Power-to-Gas Congress Switzerland to be held for the second time
After the successful realization of the first Power-to-Gas Congress in 2021, the aim of this year's congress is to expand the focus to foreign countries and to show the current state of the topic Power-to-Gas nationally and internationally. This year's event will take place on September 6 at the Umwelt Arena Spreitenbach.
Green hydrogen will play a role in the future, but which one? At the first Power-to-Gas Congress in Jar 2021, the focus was on experiences, research reports and examples from Switzerland. More than 200 high-ranking representatives from politics, administration, research and industry informed themselves about the latest state of hydrogen technologies.
This year's congress now focuses on the experiences, solutions and lighthouse projects from abroad and the countries with pioneering roles in Europe, South America and the Middle East. Switzerland is represented in various international bodies on hydrogen technology and has signed a declaration of intent ("Political Declaration on hydrogen") for cooperation between the penta-countries (Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland) in the field of hydrogen. In the federal government's energy perspectives, hydrogen is considered to be useful above all in industry and to some extent in heavy road traffic.
But to what extent will hydrogen be an important energy source for Switzerland to ensure energy supply security and close the winter electricity gap? What is the role of domestic production and what is the role of imports of power-to-gas from other countries? What are the political framework conditions in the EU and Switzerland? How can we create attractive conditions for the production of hydrogen in Switzerland and how can we achieve attractive conditions for the import of hydrogen? These and other questions will be discussed at the congress in Spreitenbach on September 6, 2022.
The Power-to-Gas Congress is aimed at politicians at national, cantonal and municipal level, owners and board members of energy supply companies (EVU), waste incineration plants or wastewater treatment plants, but also at entrepreneurs and decision-makers from traffic, transport, logistics and industrial companies. The rich program will begin at 13:45, and will conclude with an aperitif. Speakers from Germany and abroad will talk about experiences and further developments of hydrogen as an energy carrier.
