P6: Industrial/Product Live Pitches: Hydrogen Production Network & Roadmap

Dr. Lydia Vogt is the Head of Strategic Development Hydrogen Technologies at the German Institute for Standardisation (DIN e. V.). She is responsible for the coordination of standardisation activities in the field of hydrogen in close coordination with relevant stakeholders on national, European and international level. Lydia is project leader of the joint project "Standardisation Roadmap Hydrogen Technologies' funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. Goal of the project is to develop a strategic roadmap together with experts from from industry, research, politics and civil society for a rapid and purposeful adaptation of technical regulations in the field of hydrogen technologies. Lydia has a masters in Chemistry and a PhD in the field of catalysis with focus on the production of hydrogen from energy carriers such as methanol or ammonia.

Fiona Moore, EFCF (European Electrolyser & Fuel Cell Forum)

Manager's Assistant

Switzerland

Fiona has worked at the European Electrolyser and Fuel Cell Forum since 2015. She obtained her degree in Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology in the UK, and began her career working for an engineering firm focused on the detection of airborne chemical and biological material. Joining EFCF after moving to Switzerland allowed her to further expand her interest in environmental innovations and learn more about the possibilities offered by hydrogen technologies. She has been instrumental in helping to establish a specialist symposium running in parallel to EFCF events focusing on Microbial and Enzymatic Fuel Cells and Reactors. In her free time she likes to sew, care for a slightly unusual collection of pets, and ride motorbikes.

The Most Important Regulatory Developments for the Energy Storage Industry

Tuesday, May 06, 2025, 02:30 pm - 04:00 pm

ICM München Room 5

To provide much-needed flexibility to the increasingly renewables-dominated power systems, energy storage requires suitable market schemes and fair market conditions. Although authorities are increasingly recognizing the benefits of storage, regulations are still lagging behind. Lack of contracted revenues, barriers to co-location with PV, and an uneven playing field for European cleantech manufacturers are only a few examples of where storage needs regulatory action.In this panel, experts discuss the most exciting developments in regulatory frameworks, their suitability for unlocking the full potential of energy storage as well as necessary improvements.

Quality Indicators in C&I Storage Systems: What to Look For

Wednesday, May 07, 2025, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

ICM München Room 5

As the share of fluctuating electricity producers (PV and wind power) continues to grow, electric energy storage systems will have to fulfill more and more functions in the grid. Batteries play a particularly important role here. From commercial and industrial storage systems to utility-scale storage systems for multi-use cases, the requirements are increasing. Key quality indicators are not only safety (including functional safety) but also reliability as well as performance, defined by efficiency and effectiveness, over an ideally long service life. Compliance with site-specific requirements, such as noise generation, is also important. In this session, these aspects will be examined from different points of view, providing recommendations beyond existing standards based on operating experience.
