Register for PetrolPlaza Talks #5: Hydrogen Fueling

The fifth episode of PetrolPlaza Talks will gather Air Liquide, Migrol AG and the California Fuel Cell Partnership to discuss hydrogen fueling, fuel cell vehicles, and the role they will play in the future fuel mix. Join us on Monday, November 30.

The global automotive fuel cell market size is projected to reach USD 24.81 billion by the end of 2027. California, Germany, South Korea and China are all speeding up the installation of hydrogen fueling stations. The profitability of these sites is expected to remain low for the next three to five years until there are enough cars on the road.

The push from companies such as Shell, Total, Nikola and Hyundai, which distributed its first fuel cell trucks in Switzerland this month, shows the clear potential that this technology can have for society and the fueling industry.

Join Oscar Smith Diamante, Editor-in-Chief PetrolPlaza, and three industry leaders from Europe and the U.S. for the next episode of PetrolPlaza Talks. Find out more about the challenges and opportunities provided by the hydrogen mobility sector.

The Zoom session is free but has limited spaces. Those unable to enter will be able to watch it live on YouTube.
