ABOUT THE SUMMIT

 

Meet the Policymakers, Developers & End-Users Driving the Deployment of Hydrogen Hubs!

Hydrogen Hub: Building a Financeable Value Chain is the major event where all the communities in the hydrogen hub value chains will come together in one spot to discuss how to launch a new national hydrogen economy. Leaders from transportation, industrial gas distribution, pipeline, carbon-free hydrogen production technology and renewable energy communities—communities that normally don't communicate amongst themselves in the ordinary course of events—will be on hand to share their perspectives on what is needed to form an efficient and effective value chain to commercialize clean hydrogen production and distribution.

No single community will be able to create a viable hydrogen hub project. Only through intense cooperative efforts will this be possible. This means that all the communities in the value chain will need to obtain a detailed understanding of the capabilities, challenges and needs of the other communities in the value chain to enable the industry to move forward.

The goals of the Summit are to provide an opportunity to further profound conversations between various communities in the value chain and to provide a powerful venue where these communities can fully understand how to build links within the value chain that are necessary to make hydrogen hubs a reality. Don't miss this unique forum where each of the communities will discuss their activities in getting prepared to support clean hydrogen production, distribution and end-use; outline the key technical, organizational, economic, and financial challenges they face and then identify the types of relationships with others that need to be established in order for them to truly support their role in the value chain.

The Summit will also provide a rich opportunity for offline discussions, where everyone will have the chance to meet other groups from the value chain and to establish ongoing relationships, and thus serve as a springboard for more profound discussions in the future.

RTO Insider

Website

RTO Insider™ is your eyes and ears on the organized electric markets, putting you “inside the room” at PJM Interconnection, MISO, NYISO, ISO-NE and SPP. We provide independent, objective coverage and analysis of the wholesale electric industry’s markets and policymaking, saving you time and ensuring you don’t miss the issues most important to your interests.

Features include:

  • Coverage of key RTO/ISO committee, subcommittee and task force meetings. We’ll be there when you can’t.
  • Coverage of news events impacting the industry throughout the 35 states managed by the RTOs/ISOs.
  • Coverage of state and federal regulatory (FERC, EPA) & legislative news affecting RTO/ISO stakeholders.
  • Issue Briefs: Concise summaries of major issues (e.g., Order 1000, EPA’s 111(d) rule).

What RTO Insider isn’t: We are not advocates or representatives. You can trust that our coverage will not be slanted to the interests of any member or membership sector.

What RTO Insider is: A source for both the big picture (e.g. analyses of major FERC rulings and RTO stakeholder developments) and the details (why is Manual 28 being changed and what does that mean to me?)
