Dear Industry Collogues
It is our greatest pleasure and honor to chair the 1st Kuwait Int’l Hydrogen Technology Symposium, themed “The Kuwait Hydrogen Outlook from Vision to Action” 5-6 March 2024, at Hilton Resort Hotel, Kuwait City.
Now more than ever the World calls for energy evolution, affordability, and security, where Hydrogen could play a pivotal role in the transition towards a low-carbon economy and sustainable future. In response to the demand for cleaner energy, Kuwait possesses all vital resources for the production of both “blue” and “green” hydrogen. Reaching a Net-zero economy will require the development of commercial-scaled hydrogen infrastructure that can facilitate both production and distribution, a prerequisite, which the country already works on. Putting Kuwait on the map of the world’s leading Hydrogen players demands a wide range of tools strategic, financial, and policy ones, along with adopting state-of-the-art production technologies.
Time and time again, our country leaders have strongly reconfirmed their long-term commitment to achieving carbon neutrality in the oil and gas sector by 2050, and in other sectors by 2060.
Held over two days, the symposium raises awareness and calls for action. It provides a platform to discuss the latest technological advancements, investment opportunities, and policy frameworks necessary for scaling up hydrogen infrastructure locally, regionally, and globally.
The time for action is now. Please come and join us on this exciting journey.
