Presentation title: Hydrogen, Hubs, and Energy Infrastructure

Synopsys:

Hydrogen is poised to contribute significantly to meeting net-zero emission targets and global decarbonization efforts. It can be used as an energy carrier for electricity generation, fuel for difficult-to-decarbonize industries sectors, heavy transportation, and shipping. Hydrogen is a great energy storage vehicle that will scale up on-demand clean energy generation capacity to accommodate peak demand. The creation of the hydrogen ecosystem demands careful consideration of policies that support technological development and regulate the development of supporting infrastructure, which will require the coordination of social, economic, technical, scientific, and commercial forces. We will discuss the current state of science and technology and explore potential areas of hydrogen systems development in Wyoming and nationwide. We will discuss some opportunities and challenges in scaling up the hydrogen ecosystem.
