Hydrogen for Development (H4D) 5th Stakeholders Forum | Panels at the World Hydrogen Summit 2026 | Wednesday, May 20, 2026 | 12:45 – 2:15 PM CEST | In-person (Open Event), Room Port 1C, AHOY Rotterdam
Join us at the Fifth Hydrogen for Development (H4D) Stakeholders Forum during the World Hydrogen Summit for a high-level discussion on financing and deploying electrolyzers in developing countries.
Panel 1
This session will explore policy frameworks and industrialization strategies shaping electrolyzer manufacturing and localization efforts, while providing insights into global market and manufacturing trends across key regions. Panelists will also examine opportunities for international collaboration to accelerate industry scale-up, strengthen knowledge transfer, and support market development in emerging economies. The discussion will bring together public and private sector high-level leaders to exchange perspectives on enabling a competitive and resilient global electrolyzer ecosystem.
Panel 2
This Panel 2 session will assess the technical strengths and comparative advantages of different electrolyzer technologies, while drawing on real-world deployment experiences across emerging markets. Panelists will also examine key considerations for project financing, including cost structures, risk allocation, and bankability requirements needed to scale investment. The discussion aims to identify practical pathways to accelerate electrolyzer deployment and support the development of sustainable hydrogen markets in EMDCs.
