About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe Hydrogen Americas Summit & Exhibition is a B2B conference and exhibition focused on advancing clean hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) across the Americas region. Organized by the Sustainable Energy Council under RX (Reed Exhibitions), the event has historically been co-hosted with the U.S. Department of Energy and positions itself as a hub for energy leaders, project developers and off-takers to shape hydrogen's role in the evolving energy landscape.
The program combines a paid Strategic Summit of high-level conference sessions with a free-to-attend exhibition floor. For 2026, the show moves to Houston, Texas — the heart of the Americas' energy capital — and introduces a dedicated CCUS Americas track alongside its hydrogen agenda.
Attendees include senior executives, government representatives, energy majors, technology innovators, heavy industry and off-takers actively shaping hydrogen and CCUS deployment. It is worth attending for its concentration of decision-makers, its policy-focused programming and the practical partnerships and project pathways it helps forge in a relatively intimate, high-quality environment.
Show Highlights
- Strategic Summit: Two days of high-level conference sessions with policymakers and industry leaders shaping hydrogen and CCUS deployment.
- NEW for 2026 — CCUS Americas: A dedicated track on carbon capture, utilization and storage, aimed at advancing projects, forging partnerships and accelerating large-scale adoption.
- Exhibition floor: Free-to-attend expo where companies showcase hydrogen and CCUS technologies and end-to-end solutions.
- Networking: Coffee breaks, lunches and drinks receptions designed to connect delegates with an audience of around 1,000 senior decision-makers and off-takers.
Announced 2026 speakers include Dr Sunita Satyapal (hydrogen leader and former Director of the U.S. DOE Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office), Jeffrey Pollack (Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer, Port of Corpus Christi), Makini Byron (Director, Clean Energy Strategy, Linde), Eiji Ohira (Kawasaki Gas Turbine Europe) and Jakob Krummenacher (Vice President of Low Carbon Products, LSB Industries).

History
The Hydrogen Americas Summit was established as a premier gathering for the hydrogen community in the Americas, co-hosted by the Sustainable Energy Council (SEC) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The 2nd edition took place on 10–11 October 2022 in Washington, D.C., with keynote speakers including then–Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. Following a sell-out 2022 summit, the 2023 edition (2–3 October) expanded to the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C., adding a world-class exhibition and a Tech Series stage. The 2024 edition returned to Washington, D.C. on 11–12 June, and the 2025 edition was held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in the Washington, D.C. area on 3–4 September. For 2026, the show relocates to Houston, Texas and introduces a dedicated CCUS Americas track.
