In November 2021, President Joe Biden signed into law the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The new legislation features a suite of hydrogen-specific provisions aimed at driving large-scale deployment and investment for the US hydrogen industry.
Included within this is $8bn of funding to create at least four regional hubs to demonstrate the production, processing, delivery, storage and end-use of clean hydrogen. These hubs will turbo-charge the nation’s progress toward heavy trucking and industrial sectors that run without producing carbon pollution – and they may just provide the path forward to a hydrogen-fuelled future.
Whilst the US has been giving chase in a race to green hydrogen dominated by Europe and Asia-Pacific, could now be the time we see the nation take the lead? With California and Texas vying to be America’s hydrogen capital today, where are the hubs of tomorrow?
Further still, what can other states, and countries, learn from California’s success story? And how can we build bridges to a successful flow of international investment?
These are exactly the questions H2 View’s North American Hydrogen Summit 2022, which we are hosting in partnership with the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Partnership (H2FCP), will endeavour to answer as we look at the diversity of what’s popping up across the US.
This event will also explore the investment climate and look at the various areas of mobility, not least why fuel cell buses are the canaries in the coal mine of hydrogen transportation.
Join us in San Francisco on July 14-15 as we take H2 View events to America’s original clean hydrogen hub and all come together to help make hydrogen happen.
H2 View and The California Fuel Cell Partnership will welcome you to San Francisco by hosting our Welcome Networking Reception within the exhibition hall at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Enjoy an evening of refreshments whilst networking with attendees, exhibitors and sponsors. Sponsored by Hy Stor Energy
Mayor Parris will be sharing his insight into Lancaster becoming the nation’s first hydrogen city.
Both California and Texas are looking to lead America’s hydrogen market. Houston, and wider Texas, is the traditional home of merchant hydrogen. While California is the centre of demand for clean hydrogen, Texas has taken a different angle on its hydrogen journey focusing on the industrial use. As Executive Director of the Texas Hydrogen Alliance, David Raney will be exploring whether Texas is America’s hydrogen capital in his presentation.
Brenor Brophy, Vice President of Product Development at Plug Power will give us insight into Plug Power’s recently announced plans in Fresno County, California. The plant will not only produce 30 metric tons of liquid green hydrogen daily, serving customers from San Diego to Vancouver, but the project also includes construction of a new tertiary wastewater treatment plant that will provide recycled water for the people of Mendota.
An opportunity to network with other attendees over a cup of coffee.
With New York unveiling plans to develop the state into green hydrogen hub and their aim to secure a share of federal funding, Devinder Mahajan, Director of the Institute of Gas Innovation and Technology at Stony Brook University will be giving his insight into these plans and what the future may hold for a hydrogen hub in New York.
Join the H2 View team, Event Sponsors and Exhibitors in the Grand Foyer for lunch and networking.
Hugo Wagner, Strategic Technology Partnerships Manager at Airbus, is set to highlight the collaborations that Airbus is exploring across the hydrogen value chain to make this vision for a safe and clean aerospace future a reality. One of the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers, Airbus is committed to bringing a zero-emission, hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft to market by 2035.
Combating climate change and transitioning to new energy sources requires funding in the entire value chain. HY24’s Investment Director, Alejandro Perellón, will be discussing the Clean H2 Infra Fund, which aims to provide investment in both upstream and downstream clean hydrogen projects and how the fund can help accelerate the scale up of strategic and large-scale projects, as well as hydrogen solutions and markets.
An opportunity to network with other attendees over a cup of coffee.
Chevron New Energies’ strategy is straightforward, they aim to leverage their strengths to deliver lower carbon energy to a growing world. Michael Hoban, General Manager Hydrogen, will explain how the company adopted a 2050 net zero aspiration for equity upstream scope 1 and 2 emissions and the impact that has on the company.
Join Cory Shumaker, Head of Business Development – Americas, as he discusses Hyzon’s plans for accelerating the clean energy transition by providing zero-emission vehicles with no compromise on power or range, and having access to an ecosystem of renewable affordable hydrogen.
AC Transit has the largest fuel cell bus programme in the US, if not globally. They have also recently released a report with Stanford University that discusses their buses, mileage accomplishments and the stations that they are building. There are challenges ahead, can we overcome them? Michael Hursh, General Manager at AC Transit will take the stage to tell us more!
When The Clean Air Task Force was first launched, their strategy was simple: enact federal policy to force older coal plants to meet the same emission rates as new plants. Since then, their strategy and efforts have broadened. Jonathan Lewis, Senior Counsel and Director of Transportation Decarbonisation at The Clean Air Task Force will explain how they continue to apply their technical and policy know-how to aspects of the climate challenge in cutting-edge ways.
The Closing Keynote speech will be delivered by Bill Elrick, Executive Director of the California Fuel Cell Partnership. It will be the opportunity to reflect on proceedings, whilst also looking forward to the future. Let’s make hydrogen happen!
The Networking Dinner offers you the opportunity to converse with like minded business professionals over dinner and refreshments. Cody Batemen, CEO of GenH2 will be giving the Pre-Dinner Speech. Sponsored by GenH2.
