Hydrogen, the future fuel: Hype or Reality?

(ONLINE EVENT)
The London Business School Alumni Energy Club invites you to an online event exploring the future of Hydrogen.

Is Hydrogen the silver bullet for carbon neutrality? You might think so with the recent news about Hydrogen Policy from Brussels and national governments as well as the many investments being made by oil companies, utilities, and industry. But Hydrogen has been the fuel of the future before and yet never quite broke through. Is it different today?

We will talk to experts looking at Hydrogen from very different places in the Value Chain: Policy, Generation, and End User.

What will we talk about?

  • How fast might Hydrogen grow in Europe?

  • Where are the business opportunities?

  • Where is policy heading?

  • Is this more than wishful thinking?
