California Hydrogen Leadership Summit
June 6-7, 2022 | Sacramento, California
More than 350 government leaders and key industry stakeholders attending the inaugural California Hydrogen Leadership Summit explored policy actions which could accelerate the production, use, and storage of renewable hydrogen to meet and advance California’s decarbonization, air quality and sustainable economic development goals.
Summit speakers outlined the importance of hydrogen as an energy source to address climate change, improve air quality, and help decarbonize otherwise difficult sectors such as long-haul trucking, the ports, power generation, and heavy industries such as steel and cement, as well as supporting the transition renewable energy through long term storage. Many expressed the view that hydrogen is a technology that fills that gap for long-range, zero-emission transportation, and outlined legislative and regulatory actions California can take to expand hydrogen production and use.
