World Hydrogen Leaders

What World Hydrogen Leaders does

World Hydrogen Leaders is a London-based B2B events and content business serving the clean energy sector, founded in 2017 and now operating as a fully integrated brand within S&P Global Energy, a division of S&P Global Inc. (NYSE: SPGI). The legal operating entity is Green Power Conferences Ltd., headquartered at 25 Ropemaker Street, London, with 11-50 employees. Its core offering is the Horizons Clean Energy Expansion Series — a portfolio of conferences and networking forums that has evolved from a hydrogen-focused event portfolio (formerly branded World Hydrogen Leaders, World Hydrogen Week, and World Hydrogen India) into a broader clean energy agenda covering hydrogen, electrification, CCUS, grids and resilience, alternative fuels, nuclear, and geothermal. The 2026 portfolio centers on two flagship events: the Horizons Clean Energy Expansion India Conference 2026 in New Delhi (September 23-25) and Horizons Clean Energy Expansion Week 2026 in Copenhagen (November 24-27).

The business has no proprietary technology platform; it operates as an events and conferences business with a marketing website and priority interest registration forms hosted within the S&P Global Energy Events ecosystem. The go-to-market is event-driven, targeting B2B stakeholders including industry leaders, policymakers, technology pioneers, and investors. Revenue is generated through paid conference registrations and event sponsorship (categorized as a transaction-fee model), with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Marketing and distribution are anchored inside S&P Global Energy Events, leveraging cross-promotion with flagship properties such as CERAWeek, APPEC, and the Platts Global Energy Awards to access global commodity and energy market audiences.

As a non-independent business unit within a publicly traded conglomerate, World Hydrogen Leaders does not have separately disclosed financials, funding rounds, or standalone leadership beyond its founder and director Nadim Chaudhry. Its strategic positioning — and primary value proposition — is providing an integrated cross-technology forum for stakeholders moving clean energy projects from ambition to delivery, tackling blockers such as permitting, interconnection, offtake, storage/transport, standards, and bankability.

Core offering

World Hydrogen Leaders operates an integrated portfolio of clean energy conferences, exhibitions, and networking forums, now rebranded as the Horizons Clean Energy Expansion Series within S&P Global Energy. The portfolio targets B2B stakeholders in hydrogen, electrification, CCUS, grids, alternative fuels, nuclear, and geothermal sectors through flagship events such as the Horizons Clean Energy Expansion India Conference and Horizons Clean Energy Expansion Week in Copenhagen.

Product overview

World Hydrogen Leaders is now fully integrated with S&P Global Energy as part of the Horizons Clean Energy Expansion Series. Rather than a single product, the offering is a portfolio of events and conferences designed for stakeholders moving from ambition to delivery. The portfolio includes three key products: the Horizons Clean Energy Expansion Series (the overarching portfolio brand), the Horizons Clean Energy Expansion India Conference 2026 (showcasing India's position as a hydrogen production hub), and the Horizons Clean Energy Expansion Week 2026 (a multi-track event covering hydrogen, carbon management, grids, and financing). The events bring together technology, infrastructure, policy, and investment conversations needed to scale clean energy securely, competitively, and at pace.

Direct peers

• BloombergNEF: BloombergNEF hosts the BNEF Summit and several clean energy/transition events targeting the same enterprise audience of financiers, policymakers, and project developers. Comparable as a research-and-events platform covering hydrogen, power, and clean energy infrastructure with strong brand and institutional reach.
• Wood Mackenzie: Wood Mackenzie operates Energy Transition and Hydrogen Forums alongside its research subscriptions, targeting similar energy executives and investors. Direct peer as a subscription-data-plus-events platform covering the same hydrogen and energy transition buyer base.
• Reuters Events: Reuters Events runs the Hydrogen Transition and Energy Transition conferences globally, directly targeting the same B2B stakeholder mix of industry leaders, policymakers, and financiers. Comparable scale and event-driven GTM in the clean energy conference category.
• World Energy Council: World Energy Council runs the World Energy Congress and other convenings covering the full energy transition including hydrogen, grids, and clean fuels. Comparable as a global, multi-stakeholder B2B energy events organization.
• Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum: The Atlantic Council hosts the Global Energy Forum covering geopolitics, energy security, and the transition. Comparable as a high-level policy-and-business convening targeting policymakers and energy executives intersecting with Horizons' delivery focus.

Emerging players

• Hydrogen Council: Hydrogen Council convenes CEO-level hydrogen executives and publishes hydrogen-focused insights. Comparable as a hydrogen-specific industry forum but with a narrower membership-based model rather than paid registration events.
• European Hydrogen Backbone: A consortium-driven initiative hosting working sessions and convenings on hydrogen pipeline infrastructure across Europe. Partial overlap with the hydrogen infrastructure and policy themes covered at Horizons Clean Energy Expansion Week in Copenhagen.
• Energy Council: Energy Council hosts senior-level energy executive roundtables and summits globally, including on hydrogen and transition topics. Comparable as a high-level B2B convening platform targeting similar enterprise buyers.

Regional players

• Global Wind Energy Council: GWEC organizes major wind industry events globally that share overlapping attendee base with clean energy conferences. Comparable as an industry association events business serving energy transition professionals, though narrower to wind.
