Program
The European Hydrogen Energy Congress (EHEC 2026) will feature a robust and forward-looking scientific program structured into parallel technical sessions across the three-day congress. The program brings together hydrogen researchers, energy scientists, engineers, industry leaders, policymakers, and technology innovators to discuss breakthroughs in hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and utilization.
EHEC 2026 will host high-quality plenary, keynote, invited, and technical lectures from international experts, covering the full hydrogen value chain — from fundamental science and materials development to system integration, large-scale deployment, and hydrogen-driven energy transition.
Key components of the EHEC 2026 program include:
- Opening Plenary & Keynote Lectures by globally recognized leaders in hydrogen energy, clean fuels, and sustainable energy systems
- IAAM Fellow Assembly Sessions addressing strategic hydrogen roadmaps, policy frameworks, international collaboration, and future hydrogen economies
- Parallel Technical Sessions covering hydrogen production (green, blue, and emerging pathways), electrolysis technologies, hydrogen storage and transport, fuel cells, power-to-X, hydrogen infrastructure, and safety
- Industry & Innovation Sessions showcasing pilot projects, scale-up strategies, industrial deployment, and commercialization of hydrogen technologies
- Congress Concluding Session highlighting scientific outcomes, technology outlooks, policy insights, and recognitions
The parallel session structure enables participants to engage with topics most relevant to their expertise while encouraging interdisciplinary exchange and impactful collaboration across academia, industry, and policy sectors.
Net Zero Congress Policy
AMC Assemblies is committed to implementing a Net Zero policy for the European Hydrogen Energy Congress. The environmental footprint of the event is assessed and managed in alignment with carbon reduction principles and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
While venue energy systems may rely partly on non-renewable sources, all other aspects of the congress — including accommodation, catering, transportation, and event operations — are planned according to minimum-impact standards, supporting emission reduction, waste minimization, and responsible resource use.
Through these climate-smart initiatives, EHEC 2026 aims to demonstrate leadership in sustainable event practices and invites all participants to actively contribute to a greener hydrogen-powered future.
Program Notes
The European Hydrogen Energy Congress (EHEC 2026) will take place from 25–27 August 2026 in Stockholm, Sweden.
