Final Agenda
Final Report
Overall Objective:
The objective of the workshop is to gather and share ideas on how to validate and advance the role of the fossil energy sector as an economic means to rapidly deploy hydrogen pathways to decarbonized energy systems. The first day of the workshop will focus on the big picture of the hydrogen economy, including timelines, scale, deployment scenarios across the fossil energy sector, while the second day will focus on collaborative solutions and partnerships needed to overcome challenges faced by stakeholders throughout the hydrogen value chain. This event is unique in its focus on the fossil energy sector, and in its goal of fostering dialog within this group to accelerate deployment of hydrogen.
