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?

Watch this CCST Expert Briefing to learn about the challenges and opportunities of hydrogen, featuring experts from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Stanford University, UC Davis, UC Irvine, and UC Riverside. Held May 25, 2022 in partnership with the Office of Senator Nancy Skinner.
