Energy Transition & The Role Of Hydrogen
A “Jules Verne” Tour Of Hydrogen Around The World
Webinar
Background: The Worshipful Company of Fuellers has been striving hard to provide a balanced perspective on this topic- a task that is getting increasingly difficult given the shrill voices and the mis-information that abounds! The webinar will cover evidence based perspective on the role of Hydrogen- how its evolving across the world in a “Jules Verne Style Hydrogen Futures” and how industrial innovation is playing a role while coping with the issues of economics and regulation. The idea is to provide a flavour of what the application markets for Hydrogen globally might look like and what the real challenges to getting there lie ahead- the right mix of optimism and a reality check.
The Fuellers Company is delighted to support the Lord Mayor’s Knowledge Miles initiative and believes a fact based, reasoned and respectful debate is required on this important energy vector.
