Willemien Terpstra Announced as Keynote Speaker at H2A Symposium 2025

H2A is proud to announce that Willemien Terpstra, CEO and Chair of the Executive Board of N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie, will join the H2A Symposium on June 19, 2025, as one of this year’s keynote speakers. 

Gasunie is not only a central player in the European hydrogen economy, but also a key partner of many H2A members. Through HyNetwork, Gasunie is helping to lay the foundation for the Netherlands’ national hydrogen backbone, a system that will allow the Port of Amsterdam to distribute imported hydrogen to industrial users throughout the Netherlands and into Germany. This shared vision of connectivity and scalability has fueled a strong, collaborative relationship between Gasunie and H2A stakeholders. 

This collaboration was on full display last month when HyNetwork signed a Joint Development Agreement with counterparts from Oman. During that milestone event, Willemien joined us for an inspiring presentation at the future site of the Ecolog Liquid Hydrogen Terminal, underlining Gasunie’s commitment to international partnerships and infrastructure that delivers impact. 

At the H2A Symposium, Willemien will take the stage to share Gasunie’s vision for the hydrogen supply chain and discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead. Her keynote addresses how cross-border cooperation, infrastructure readiness, and strategic leadership can overcome current bottlenecks and accelerate the transition to a hydrogen-powered future. 

With over 25 years of experience in the chemical and energy sectors, Willemien is renowned for her strategic vision, inclusive leadership, and ability to inspire action. In addition to her leadership at Gasunie, she has played an instrumental role in Dutch climate policy, notably representing the Rotterdam chemical cluster at the national Climate Table. 

Her insights will no doubt add depth to the conversations taking place at this year’s symposium and inspire continued momentum in the hydrogen transition. 

We are honoured to welcome Willemien Terpstra to the H2A Symposium 2025.
