UH Energy recently hosted a timely symposium titled “The Gulf Coast Hydrogen Ecosystem: Opportunities and Solutions,” bringing together experts from industry, academia, government, and the community – including Steven Libbrecht, interim executive director of the Hydrogen Council.

The symposium focused on developing a successful hydrogen ecosystem in the Gulf Coast region by delving into the opportunities and challenges of integrating hydrogen into the energy landscape.

“The energy transition is a complex interdependent challenge,” UH Vice President for Energy and Innovation Ramanan Krishnamoorti said. “Hydrogen is a significant component of the solutions that the energy transition requires. We must find ways to engage in a detailed discussion on all the key challenges and opportunities in driving the use of hydrogen, especially along the Gulf Coast to ensure that we remain the energy capital of the world.”
