California Hydrogen Leadership Summit

Congratulations to the ARCHES H2 team on this exciting announcement! 

At the recent California Hydrogen Leadership Summit in Sacramento, we discussed the future of hydrogen in achieving California's emissions goals. Chevron is investing in hydrogen technology and infrastructure to support sectors where electrification is challenging. We advocate for flexible, technology-neutral policies and support carbon pricing to reduce emissions. Thanks to all summit participants for driving change towards a lower carbon future. #HydrogenLeadership #EnergyTransition #RenewableTransportation

Reflecting on the California #Hydrogen Leadership Summit this week in Sacramento, I want to thank all the organizers and participants, particularly CHBC President and CEO Katrina Fritz, for creating an informative and engaging program and including a representative cross section of the #cleanhydrogen economy, including producers, technology providers, policymakers, labor, environmental NGOs, and tribal representatives. Thank you all for making #CHLS 2024 a resounding success!! Thank you to Rajinder Sahota, Deputy Executive Officer for Climate Change and Research at the California Air Resources Board for highlighting the role of hydrogen in the California 2022 Scoping Plan Update, including the need for a 1700x increase in hydrogen supply to meet achieve #carbonneutrality. #Cleanhydrogen end uses in CA's Climate Plan include blending in pipelines, aviation fuel, ocean-going vessels, industrial high heat uses, and transportation fueling. Success depends on action! And the #ARCHES panel and keynote from ARCHES CEO Angelina Galiteva highlighted the transformational impact on the climate and the economy and the community of the $1.2 Billion awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as part of the #H2Hubs and the billions in matching funds from companies. Collaboration and pragmatic optimism were key themes of the conference and will enable our #cleanhydrogenfuture.

Last week I had the opportunity to present some of RMI’s leading analysis and progress on low-emissions hydrogen at the California Hydrogen Leadership Summit in Sacramento. It was an honor to join policy and industry leaders at the panel moderated by Heather Rangel of Deloitte to discuss environmental attributes and potential benefits associated with #cleanhydrogen if we produce and deliver it in a responsible way. Equally important is the discussion around what role should different stakeholder groups must play in ensuring that hydrogen is developed in a manner that is equitable and responsible for frontline communities. I'm proud to note that RMI was a key contributor to the "Joint Agreement on the Responsible Deployment of Renewables Based Hydrogen" launched at COP28 and co-developed by members of the Green Hydrogen Catapult and Green Hydrogen Organisation - GH2 in close collaboration with the High-Level Climate Champions. Keeping community benefits centered in the emerging hydrogen economy will continue to be a priority of RMI and our partner organizations for years to come! #EJ #communityengagement #hydrogen #cleanenergy #justtransition

So many incredible women leaders came together with 550 attendees at last week's California Hydrogen Leadership Summit to envision and build the #decarbonized #hydrogen future with us. I'm so grateful for your expertise, resilience, and our relationships.

I had the pleasure of speaking on behalf of Emerson and our local Impact Partner, Caltrol Inc. , at the California Hydrogen Business Council Leadership Summit this week. Such a great event with focused expertise, great representation across the landscape of required parties including government, industry and technology in an environment of pragmatic optimism. Congratulations to Katrina Fritz and the rest of the team for another successful couple of days!!! I look forward to our ongoing partnership and engagement, and for next years event!

This week. I was at the California Hydrogen Leadership Summit 2024 in Sacramento. Picture is state capital. Here's what it is 👇 The summit explores the critical role of hydrogen in meeting the state's decarbonization and air quality goals. Leaders from energy, transportation, academia, and government come together to discuss policies, programs, and incentives needed to accelerate hydrogen production, use, and storage. Engage in policy discussions and gain insights on: ➡️Why hydrogen is crucial in the fight against climate change ➡️How can renewable hydrogen be a pillar of the state's environmental and economic development strategy? ➡️Policies to accelerate renewable hydrogen production and use while decreasing costs ➡️Addressing reliability and resilience concerns across California's power systems ➡️Harnessing hydrogen hubs for "hard to decarbonize" industrial clusters ➡️Fuel cell electric vehicles' role in meeting zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) goals and decarbonizing transportation ➡️The hydrogen infrastructure needed to support California's ZEV sector ➡️Hydrogen's benefits for environmental justice and disadvantaged communities I learned a lot from the summit.

I am so lucky to work with these amazing and brilliant women every day, and to meet up in person at the California Hydrogen Leadership Summit, put on by the California Hydrogen Business Council! Thank you for making this work fun! Moriah Saldaña Lily Backer Sarah Taheri Megan Silva

Excellent event and high-quality discussions. Was equally impressed with the number of people attending (700?) and policymakers who came to share their perspectives on #hydrogen. Kudos to Katrina Fritz and the rest of the California Hydrogen Business Council team for organizing such an impressive event!

#Cleanhydrogen has a critical role to play in the overall #decarbonization of the economy, complementing the greening of the electric grid, powered by renewable resources. Incorporating and incentivizing #circularity into our energy economy will mean scaling #wastetocleanfuels projects and technologies. The packed house at the California Hydrogen Leadership Summit in Sacramento heard from a wide range of leaders, highlighting the importance of bringing together community, labor, government and industry in building a #climateeconomy that benefits all - win/win/win. The sharp insights offered were clearly informed by the real world projects and programs that are already delivering results. Two great panels dove deep into the details California's #hydrogenhub - Tyson Eckerle Angelina Galiteva Joy Langford Joe Sullivan Katrina Fritz - and tackling and fixing building #permitting and approvals - Jason Caudle Jason Rizzi, CFM, CFPS Dan McGill Don Boyajian Julia Levin Getting it done in California!
