This session gets into the practical realities of making hydrogen projects work economically. Understanding why Europe's cost gap between production costs and buyer willingness-to-pay slows investment, how battery storage and smart energy management cut operating costs at production sites, how to choose the right power supply route for a specific location and use case - illustrated with a real airport project - and how monitoring expertise from solar keeps electrolysers running reliably at scale.
