West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania are independently racing to secure federal funding for a blue hydrogen and carbon capture hub, an industry boondoggle that stands to prolong the failing fracking economy, further ravage frontline communities, and cost ratepayers (or taxpayers) billions. Government leaders are eager to draw hub funding within their respective state lines, but industry is increasingly pushing for Ohio Valley states to merge their applications.

It’s a story that’s already playing out in the Gulf South, where states are rushing to build a hydrogen hub of their own.

Critical to the rapid development of a hydrogen and carbon capture hub is infrastructure for carbon storage. Hub developers are sketching out an entire fleet of Class VI injection wells to store captured carbon underground, but before breaking ground, their permits must be approved by relevant regulatory bodies. The problem? The authority to permit Class VI wells is currently held by the federal EPA, which, in some cases, has considered Class VI well permit applications for up to six years before granting approval. That’s too slow to build hydrogen hubs. To accelerate the permitting process, states are applying for primacy—primary authority that supersedes the federal EPA’s—over Class VI well permitting.

This panel discussion sheds light on Class VI injection wells and the accelerating race for primacy in the Gulf South and Ohio River Valley. Experts from both regions will explain the threats posed by carbon capture development, the regulatory frameworks that have enabled it, and strategies on how to organize against it.

Panelists:
-Monique Harden, Deep South Center for Environmental Justice
-James Yskamp, Earthjustice

Deep-Dive on Star Scientific’s HERO technology

Andrew Horvath
Global Group Chairman
Star Scientific Limited

Hydrogen has been used for several decades by industrial companies because of its great convenience as fuel stock with regards to storage and transport. And thanks to continued decreasing cost of renewables, the potential for green hydrogen is now growing exponentially and opening new avenues of use for hydrogen.
The success of green hydrogen will be linked to its production cost and Africa is ideally positioned to play a major role in this global industry as the continent enjoys some of the best renewable energy resources in the world.
But other factors may still prove challenging and could limit the extent to which Africa will benefit from this nascent industry.
In this e-conference we will learn from the best experts in the industry about the potential of green hydrogen for economic growth in Africa.

During this virtual event we will address the following:
• Specifying the fundamentals of green hydrogen and its advantages for the global economy
• Identifying the potential for green hydrogen production on the African continent
• Addressing the status of development of the green hydrogen ecosystem globally and in Africa
• Highlighting key success factors for rapid development and growth of a green hydrogen ecosystem in Africa
• Discussing current challenges faced by African countries to embark in green hydrogen production and proposing mitigation strategies
• Highlighting the role and impact green hydrogen can have on African nations
• Identifying the role of the solar industry in building a strong green hydrogen industry in Africa

The role of policy and regulation in scaling up hydrogen

Paul Bogers, Vice-President of Hydrogen, at Shell, discusses the role policy and regulation plays, and will play, when scaling up and advancing hydrogen, on H2 View’s, In Conversation with Shell webinar.

As one of the world’s largest energy companies, and one of the most active proponents in building a global hydrogen economy, Shell is active in global hydrogen refuelling developments and supporting initiatives to expand and accelerate the distribution and adoption of hydrogen technologies.

In Conversation With H2 View, Shell will share its perspective on the big successes in hydrogen in 2022 and what this means for 2023; how these individual ‘wins’ coalesce to ladder up to the progression of the hydrogen economy as a whole; what the key hurdles are to overcome; and a broader view on what to expect in the year ahead.

(First broadcast in December 2022)
