Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

In mid-2022, the International Renewable Energy Agency counted 32 countries that had adopted hydrogen strategies and 11 others that were preparing such plans. If the electricity used to produce the hydrogen and the fuels derived from it comes from renewable sources, these products are considered “green.”

Strickland: So we’ll get into some of these super tech details in a little bit. There’s a few areas like, for example, the power grid, that we have a good understanding of how we can actually decarbonize it. I really enjoyed the conversation. Witte: I think so. Strickland: And that’s a really good place to end.
