Wednesday, April 26, 2023 \u2013 Pre-CREF<\/h4>\n

The 1st annual Hydrogen Summit for the Caribbean (H2-Caribbean 2023) is designed to bring the upstream and downstream market together to explore the viability and potential of Hydrogen to bolster and transform regional economies.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re seeing nascent signs of H2 across the Caribbean, including projects in Trinidad & Tobago and Barbados. But, hype aside, does Hydrogen have the potential to be a regional game-changer? What are the Caribbean\u2019s competitive advantages? How will we produce H2 and at what cost? Is there a regional market for Caribbean H2 and what infrastructure do we need to store and distribute it? What is the price tag and who will pick it up?<\/p>\n

Ultimately: can we build a decarbonizing, economy-lifting, competitiveness-driving industry for the region?<\/p>\n

Participants will include Caribbean policy-makers, utility CEOs, development banks, and leading H2 industry experts and investors.<\/p>\n

Agenda<\/h6>\n

H2-Caribbean is conceived as a vital conversation between regional stakeholders and hydrogen industry leaders to explore the viability of a hydrogen economy in the Caribbean. Adopting a roundtable format, and with discussion leaders introducing each element of the Summit, all participants will be invited to provide their perspective. <\/em><\/p>\n

You are invited to join us and contribute to a critical discussion which will shape the national and regional approach to the production and use of hydrogen in the Caribbean.<\/em><\/p>\n
