In a sustainable energy system, hydrogen can act as a large-scale and long-duration energy storage medium and as flexible energy generation.


Many governments, investors, industry groups and other organizations are now moving at a rapid pace to identify how best to invest in hydrogen. Amid this acceleration, Chris Angelides, Energy Managing Director, Ernst & Young LLP, and Zane McDonald, Executive Director, Open Hydrogen Initiative, sit down to discuss the energy source, its potential and how to reach it. In their discussion, they consider:

  • What is the opportunity for hydrogen in the US, and the purpose behind Open Hydrogen Initiative?
  • What is needed to propel hydrogen’s progress in the US energy system?
  • What role does carbon data play in developing and differentiating the hydrogen product?

Summary

Navigating factors — from investments, to commercialization, to data on carbon intensity — will determine the pace by which the benefits of hydrogen will be realized.
