Decarbonization initiatives are driving forces toward the use of low-carbon gases and fuels and toward what is likely a three-gas solution: CH4 (Natural Gas), H2 (Hydrogen) and CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). Incorporating clean hydrogen as an energy carrier can leverage the nation’s existing, widespread and robust energy infrastructure to facilitate the transition to a low-carbon future. In addition, the associated fuel cell opportunities, using hydrogen as a type of storage paired with renewable power generation, incorporation of carbon capture and/or carbon sequestration options with hydrocarbons, and hydrogen as a transportation fuel; all of which open disruptive opportunities for pipeline owner/operators, LDCs and the engineering, construction and technology providers that serve them. Attend this session and gain insights into where this market is headed and the implications to your business.
The session will be led by moderator Cliff Johnson, president of the Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI), and features panelists Yuri Freedman, senior director of business development for the Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas), Brian Weeks, senior director of business development for the Gas Technology Institute (GTI), and John Wilson, senior director of business development for EN Engineering.
