies are needed to ensure the development of bankable projects with access to the necessary banking resources for the projects

WATER ELECTROLYZER PRODUCTION FOR TRULY ECONOMICAL AND SUSTAINABLE HYDROGEN PRODUCTION - Technical Approach

  • Electrolysers and fuel cells are key technologies for the development of the new hydrogen economy. On the one hand, electrolysers are the start of the value chain as the equipment that produces the green hydrogen molecule, and on the other, fuel cells offer a highly efficient way of harnessing hydrogen. The development of these two technologies is key for countries that adopt hydrogen in their energy matrix to break their technological dependence on industrialised countries
  • Review of the main trends in electrolyser innovation for green hydrogen production and focus on key components that can improve electrolyser efficiency and reduce costs

09:30 - 10:30
ELECTRIFICATION: TURBINE AND FUEL CELL POWER SUPPLY

  • Green hydrogen is presented as a synergistic technology with renewables: on the one hand, a significant deployment of renewables such as solar and wind will be needed for large-scale hydrogen production, and on the other hand, hydrogen has the potential to contribute to mitigating the intermittency of these renewables. Mitigating the intermittency of renewables is achieved by producing hydrogen from electricity, storing the hydrogen for when the renewable resource is absent, and re-electrifying the hydrogen through fuel cells or electric turbines

GREEN AMMONIA: AS A HYDROGEN OPPORTUNITY - Enfoque Negocios

  • Green hydrogen is an energy molecule that in itself has many uses as both an energy carrier and a feedstock, however, the uses of hydrogen can be multiplied when molecules derived from it are produced, such as ammonia, which is currently responsible for the consumption of 55% of the hydrogen produced globally. In the near future, the production of renewable ammonia will decarbonise this industry, as well as allow the use of this chemical as a hydrogen carrier for export or as an energy carrier for direct use in industries such as maritime navigation or energy storage
