Hydrogen Economy: Jared Moore Ph.D.

The Energy Talk - Storytellers of Africa's Energy Transition

Hydrogen's role in the energy transition has gained popularity as new use cases (and markets) open up, but concerns around distribution and storage have affected its real-world applications.

Jared Moore joins us this week to discuss the potential for the hydrogen economy and the challenges it faces.

Hydrogen is an energy carrier, not an energy source, and can deliver or store a tremendous amount of energy. Hydrogen can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity, or power, and heat.
