SUMMARY:Shoring up Demand for Clean Hydrogen
DESCRIPTION:Hydrogen\, like many other clean energy markets\, faces a supply-demand stalemate. High costs and uncertain supply scare away buyers. Producers struggle to obtain financing as a result. And stalled out development means that costs remain high\, supply remains uncertain and markets don’t mature. Governments and private actors have long recognized this issue and are standing up programs aimed at tackling them\, such as the DOE’s $8B investment into clean hydrogen hubs and demand side assistance. \nCome hear from experts across the hydrogen spectrum to explore: \n\nHow are public and private actors shoring up demand for clean hydrogen?\nWhat are the implications for the clean energy transision more broadly of a clean hydrogen economy?\nWhat are the priorities in 2025 to keep clean hydrogen on track for industry scale up?\n\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nColleen Moss\nManaging Director of Industrial Policy and Advocacy\, ClearPath \n\n\n \nAlex Kizer\nSVP and COO\, EFI Foundation \n\n\n \nSusana Moreira\nExecutive Director and Co-Chair\, H2Global Foundation

SUMMARY:Sourcing the Pieces for the T&D Puzzle
DESCRIPTION:Where will the components we need to maintain\, repair\, and build out our transmission and distribution systems come from- and will we have enough to keep the lights on and make progress on clean energy deployment? Although a robust and resilient grid is critical for maintaining a thriving energy sector\, it has often been taken for granted\, and its maintenance and repair has often been deferred. At the same time as the United States returns to a period of substantial demand growth\, we are also facing substantial grid replacement and upgrades needs to replace aging infrastructure and harden transmission and distribution against increasingly frequent and severe climate risks. Supply chain constraints have been a choke point for deploying new transmission & distribution\, and for repairing or replacing existing systems. \nJoin this session to explore: \n\nWhat is behind these bottlenecks? Supply chain delays\, market volatility for raw materials\, limited and highly concentrated US supplier capacity\, labor availability\, limited investment in production capacity\, or all of the above?\nWhat steps are the DOE\, utilities and other private sector leaders taking to address these challenges?\nWhat is it going to take to fully unlock grid supply chains?\n\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nTricia Breeger\nPresident & CEO\, Mitsubishi Electric Power Products\, Inc. \n\n\n \nJustin Badlam\nSenior Advisor for Strategy and Industrial Policy\, Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains\, U.S. Department of Energy \n\n\n \nStephanie Crawford\nRegulatory Affairs Director\, National Rural Electric Cooperative Association \n\n\n\n\n \nDr. Karen Wayland\nCEO\, GridWise Alliance \n\n\n \nMichael Skelly\nFounder and CEO\, Grid United

SUMMARY:Non-Dilutive DOE Capital as a Catalyst for Scale
DESCRIPTION:For decades DOE has been using its expertise and capital to de-risk the technical barriers of clean energy and other decarbonization projects. The injection of Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) capital is enabling DOE now to play a leading role in de-risking the market barriers needed for these technologies to first achieve commercialization\, and then achieve competitive scale. \nJoin this session to learn about: \n\nWhat is the role of DOE grant capital as a de-risking mechanism in scaling tech across the technology readiness level (TRL) spectrum?\nHow does DOE capital work alongside private sector investments to demonstrate and deploy energy technologies?\nWhat are real examples of projects that have been technologically de-risked to make it to the deployment stage?\n\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nMaressa Brennan\nPortfolio Strategy\, Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations\, U.S. Department of Energy \n\n\n \nLeah Ellis\nCEO and Co-founder\, Sublime Systems \n\n\n \nKelly Cummins\nActing Director\, Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations\, U.S. Department of Energy \n\n\n\n\n \nJeff Marootian\nPrincipal Deputy Assistant Secretary\, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy\, U.S. Department of Energy
