Episode: Hydrogen - More Hype than Opportunity?
Description: Countries around the world – from oil-producing Gulf Arab states to net-energy importers in South-east Asia – have turned to hydrogen for energy security, environmental, and economic reasons. Hydrogen has been largely seen as a clean fuel with potential to decarbonise sectors such as transportation (shipping and aviation) and industry (e.g., steel and chemicals), keeping global warming in check. But how realistic is hydrogen development? Is the technology commercially viable? Is the infrastructure, both physical and regulatory, in place? The Middle East Institute has organised a webinar to answer these questions and more.
