Thursday, July 9, 2020 - Thursday, July 9, 2020

THURSDAY, JULY 9 AT 10:00AM PT. 2050 targets for net-zero emissions have experienced a meteoric rise as carbon policies move to the top of policy agendas. Stakeholders are now wondering whether these targets can be reached with electrons alone, or if we need molecules too. The renewables transition is making great strides, but the path from 50% decarbonization targets to full decarbonization will require a leap in terms of how we think about delivering energy.


Join Guidehouse's experts for a lively discussion on the role of hydrogen in enabling greater resiliency in a fully decarbonized future, and how organizations can begin tapping into its potential. This discussion is the fourth installment in a new Guidehouse webinar series, Pathways to Resilience: Infrastructure 4.0.

Panelists

  • Mark Eisenhower, partner at Guidehouse
  • Kees van der Leun, director at Guidehouse
  • Danielle Vitoff, associate director at Guidehouse
  • H. Christine Richards, managing consultant at Guidehouse (moderator)
     

Key Topics

  • Vision of a fully decarbonized future
  • Hydrogen's value in a fully decarbonized future
  • The path to hydrogen
     

What Does This Webinar Answer?

  • What are the key differences in approaches for achieving 50% decarbonization targets versus full decarbonization?
  • Why does hydrogen matter in a fully decarbonized future? What is its value?
  • What does the business model look like for hydrogen?
  • What are the challenges associated with hydrogen? How are those overcome?
  • What are the next steps to better plan and prepare for hydrogen?

WEDNESDAY, JULY 29 AT 8:00AM PT. Hydrogen in the Universe - and on Earth.

We are living in dramatic times of climate change and its impact on the Earth's environment, on our quality of life and on global migration of humans.

Hence, it is about highest time to change our way of energy consumption and switch to CO2-free energy sources. The most powerful and reliable energy source, which we could easily tab, is the Sun. With the power of the Sun (which is also responsible for the winds on Earth) we can easily satisfy the world's total energy demand.An issue which is often raised when it comes to the large-scale usage of renewable energy sources is transportation and storage as those sources are highly local and temporally fluctuating.

Nevertheless even here, the technical solution is ready to use: H2. Hydrogen is the most abundant element and molecule in the Universe, but unfortunately not available in molecular form (H2) on Earth. Fortunately, H2 is easily produced just from water via electrolysis and back-converted with via fuel cells.

In this talk, Prof. Dr. Robi Banerjee will give an (global/astrophysical) overview of how to realistically install a Sun and H2-based energy economy and discuss the next steps we have to take to be successful.

Prof. Dr. Robi Banerjee is Professor for Theoretical Astrophysics (W2)
at the University of Hamburg, since May 2011.

Wednesday, July 15, 2020 - Wednesday, July 15, 2020

WEDNESDAY, JULY 15 AT 8:00AM PT. Steve Mathison will introduce concepts to lower the cost of hydrogen fueling by making improvements to the existing SAE J2601 protocols and by utilizing completely new protocol approaches which can facilitate customer acceptable fueling at warmer hydrogen pre-cooling temperatures. These methods would reduce the cost of chillers at the station, reduce energy consumption, and increase station reliability without sacrificing fueling performance. These approaches are especially applicable to high flow fueling at 70 MPa, a key aspect of H2@Scale, wherein station energy consumption and customer sensitivity to fuel costs is even more prominent than it is for light duty fueling.

Join for free! (Click on the button at the bottom right "JOIN NOW")

Steve Mathison recently joined NREL as a Research Engineer in the Hydrogen Production, Power, and Storage group. Steve previously worked as a Principal Engineer at Honda R&D Americas, LLC, where he developed the MC Formula fueling protocol. Steve also serves as the current document sponsor for SAE J2601, and as Chair of the SAE Fuel Cell Standards Committee Interface Taskforce.
