REHIP Conference - Challenges and Choices for the Hydrogen Economy

The Challenges and Choices for the Hydrogen Economy, part of the REHIP project, is taking place on Wednesday 18 March 2026 at Teesside University's Curve Building.

Led by Teesside and Durham Universities in partnership with Energy Voice and E-FWD, this year’s event will focus on the wider national perspective on hydrogen as a key energy solution.

The event will open with an update on the project’s activities and achievements, some information about our partners E-FWD and Energy Voice along with the main highlights from last year’s conference. Guest speakers will be able to share their insights into the hydrogen market, setting the scene for some panel discussions when the audience will have the opportunity to participate.

There will be networking opportunities and industrial research poster presentations during break and lunchtime sessions.

The topics to be covered will be around the following themes:

Just Transition & Skills
End Users & Hydrogen vs Electrification
Transportation, Distribution & Storage
Hydrogen Production & Supply Chain
People with industrial experience will share their experiences in the above themes through panel discussions and presentations.

This will be an interactive conference with the opportunity to engage with the speakers and panellists.

The event promises to be an interesting insight into the national approach to hydrogen.
