Electrification
Arshad Mansoor is the CEO of EPRI. Drew Marsh is the CEO of Entergy. Richard McMahon is SVP Energy Supply and Finance at EEI. Yoshiki Onoi is EVP at J-POWER. Daniel Teichmann is the CEO of Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies.
This panel at the Edison Electric Institute's 7th Annual Global Electrification Forum, entitled Enabling Hydrogen for the Clean Energy Future, brought together distinguished speakers to discuss this important enabling technology in the race to net zero. Getting to decarbonization goals with hydrogen use is obtainable, but achieving the last twenty percent would need new technologies.
Excerpted here are remarks by EPRI CEO Arshad Mansoor, Entergy CEO Drew Marsh, J-POWER EVP Yoshiki Onoi, Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies CEO Daniel Teichmann, and moderated by EEI SVP Energy Supply and Finance Richard McMahon.
Moderator and EEI SVP Energy Supply and Finance Richard McMahon: There're so many jurisdictional issues and questions because we're talking about other countries and so on. Arshad, EPRI is a global organization, and you have regulators who sit on your board. From the U.S. perspective, what is needed to make hydrogen a utility investible, to convince regulators it isn't an experiment, but something that can be put into rate base?
EPRI CEO Arshad Mansoor: We focus on technology, but talking the truth about power to people in power is a big part of EPRI. NARUC, which is the U.S. regulatory association, with EEI created EPRI fifty years ago after the 1965 New York blackout. We are very much engaged with regulators who are on our advisory council.
