“ The energy sector has changed dramatically since the coronavirus; and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 fuelled an energy crisis and stoked concerns over future energy security. The UK Government responded with the Ten Point Plan, which sets out they will take to build back better, support green jobs, and accelerate our path to net zero. Following this, in March 2023 the UK Government have announced £20 billion funding over the next 20 years for CCUS projects in the UK as well as the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund (NZHF) and the Hydrogen Business Model (HBM) will provide £240 million in grant funding to be used towards the upfront costs of development and capital expenditures. This was dually needed given the USA’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) announcement and the European Commission’s Green Deal Industrial Plan announcement. The UK government understood the need to attract investment into the UK rather than overseas to ensure their climate change targets are achieved, and to provide energy security. ”

The 5th UK CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation Summit will be a 3-day conference and will assess and review the opportunities within the UK Energy Sector and consider how hydrogen can help the UK develop its own green energy source. It will also consider how carbon capture storage & utilisation can decarbonise the energy intensive sectors while producing a carbon circular economy. Also, how we can now connect the end users with the producers within the downstream sector to ensure the 2030 targets are met.

The 5th UK CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation Summit will focus on the projects and innovation around CCS, CCU within industrial operations and how hydrogen can decarbonise industry and transport. The summit will bring together 750 + government officials, regulators, key industry stake holders, leading academia, and service companies.

With energy security and decarbonisation being a top priority for UK government, within this session we will assess what strategies are needed to accelerate our decarbonisation pathway and what challenges need to be addressed. You will hear from UK government officials around funding and policy developments. We will be addressing the need ramp up the training of STEM to ensure the skilled workforce will be available given competition from other countries. Industry experts will also be highlighting the different challenges to take into consideration but also the great opportunity the UK has, to be a world leader in decarbonisation.

A New Integrated Concept for CCUS and Green Hydrogen

There is a need to create immediate value for CCS outside of Carbon Credits, but new technologies have a high activation barrier to deployment and integration with current industry. An alternative solution is to combine multiple new technologies within one location creating a symbiotic relationship that ensures profitability and sustainability. This approach is highlighted by two planned regional developments that include, green hydrogen, chemical production, and waste consumption clustered around a unique CCS approach that ensures value added product generation instead of relying on Carbon Credits. Each technology is already TRL >7, but it is in their combination that value added is created.

Presentation Title:
Forecasting the North Sea CCUS Infrastructure to 2050

Summary:
As CCUS scales up, how will the infrastructure in the North Sea be repurposed and developed to provide storage capacity?
Europe and the North Sea have vast geological storage potential, well above any potential CCUS need. However, it is challenging to assess the relative cost efficiency of projects or frame in what market conditions or time horizon a project would become viable. Together with Xodus, we have developed a tool to do so. Through a bottom-up analysis, we assessed 560 potential storage sites, North Sea gas pipelines and potential new pipelines to identify cost efficient storage. This tool can support and facilitate investment decisions of North Sea operators

Pinsent Masons Roundtable: What lessons should the UK learn from the development of the low-carbon hydrogen market to-date

Description: We will consider how the low-carbon hydrogen market should develop in the coming years, in the context of lessons learnt so far from Track-1 blue hydrogen projects and Allocation Round 1 green hydrogen projects. In light of the recent UK hydrogen policy announcements in December, we’ll consider what has worked well, what hasn’t and the sector’s needs for the future to be able to realise its full potential.

Turley Roundtable: Consenting, Communication, Community – Exploring learnings around consenting routes and the significance of strategic communications and Social Value for the successful delivery of hydrogen and CCS projects.

Description: The core ambition of this conference is to drive change and achieve net zero ambitions and we’re seeing real progress for hydrogen and CCUS projects across the UK. We will explore our learnings and share experience on how to effectively navigate planning/consenting in the future. With so many clusters, partners and collaborators looking to decarbonise, we will consider the importance of strategic communications and education with communities to demystify hydrogen and CCUS and secure consent. We will also discuss the opportunity social value presents for all collaborating on these technically-driven projects – delving into the potential this has for developers and clusters in striving to achieve a just transition to net zero.

This session will review the different options available for hydrogen storage with salt caverns providing a great option with the UK having 4 salt caverns currently available and the opportunity to convert more, the option would be to use depleted oil and gas reserves. The experts will review the challenges faced what their plans are to store hydrogen in the UK and what infrastructure will be needed.

Schedule:

14:15 Chairs Opening Address: Clare Jackson, Chief Executive, Hydrogen UK
14:20 William Mezzullo, Head of Hydrogen, Centrica

• Unlocking the value of hydrogen from a whole systems perspective
• Under any Net Zero scenario, there will be a significant increase in intermittent renewable generation capacity in Great Britain with hydrogen able to play a role in managing intermittency in the power sector as well as decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. Managing peaks and troughs in electricity generation will require long-duration energy storage, of which hydrogen storage is the lowest cost.
14:40 Shabana Jamil, Head of Hydrogen Storage Business Model Team, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

How is government enabling investment in hydrogen storage?’

The development of hydrogen storage infrastructure (e.g., salt caverns) represents the critical next step in the growth of the hydrogen economy. Government as part of the British Energy Security committed to design new business models for hydrogen transport and storage infrastructure by 2025, which will be essential to grow the hydrogen economy and provide security for producers and consumers of hydrogen.
In this session I will set out how government is working to stimulate private sector investment in the storage infrastructure- including progress to date - to ensure hydrogen can play its full role in decarbonising the UK economy. 
15:00 James Earl, Director of Gas, Energy Networks Association

"The storage value of the natural gas network”

Summary: As we transition away from widespread use of natural gas and adopt hydrogen as part of a mix of replacement solutions, it is important that we recognise all of the value that we get from the existing natural gas network and that solutions are put in place to mitigate the loss of this value. This presentation will focus on the value of the natural gas network in providing system flexibility through ‘linepack’, and what the loss of this value means for the energy system of the future.
