Hydrogen Research and Development in Texas
Join us and the German Academic Exchange Service for a networking workshop on hydrogen research and development in Texas with Dr. Emily Beagle, a research associate in the Webber Energy Group at The University of Texas at Austin.
Texas currently produces about one third of all hydrogen produced in the US and has extensive existing hydrogen infrastructure in place. Additionally, the state has significant hydrogen production resources, including low-cost renewables and natural gas, and a workforce and industry with relevant expertise. One of the US’s seven regional clean hydrogen hubs was selected to be in the Gulf Coast region of the state. These factors, coupled with other US federal policies supporting clean hydrogen, make Texas an attractive location for developing a hydrogen economy in the United States. This presentation will explore the research and development of hydrogen in Texas with a particular focus on infrastructure development and modeling at the University of Texas at Austin.
The workshop will be held digitally via MS Teams, with a presentation of about 30 minutes plus about 15 minutes of questions and discussion.
Dr. Emily Beagle is a research associate in the Webber Energy Group at The University of Texas at Austin. She currently works on energy policy and pathways to decarbonization of the global energy system with a particular focus on the deployment and use of hydrogen to reduce emissions in the hardest to abate sectors. She is interested in using technical and engineering analysis to inform energy policy development.Dr. Emily Beagle, Research Associate in the Webber Energy Group at The University of Texas at Austin
