Description
ABOUT THE SEMINAR
As countries and regions globally embrace the concept of the hydrogen economy, the challenges as well as the opportunities are becoming clearer. This seminar will provide an overview of hydrogen value chains and consider what legal and regulatory issues require to be resolved to allow hydrogen to play a key role in the emerging net zero economy. The focus will be especially on blue hydrogen (produced by the steam reformation of methane) and green hydrogen (produced by the electrolysis of water). Among the issues discussed will be the categorisation of hydrogen in the context of clean energy policies; the specific challenges associated with blue and green hydrogen projects; the implications for other technologies including carbon capture and sequestration, renewable electricity production, and the upgrading of grids (both gas pipelines and electricity cables); the role of shipping in the transportation of hydrogen as ammonia and the possible role of ammonia as fuel for shipping.
