Agenda
The Frontiers of the Texas Clean Hydrogen Economy
People are trying to make clean hydrogen happen across the U.S., but the greater Houston area has an immense head start. It’s got legacy hydrogen production, pipelines, storage, and massive industrial consumers. Now the question is, can ambitious entrepreneurs break into that market with lower-carbon hydrogen that can clean up heavy industry, trucking, and shipping?
We’ll hear from leading instigators of the new hydrogen economy, who are thinking big, real big. They’re tapping the massive renewable energy in West Texas and planning pipelines to ship green hydrogen to market, bypassing constrained grid infrastructure. Others are looking further afield, and retooling Gulf Coast ports to transform hydrogen to ammonia and ship it to customers in Europe. On this panel, we’ll go past the hydrogen basics by delving into the most intriguing projects underway to make it a reality.
How’d Texas become the biggest clean energy market?
Texas proudly operates the most freewheeling, market-based power system in the country. The state also has oustripped any other in large-scale wind and solar installations, and could soon become the biggest grid battery market, too — all without any particular climate policies to speak of. This success story is all the more vital to understand now that the presidential election has injected deep uncertainty into the future of federal clean energy policies.
How did America’s fossil fuel capital become its most aggressive adopter of clean energy? How is that sudden rise reshaping the energy markets, and where is this trend going? We’ll break down these questions with the Texas-based journalists and analysts who have tracked this tumultuous episode in Texas energy history.
