Yale Center for Business and the Environment and Yale’s Tsai CITY presents “Fueling a Green Hydrogen Economy”. Green hydrogen offers the potential for versatile, low-carbon fuels that can decarbonize some of the trickiest sectors to electrify. However, the technology has often seemed like it’s always right around the corner, without ever quite arriving. Recently, green hydrogen has once again seemed within reach, but it’s not just due to technology breakthroughs. Moving towards a green hydrogen transport system has required careful coordination of technology producers, corporate partners, investors, and policy. This panel discussion will explore the collaborations that are needed to advance low-carbon innovation, featuring experts on the frontlines of the transition.

Speakers:

Taylor Huff, founder and CEO of Origen Hydrogen
Sanjay Shrestha, chief strategy officer of Plug Power

Dan Kim, senior director of business development at Pilot Company

Josh Posamentier, co-founder and managing partner of Congruent Ventures

Analisa Bevan, Assistant Division Chief, Sustainable Transportation and Communities Division
