The Sustainable Energy Council has recently announced that the Asia-Pacific Hydrogen Summit and Exhibition 2024 will be held in Brisbane, Queensland, on September 12–13, 2024. This event is set to bring together more than 3,000 industry leaders and 150 exhibitors from across the hydrogen value chain to showcase the latest technology, discuss new policies, and analyze upcoming projects in the hydrogen space. 
 
Building on the success of its inaugural event in 2023, this year's summit will be held in partnership with the Australian Hydrogen Council and supported by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission and Queensland Government. The goal of this event is to unite government and industry stakeholders to accelerate hydrogen development globally. 
 
One of the key features of this year's summit is a diverse range of sessions that will take place over two days. These sessions will feature esteemed speakers such as The Hon Chris Bowen MP (Australian Government's Minister for Climate Change and Energy), The Right Honourable Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg (Premier of Sarawak), The Honourable Mick de Brenni (Queensland Government's Minister for Energy and Clean Economy Jobs), and Anja Hajduk (State Secretary at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action), among others. 
 
Dr. Fiona Simon, CEO of the Australian Hydrogen Council, expressed her excitement about partnering with SEC again to deliver one of the largest hydrogen events in the Asia-Pacific region.
