Hydrogen Production and Fuel Cell

Chaired by: Prof. Abdul Ghani Olabi, Prof. Luca Montorsi & Prof. Vassilis Stathopoulos

As the global energy transition accelerates, hydrogen has emerged as a cornerstone of future clean energy systems, offering a versatile pathway for decarbonising power generation, transportation, and industrial processes. This symposium will provide a dedicated platform to explore the latest advances in hydrogen production technologies—including electrolysis, thermochemical and biological pathways—alongside breakthroughs in fuel cell materials, design, and system integration.

The sessions will examine innovations in high-efficiency electrolyzers, hydrogen purification, hydrogen carriers, and real-world deployment strategies for hydrogen-based systems. Special emphasis will be placed on fuel cell technologies such as PEM, SOFC, and alkaline fuel cells, with discussions covering materials development, durability, performance optimisation, and cost reduction. Cross-cutting themes will address hydrogen safety, infrastructure development, lifecycle assessment, and the integration of hydrogen with renewable and smart energy networks.
