About the session

With low carbon change being driven on a number of fronts, the utilisation of new and different fuel and power sources, and keeping carbon emissions tumbling, is vital. Plus, they all present a variety of different challenges and opportunities. For example, will electric vehicles – both battery and potentially hydrogen based – offer a ‘mobile energy grid’ allowing the system operator another tool to balance the grid? What impact will hydrogen have on the existing gas networks? And will gas get another lease of life powering HGVs? This session delves further into the energy transition to examine these questions further.
