How can hydrogen and its derivatives (ammonia, methanol, synthetic fuels) be integrated into European industrial value chains, and what does it take for the underlying projects to reach a final investment decision? This session brings together voices from energy-intensive industry, EPC and the investor side to discuss three pillars: the innovation that makes industrial hydrogen applications work, the resilience the technologies bring to Europe's energy and supply security, and the economic viability that determines whether projects actually get built. The session opens with a statement by Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe, followed by a panel discussion.
