Decarbonizing with Hydrogen:
Challenges and Opportunities

California has made significant strides in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, but there remain many challenges to achieving carbon neutrality by 2045. Many experts believe that hydrogen could be key to decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like cement and steel production, agriculture, and heavy-duty transportation. As California seeks to decarbonize its economy, how can hydrogen help to meet our renewable goals?
