    Opening General Session: The Road to a Net-Zero Energy Future will be Paved by Great Innovations
    Implementing a clean and modern energy system is not possible with traditional planning and today’s generation profile. This need to innovate has already spurred the adoption of energy storage and beneficial electrification and many are now considering how and when hydrogen will play a substantial role. In this opening general session, a panel of experts will align today’s interests with a practical vision of how hydrogen can influence our energy system over the next 15 years and beyond.
