What are the best options to decarbonise energy?

Hosted by Victoria Mustard, Decarbonisation Strategy Lead, Xoserve

Guest Speaker:

• Thomas Baxter, co-founder of the Hydrogen Science Coalition and Senior Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen

Hydrogen, when coupled with CCUS or produced from electrolysis using renewable sources, could provide a carbon neutral alternative to natural gas.

But is this reason enough to select it as the default option to decarbonise our gas grid? According to Thomas Baxter, co-founder of the Hydrogen Science Coalition and Senior Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen, the evidence is lacking.

This episode will cover:

• The key discriminators when selecting the best ways to decarbonise our power system
• Whether using hydrogen to decarbonise the gas grid could be viable, both from a cost and a safety perspective
• Why more evidence might be needed
• What other technologies could contribute to reduce our carbon footprint, and why they might not be receiving the attention they deserve
