The global energy transition is accelerating, and hydrogen is recognised as one of the most promising pathways towards a sustainable and secure energy future. For hydrogen to reach its full potential, the development of large-scale infrastructure is essential. This includes hydrogen-ready pipelines, storage facilities, import and export terminals, and distribution networks that connect production sites with end-users across the industry, mobility and power generation. Every stakeholder in the sector, whether the industry leaders, policymakers, investors or technology providers, shares the responsibility of building and scaling this infrastructure to ensure hydrogen is both competitive and reliable on a global scale. The creation of such networks not only supports decarbonisation efforts but also creates major new opportunities for international trade and industrial growth.

Expanding Networks and Storage Systems

The greatest impact will come from upgrading existing natural gas pipelines to carry hydrogen and from constructing new dedicated infrastructure. Large-scale storage solutions such as salt caverns and high-capacity terminals are critical to balancing supply and demand while enabling cross-border hydrogen flows. Investments in compression, liquefaction and carrier technologies such as ammonia are opening pathways for global trade, ensuring that hydrogen can be transported safely and efficiently over long distances. At the same time, digital management systems are transforming infrastructure operations by monitoring flow rates, detecting leaks, forecasting demands and reducing energy costs while enhancing safety. These innovations are already generating multi-billion-pound investment opportunities and creating momentum for the industry to expand at scale.

Stakeholders and Global Opportunities

The hydrogen infrastructure sector brings together a wide range of stakeholders: energy companies driving pipeline and terminal construction, regulators setting global standards, investors financing long-term projects, technology providers delivering compressors, valves and monitoring platforms, logistics operators enabling international transport, and research centres pioneering new solutions. Although challenges such as cost reduction, regulatory harmonisation and safety assurance remain, the opportunities are vast. Hydrogen infrastructure is projected to unlock multi-trillion-pound investments by 2050, creating entirely new value chains and global markets. The European Hydrogen Infrastructure Summit 2026 will bring these stakeholders together to present strategies, technologies and partnerships that will define the next generation of energy systems and shape the future of the global hydrogen economy.
