Description
Hydrogen & the Smart Transition
The Energy Transition is not a linear process, and the climate change industry continues to operate in multiple layers of energy production, storage, distribution and efficient consumption, as well as the legacy issues. The promise of hydrogen as the simplest of molecules and perhaps the most challenging and perplexing of energy carriers has the clean energy world diving into hydrogen applications across all major energy categories. While too premature to quantify today’s market in terms of revenues for equipment and services, few doubt a trillion-dollar future for hydrogen and other elements of the smart transition 1-7
Features also include updates on Carbon Markets and Energy Storage segments, a section on Nature-based Solutions and profiles of CCBJ 2023 award winners in induction charging and community partnership.
