    The Case for Hydrogen in the Energy Transition

    Panel Gas

    New technologies in producing hydrogen have brought hydrogen as an energy carrier back into focus. Hydrogen can play a role in the energy transition. A key question is whether hydrogen provides an alternative to an all-electric future. This session will explore this question among other topics on the role and future of hydrogen.

    What Does the Hydrogen Transportation Economy Look Like?

    Panel Gas Transportation/Mobility

    Hydrogen is gaining attention as a low-carbon energy carrier with applications in industry, power generation, homes, and transportation. While the costs of hydrogen in transportation are high, the transport sector could allow for the fastest development of the use of hydrogen in niche areas (HGV, ports). Policy incentives to encourage this could provide for a significant step to lower emissions.
