Join Us October 4th for Harnessing Hydrogen!

Washington & Jefferson College’s Center for Energy Policy & Management is thrilled to announce our upcoming event Harnessing Hydrogen: Exploring Local & Regional Opportunities in Appalachia. While hydrogen energy and carbon capture utilization/storage present tremendous opportunities for the tri-state region, the path forward is unclear. Several economic, regulatory, and technological challenges to development and deployment exist. Furthermore, local and regional governmental bodies lack a knowledge base to assess the costs and benefits of the burgeoning industry. Harnessing Hydrogen is a day-long event that will feature individual talks, panel discussions, and interest-specific breakout sessions related to the deployment of hydrogen energy within the Pennsylvania-Ohio-West Virginia area. The event will be hosted by the Center for Energy Policy & Management, which strives to provide credible, impartial, and accessible information on the region's most salient energy topics. The event will feature several talks by thought-leaders and professionals who are at the forefront of the hydrogen and carbon capture discussion, three (3) panel discussions, and two (2) break-out group sessions centered around the following subjects:

• Panel 1: Fundamentals of Hydrogen Energy and Carbon Capture,

• Panel 2: Challenges, Opportunities, and Barriers to Entry,

• Panel 3: Governance Issues and the Regulatory Landscape,

• Breakout Group 1: Discussion on local and regional governmental bodies' roles in hydrogen development, and

• Breakout Group 2: Discussion on industry affairs, finance, and technological deployment of hydrogen energy

Harnessing Hydrogen is FREE to attend and will be held on Tuesday, October 4 from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. in-person at Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania.
