Leaders in Energy Event on May 29th

"Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Fossil Energy: In Search of the Next Better"
|
|
Wednesday, May 29th; 5:30 - 8:30 PM, Industrious Ballston, 4201 Wilson Boulevard Arlington, VA 22203 - How can we reduce the carbon footprint of fossil energy through carbon capture and renewable hydrogen? Hydrogen and carbon are the building blocks of our hydrocarbon planet. Kicking the fossil carbon habit means developing technologies for a ‘new carbon economy’. Products of this new carbon economy can cover the full array of the things we use every day.
Bill Brandon, the Chief Technology and Research Officer and Vice President for Leaders in Energy (LE) and the President and CEO of Industrial Ecosystems Partners (IEP) will be our moderator and a speaker. This
article by Bill Brandon examines a number of related topics including how Germany is experimenting with producing methane from waste CO2 and H2 produced from excess renewable power capacity (see more on the Shell electrolysis plant in our Bookmarked section). In addition, renewable hydrogen can be combined with waste CO2 to make liquid fuels.

Shell is building, with ITM Power, a new hydrogen electrolysis plant, the largest of its kind in the world. These and other related developments will be discussed at our upcoming May 29th event to ways to reduce the carbon footprint of fossil energy. It is encouraging to see companies like Shell moving in this direction. Check out this related
Houston Chronicle article on how the new Shell president of its North American operations in Houston, Gretchen Watkins, "wants to develop a U.S.-focused plan for how the company will move forward in the energy transition and start putting it into action."
