4 August 2020 10:00 AM MT

This 60 minute webinar will compare pros and cons of hydrogen/carbon neutral methane/ammonia with subtopics including infrastructure, availability/production needs, and timeline restrictions. Speakers will discuss:

  • Does the oxygen produced by splitting H20 into hydrogen for fuel have a positive environmental impact that should be considered? (or is it such a small impact that it doesn’t even matter)
  • Will one fuel become the natural market leader over time? If so, why?
  • Emerging markets for renewable or synthetic fuels (transportation, aviation, industry)
  • The process of producing renewable and carbon neutral fuels (synthetic fuels, hydrogen) including price of fuels and technologies involved
  • Infrastructure/timeline
  • What are the current policies in place to support these fuels?  What developments are needed?
