As Europe proceeds with the transition from natural gas to hydrogen, the Dutch and German energy sectors sit at the centre of this shift – from repurposed pipeline infrastructure to new cross-border supply arrangements. This transition raises a distinctive mix of legal, regulatory and commercial questions: how existing gas contracts and infrastructure agreements adapt to the developments, how regulatory frameworks in the Netherlands and Germany are evolving (and where they diverge) and where these changes are most likely to generate commercial friction and disputes.
Join us for a lunch panel discussion bringing together legal and industry practitioners working at the heart of this transition for a candid, cross-border exchange on the practical challenges and dispute risks emerging as gas infrastructure and contracts are repurposed for a hydrogen future.
