From 14 to 16 May, we will be taking part in NetZero 2025 Milan, an expo-summit dedicated to the decarbonisation of the industrial sector, at the Allianz MiCo congress centre in Milan. This is a major event organised by Fiera Milano and dedicated to the strategies, solutions and opportunities of the Net-Zero economy by 2050.
With more than 130 international speakers, eight knowledge partners and an agenda full of conferences and round tables, the event represents a strategic opportunity to meet with industry professionals, explore new market trends and promote the role of hydrogen in the energy transition.
The thematic focuses of NetZero 2025 Milan
NetZero 2025 Milan offers an international stage to discuss European environmental policies, new regulations and financial instruments to support companies focusing on sustainability.
To support companies in the challenge of the energy transition, NetZero 2025 is proposed as a transversal platform embracing all technologies that can contribute to the goal of decarbonisation:
- solar utility scale and industrial
- hydro and wind
- green hydrogen batteries
- emerging energy technologies and new fuels
- solutions for removing and offsetting CO2 emissions
In addition, the event will propose electrification, digitisation and decarbonisation solutions designed for industries with a greater environmental impact and will also address green policy and financing issues.
The conference calendar of NetZero 2025 Milan
Among the highlights of the event is the first NetZero Summit in Milan, scheduled for 14 May. This is a high-profile conference, organised to discuss strategies and policy issues related to energy transition and industrial competitiveness.
In addition, on 15 and 16 May there are 12 thematic conferences on energy technology trends, market information, successful business cases and bankability assessments. Each conference is managed and curated in cooperation with a knowledge partner identified by expertise in the relevant field. In particular, three of them are closely related to the use of hydrogen as a strategic energy carrier:
- Clean hydrogen for competitive decarbonisation
- Decarbonisation of heavy transport
- Decarbonisation in hard-to-abate manufacturing industries
Let’s see what topics will be covered within these thematic conferences.
Conference on Clean Hydrogen for Competitive
A conference entitled “Clean Hydrogen for Competitive Decarbonisation” is scheduled for 15 May. This event is dedicated to the central role of hydrogen in supporting decarbonisation as a clean and versatile energy carrier.
Despite its undoubted advantages, making hydrogen a truly competitive decarbonisation tool entails major challenges such as cost reduction, infrastructure development and political support. This conference will explore these challenges from multiple perspectives.
Conference on decarbonisation of heavy transport
Also on 15 May, a conference entitled “Decarbonisation of heavy transport: aviation, shipping and other modes” takes place. This event is dedicated to the role of new propulsion technologies and sustainable fuels, including hydrogen, in achieving the goals set by the EU to reduce greenhouse gas emissions towards carbon neutrality by 2050.
Although the potential for sustainable fuels in Europe is significant, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed in order to achieve a real decarbonisation of transport. These include high investments to reduce the still high production costs, limited infrastructure and the need for supportive regulatory frameworks.
Collaborative efforts between governments, industry stakeholders and research institutes are essential to overcome these obstacles. Public-private partnerships can drive investment in research, infrastructure development and the necessary market incentives, thereby accelerating the transition to sustainable fuels in all transport sectors.
Conference on decarbonisation in hard-to-abate manufacturing industries
A conference entitled “Decarbonisation in hard-to-abate manufacturing industries: not just an obligation, a strategic move” is scheduled for 16 May.
The manufacturing sector, particularly in energy-intensive sectors such as cement and steel, presents unique challenges for decarbonisation due to its inherently carbon-intensive nature.
Decarbonisation in these sectors is a very complex challenge and relies on strong collaboration between industry leaders, policy makers and research institutes.
This event will bring together key players in the sector to explore viable strategies, foster collaboration and highlight real-world success stories to drive the transition to a low-carbon future in hard-toabate manufacturing sectors.
Simplifhy’s role in the hydrogen landscape
At NetZero Milan 2025 we will be at stand B15. It will be an important meeting point to present our hydrogen expertise to visitors.
We design and implement tailor-made solutions for the entire hydrogen supply chain, offering consulting, engineering and state-of-the-art technologies for the production, storage, distribution and use of hydrogen in industry and energy.
With an integrated and sustainability-oriented approach, we support companies in their energy transition, helping to reduce emissions and promote a zero-carbon future.
