JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles is pleased to collaborate with the Energy Security and Climate Change Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) to gather a panel of leading private sector voices to highlight efforts to realize a hydrogen economy.
An emerging solution to the global climate crisis, hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier that can be used in various sectors, including passenger vehicles and electricity generation. Meanwhile, a hydrogen economy requires coordination among many actors to set up the process for producing the hydrogen, transporting it, and having the equipment to use it. This event illuminates efforts to connect supply sources to demand centers and users, internationally or within regional systems, via shipping and pipelines. Speakers also share perspectives on what it takes to advance the transportation of hydrogen.
