Events

World Hydrogen Energy Conference (WHEC). Conference on hydrogen (production, storage, use) held every two years. In 2018, the 22 ^e conference will be held in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).

Anaerobic Digestion (AD). Conference on anaerobic digestion (hydrogen and methane) held every four years. In 2017, the 15th conference was held in Harbin (China).

Standards and norms

Regulations

Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 23, 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (Official Journal of the European Union 5.6.2009)

Statistical and economic data

The hydrogen market

Worldwide hydrogen production amounts to over 550 billion m ³ /year.

Worldwide, 96% of the energy currently used to produce hydrogen comes from fossil fuels using thermochemical processes: 48% from natural gas reforming, 30% from hydrocarbon reforming and 18% from coal gasification.
