As the global energy sector accelerates toward decarbonization, hydrogen is emerging as a critical enabler of the low-carbon economy. This Masterclass explores the evolving landscape of hydrogen production, comparing natural sources-such as geologic hydrogen-with artificial methods including electrolysis and reforming with carbon capture. Through a series of real-world case studies, participants will gain insight into the technical, economic, and environmental performance of each pathway.
Key topics include the scalability of natural hydrogen extraction, the role of renewables in green hydrogen production, and innovations driving down the cost of clean hydrogen. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of where these technologies are being successfully deployed today-and what lessons they offer for future hydrogen strategies in the upstream and broader energy sectors.
The Masterclass will conclude with an interactive Q&A and open discussion, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with the presenters and fellow attendees. This is a chance to explore practical challenges, exchange perspectives, and deepen understanding of hydrogen's evolving role in the energy transition.
