The huge potential for hydrogen production, storage and transportation throughout the USA is endless with an extensive gas infrastructure already in place. The Biden administration has recognised hydrogen’s ‘integral role’ in meeting ambitious emission reduction targets and achieving the energy transition. What does the hydrogen landscape look like in the USA? Where are the opportunities? How is policy set to change over the next 5 years?
Join this event to discover how the world’s largest economy is investing in hydrogen and assess commercial opportunities in the country. Hear from federal and regional governments, regulators, project developers and hydrogen pilot pioneers as they share the opportunities and challenges facing the sector nationally.
