UCF - Hydrogen: The Time is Now
In Case You Missed It - Watch Now
Thursday, September, 8 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. ET
UCF Student Union, Cape Florida Ballroom
Decarbonization is one of the most important topics for a sustainable future. As the world continues to move towards a low-carbon economy, with more than 110 countries and 200 of the world’s largest companies pledging to achieve net zero carbon by 2050, hydrogen will play a critical role in the energy transition.
A transition of this size requires collaboration across the government, public and private sectors, academia, NGO s, and communities around the world.
One thing is clear, the energy transition has to be clean, affordable, accessible, and reliable. Join us for this hybrid event as we bring together Central Florida companies and academia to create a path toward a decarbonized future.
