Formic Acid as a Net Zero Hydrogen Carrier with Dr. Kuo-Wei Huang of KAUST - #FII6 - Day 2
FUTURE FLASH: FORMIC ACID AS THE ENERGY CARRIER FOR THE LOW CARBON ECONOMY I Future Investment Initiative 6th Edition
To reduce the environmental footprint of modern societies and address the limitations of fossil resources, the projected increase in global energy demand must go along with the large-scale implementation of low-carbon energy production and carrier systems, because of varied availability and intermittency of local renewable resources. Hydrogen (H2) is often considered the most promising clean energy carrier – but its full nature and inherent risks must yet be fully assessed. In his keynote, Dr. Huang discusses and compares future H2 carrier options in the context of the current energy landscape, and concludes by introducing R&D efforts in using formic acid as a net zero hydrogen carrier.
