On the morning of June 15th, join us for the H2-Offtakers Workshop at H2LAC.
Organized in collaboration with McKinsey & Co., the objective of the workshop is to explore how to mainstream the use and deployment of green hydrogen among Latin America’s industrial companies.
Designed expressly for senior corporate executives, the workshop will seek to identify use cases and enabling conditions for the procurement of green H2 across multiple industries in LAC.
The workshop will utilize case-studies, presentations, and interactive discussions to ascertain:
- How first movers are approaching the creation of an H2 ecosystem, including partner selection and negotiation
- Essential elements of successful partnerships between offtakers, producers and other market participants
- The challenges involved in setting up the ecosystems and developing the projects, along with ways to overcome those challenges.
