Advances in production and storage of hydrogen (AIChE-NED)
Hydrogen has the potential to play a major role in future energy systems. When produced from water, hydrogen provides an energy source that is abundant, sustainable, and environmentally acceptable. This session will examine two of the major technical challenges to a hydrogen-based energy system: large-scale hydrogen production and compact, cost-effective hydrogen storage.
