The US government’s launch of the Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program, with a staggering $7 billion investment, marks a critical moment for the green hydrogen industry.
Green hydrogen can be used for both industrial and energy use cases, including in combination with energy storage. Energy Vault is deploying a project combining battery storage and green hydrogen in California while several projects in Germany, including from LEAG and BASF, are doing the same.

The ACES Delta project in Utah meanwhile is looking to store up to 300GWh of green hydrogen in two huge salt caverns, backed by Chevron and Mitsubishi Power Americas. It is one of the most advanced projects using green hydrogen as seasonal storage, which goes beyond the long-duration energy storage (LDES) offerings there are today.
However, while the financial backing is clear, significant questions remain for the industry: how can we produce clean hydrogen at the volumes needed to fuel this rapidly growing ecosystem, and how can we achieve price parity with gray or blue hydrogen? Furthermore, which are the industries that stand to benefit the most from green hydrogen?
To tackle these pivotal questions, the Green Hydrogen Summit is returning to the East Coast after a hugely successful West Coast event in Seattle.
Taking place in Philadelphia on 19-20 November 2024, the summit has been meticulously crafted to showcase all the opportunities that green hydrogen offers for the region and beyond. As the premier event for the industry in the US, the summit aims to inspire and educate attendees on how to capitalise on the financial and environmental opportunities the technology presents while also providing the critical connections necessary to drive these projects forward.
Why Philadelphia?
Philadelphia serves as the ideal location for this summit, as it is a burgeoning hub for hydrogen innovation. The city’s strategic position within the Mid-Atlantic region makes it a prime location for the evolving hydrogen economy. Partnering with the Mid-Atlantic Hydrogen Hub (MACH2), the summit will provide a major boost to the momentum of hydrogen development in this region.
Built around the successful Mid-Atlantic Hydrogen Hub, the summit will offer deep insights into the latest market developments and dive into topics such as:
- The role of regional hydrogen hubs revolutionising the industry
- The $750 million investment to advance electrolysis technologies and reduce costs
- Latest techniques for reducing costs and enhancing production efficiency
MACH2: Leading the hydrogen revolution
MACH2 is a pivotal player in the hydrogen sector, encompassing Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. As one of seven national hubs in discussions for a potential $750 million award from the US Department of Energy, MACH2 is set to catalyse the hydrogen economy by integrating large-scale clean hydrogen production with off-takers, reducing costs, and advancing infrastructure. Their plans include generating both green and pink hydrogen, repurposing existing pipelines, creating over 20,000 clean energy jobs, and supporting the Biden Administration’s Justice40 Initiative, which aims to ensure equitable benefits from the clean energy transition.
By partnering with MACH2, the Green Hydrogen Summit East Coast is committed to expanding green hydrogen projects across the East Coast and beyond, positioning the region as a critical player in the national hydrogen landscape.
A unique audience driving change
The Green Hydrogen Summit East Coast is designed to attract a diverse and influential audience. Attendees will include energy suppliers, project developers, debt providers, investors, utilities, and gas transmission system operators (TSOs), as well as key government officials. In addition, the summit will bring together potential end-users of green hydrogen, from industries such as steel, aviation, maritime, and fertilisers—sectors that are crucial to decarbonising the global economy.
Beyond hydrogen: a holistic approach to decarbonisation
While green hydrogen is the summit’s focal point, the event will explore the role of hydrogen derivatives and Power-to-X (P2X) applications in the broader decarbonisation journey. These include biofuels, e-fuels, and green ammonia—all of which are poised to play a vital role in achieving carbon neutrality in various sectors.
Given the success of our last summit in Seattle, this comeback in Philadelphia promises to be even more impactful, providing attendees with actionable insights into the hydrogen economy. Don’t miss out on the definitive event for capturing both the financial gains and environmental benefits of green hydrogen. Join us in Philadelphia and be part of the future of clean energy.
The Green Hydrogen East Coast Summit will bring together the brightest minds behind the industry in Philadelphia on 19-20 November, 2024.
In partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Hydrogen Hub, our summit will be a hotspot for all members of the value chain including energy producers, policymakers, utilities, investors, solution providers, and offtakers. Don’t miss this summit, book your ticket today.
