NRG Center opens its doors June 28 to 29 to North America’s leading event focused primarily on hydrogen.

The packed agenda for the H2 Hydrogen Technology Expo features two days of engaging presentations aimed at establishing hydrogen as the primary option for aircraft, shipping, heavy- and light-duty commercial vehicles, space and UAV technology, and mobile and stationary applications at remote locations. Over 100 expert speakers will examine solutions addressing hydrogen’s technical and economic challenges.

Four distinct discussion tracks emphasizing technical and R&D solutions proposed to develop and overcome some of the main barriers to hydrogen and fuel cell adoption will run simultaneously, with common break times allowing for plenty of networking.

  • Track 1: clean hydrogen production, storage, and infrastructure development
  • Track 2: fuel cell technology
  • Track 3: low-carbon fuels and propulsion
  • Track 4: carbon capture, utilization, storage, and blue hydrogen

The conference showcase explores advanced design, testing, development, manufacturing solutions, and materials for hydrogen fuel cells. Additionally, attendees will discover new technology intended to advance efforts for low-carbon hydrogen production, and efficient storage, transport, and infrastructure.

Full-conference pass holders may also access the Carbon Capture Technology Expo, recently combined into the H2 Hydrogen Technology Conference as Track 4 but featuring a unique exhibition space focused on decarbonizing heavy industry.

Registration is available at hydrogen-expo.com, where the main exhibition hall is free to attend.

Houston’s Lummus Technology and Advanced Ionics have broken ground on their hydrogen pilot plant at Lummus’ R&D facility in Pasadena.

The plant will support Advanced Ionics’ cutting-edge electrolyzer technology, which aims to deliver high-efficiency hydrogen production with reduced energy requirements.

“By demonstrating Advanced Ionics’ technology at our state-of-the-art R&D facility, we are leveraging the expertise of our scientists and R&D team, plus our proven track record of developing breakthrough technologies,” Leon de Bruyn, president and CEO of Lummus, said in a news release. “This will help us accelerate commercialization of the technology and deliver scalable, cost-effective and sustainable green hydrogen solutions to our customers.”

Advanced Ionics is a Milwaukee-based low-cost green hydrogen technology provider. Its electrolyzer converts process and waste heat into green hydrogen for less than a dollar per kilogram, according to the company. The platform's users include industrial hydrogen producers looking to optimize sustainability at an affordable cost.

Lummus, a global energy technology company, will operate the Advanced Ionics electrolyzer and manage the balance of plant systems.

In 2024, Lummus and Advanced Ionics established their partnership to help advance the production of cost-effective and sustainable hydrogen technology. Lummus Venture Capital also invested an undisclosed amount into Advanced Ionics at the time.

“Our collaboration with Lummus demonstrates the power of partnerships in driving the energy transition forward,” Ignacio Bincaz, CEO of Advanced Ionics, added in the news release. “Lummus serves as a launchpad for technologies like ours, enabling us to validate performance and integration under real-world conditions. This milestone proves that green hydrogen can be practical and economically viable, and it marks another key step toward commercial deployment.”
