Much like the 2010’s were the decade of wind and solar, the 2020’s is expected to be the decade of hydrogen technology development and initial large scale deployment.  It is no longer whether or not hydrogen will be a critical part of a sustainable energy system solution, but rather how large of a role hydrogen will play in a clean, sustainable energy system for the planet.  <br/> <br/>This presentation will highlight the role of hydrogen in a clean energy system and its role as a unique and critical element enabling greater renewable energy use while also performing end use applications to be performed cleaner and more efficiently, also referred to as the H2@Scale vision.  This vision is being made economically more viable by shifting cost structures and environmental driving forces and these will be discussed as well.  One of the primary challenges for hydrogen has always been getting to scale which can enable economic parity/viability.  The challenges in getting to a Gigaton scale will be presented.  Also presented will be the initial efforts of H2NEW (Hydrogen from Next-generation Electrolyzers of Water), a Department of Energy (DOE)-consortium focused on the efforts to enable $2/kg hydrogen production by 2025 on the pathway to reaching the Hydrogen Shot target of $1/kg by 2031.  As well as a discussion of other efforts underway to enable the H2@Scale vision.
