    Why the Hydrogen Rainbow Is a Useless Metric
    Green, blue, grey, all the way to yellow, for a colorless gas hydrogen has a surprising array of colors attached to it. What started as a set of nicknames has become an arcane code list for provenance, but is it time to consciously set aside this approach to hydrogen production? The risk of a fragmented market has never been more prominent, and hydrogen seems to have been engulfed by the approach more than any other commodity. And the core idea of a hydrogen economy, run on a clean-burning fuel, seems to have been lost in a battle for validity. Join us as we discuss the pitfalls and shortfalls of the hydrogen rainbow.

    Hydrogen and IMO 2050
    International Maritime Organizations 2050 goals for decarbonizing shipping require GHG emissions to drop by half compared with 2008. Low-carbon hydrogen carriers like ammonia and methanol can meet the challenge but they require ship and harbor redesign. What measures are necessary to accommodate hydrogen carriers? How does this impact shipping operations? Where are the technologies that can propel low carbon shipping? How can the industry navigate through these obstacles?
