"Policymakers and industry leaders need a forum to debate and explore ways to make hydrogen increasingly feasible for use in the energy and transportation markets," said Katrina Fritz, President and Chief Executive Officer of the California Hydrogen Business Council and co-organizer of the CHLS event. "The purpose of the Summit is to develop common understanding of what is needed for hydrogen projects to succeed, develop policy action in support of new decarbonization technologies and programs, and also put large-scale investment measures in place to fund deployment of these climate friendly hydrogen solutions."
The five core interactive modules selected for the 2024 Summit agenda include:
Now in its third year, the annual Summit plays a crucial role in aligning elected officials, public agencies, and corporate leaders with state mandates to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 and deliver 90% clean electricity by 2035. Esteemed speakers at the event include State Sen. Josh Newman, 29th District; State Sen. Anna M. Caballero, 14th District; Assemblymember Juan Carrillo, 39th District; Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris, 73rd District; California State Treasurer Fiona Ma; California Energy Commission Vice Chair Siva Gunda; Alberto Ayala, Executive Director and Air Pollution Control Officer, Sacramento Metropolitan AQMD; Seth Harris, Director of Sustainability, Americas, Emerson; and Mike G. Hart, CEO of Sierra Energy.
Angelina Galiteva, CEO of Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES), the California Hydrogen Hub, will deliver one of the Summit’s keynote remarks outlining how the state initiative is accelerating renewable hydrogen projects. These measures are expected to create more than 20,000 green jobs and generate $2.95 billion per year in economic gains, including significant community healthcare cost savings from pollution reduction.
“California is leading the nation on how hydrogen can become a major economic driver to pave the way for creation of renewable energy, grid resiliency, and green jobs,” said Cliff Gladstein, founding president of GNA, a TRC Company, and co-organizer of the CHLS event. “The Summit serves as a catalyst for assembling this distinguished group of industry experts who are committed to harnessing the power of hydrogen to build a cleaner and more prosperous future."
