Hydrogen has significant potential to help decarbonize multiple sectors, including power generation, transportation and heating. As a zero carbon fuel, hydrogen can also play a critical role in providing long duration storage, helping to balance renewable supply with demand, while maintaining reliability and resiliency. As increasing amounts of offshore wind energy come into New York, green hydrogen production can be powered by excess renewables, storing that energy for hours when the wind is not blowing. Join us to hear about the role hydrogen can play in decarbonizing New York and what it will take to develop the hydrogen economy.
