Energy Conversation: A Hydrogen Future?

Centre for Energy Policy

<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal">Centre for Energy Policy Energy Conversations:</H3>
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal">How feasible and desirable is a transition to a hydrogen future? (chaired by Alf Young)</H3>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal">Registration and welcome refreshments from 5:30pm.</P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal">Event will run 6:00pm-7:30pm, and will be followed by a drinks reception.</P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><STRONG>Conversationalists include:</STRONG> David Joffe, UK Committee on Climate Change; Graeme Sweeney, Zero Emissions Platform and Visiting Professor at the Centre for Energy Policy, University of Strathclyde; and Karen Turner, Director of the Centre for Energy Policy, University of Strathclyde.</P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal">Both the UK and Scottish Governments have signalled that hydrogen is likely to play a key role in the decarbonisation of our economy, with the UK Clean Growth Strategy and Scottish Energy Strategy each presenting a high-hydrogen scenario as one possible pathway for achieving a dramatically decarbonised energy system. There are demonstrator projects across the UK, from Orkney to Keele, trialling a range of hydrogen applications from using hydrogen fuel cells to power ferries, to providing hydrogen as a substitute fuel for natural gas for domestic heating and cooking.</P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal">Join us at this Energy Conversation to explore what we mean by a hydrogen future and what the implications of such a transition might be. We will consider:</P>
<UL>
<LI>What scale of hydrogen deployment is feasible, over what timescale?</LI>
<LI>What things (e.g. technologies, policies, finance) might need to be in place to support a hydrogen future – and where do we see those coming from?</LI>
<LI>How can hydrogen support a Just Transition, where jobs and carbon are not off-shored?</LI>
<LI>What options might we be foreclosing if we opted for a high-hydrogen future?</LI>
<LI>How can we uncover the real costs of transitioning to a hydrogen future? How can we decide on how those costs should be distributed?</LI>
<LI>What – if any – challenges might there be around public acceptability? Are people supportive of a hydrogen future?</LI>
