Agenda
CEC staff will present initial findings and perspectives on preliminary analysis of the potential adoption of hydrogen to help decarbonize the electric generation and transportation sectors. Staff
will solicit feedback and identify priority areas of future analyses including in the 2025 IEPR (as required by SB 1075). The morning session will feature a panel of utility, developer, and
environmental representatives who will provide perspectives on hydrogen’s potential in California. The afternoon session will have two panels: one focused on the potential for hydrogen to help
decarbonize California’s power sector and a second on the transportation sector, which will also be followed by a roundtable discussion. Finally, the CEC’s Energy Research and Development Division
will give a presentation on hydrogen-focused research and development (R&D) projects being funded through the Gas R&D, Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC), and Clean Hydrogen programs.
There will be an opportunity for public comment.
