Why Hydrogen and Why Now? Join us for a one-hour presentation and discussion led by Mike Peters from the hydrogen research group at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
“Solar panels and wind turbines can’t clean up everything. Making steel, for instance, calls for higher temperatures than traditional electric furnaces can deliver. That’s why plans for blunting climate change now envision a big role for hydrogen in curbing industrial emissions and for powering cars, trucks and ships. So-called green hydrogen is essentially emissions free. But meeting the ambitious plans being made for it means building a giant industry almost from scratch.” Bloomberg June 18, 2021
