Hydrogen Emissions and Environmental Impacts Workshop

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO), in collaboration with the European Commission, held the Hydrogen Emissions and Environmental Impacts Workshop on September 16–17, 2024, in Irvine, California.

The objectives of the workshop were to coordinate efforts among international governments, industry, and environmental stakeholders to understand and mitigate potential atmospheric impacts of hydrogen releases; share the latest advances in climate science, modeling and detection, mitigation, and measurement technologies; and identify remaining research and development gaps and priorities for next steps.
