  • Summary

  • In recent years, hydrogen has emerged as a promising source of clean energy. Hydrogen, however, is only as green as the energy source used to produce it. Truly carbon-free hydrogen can only be made with renewable electricity, and right now genuinely green hydrogen makes up only a small fraction of overall hydrogen production. So, is hydrogen really the solution to our environmental problems? In this conversation the panel explored whether hydrogen really is the freedom fuel that will propel us to net zero. Chaired by Kamal Ahmed, the panel featured Hydrogen Director of ScottishPower Barry Carruthers, the Guardian’s Environment Correspondent Fiona Harvey, and Professor Nigel Brandon, Chair in Sustainable Development at Imperial College London.  This event, in partnership with Iberdrola, was recorded on March 29 2022, and was produced by Feyi Adegbite with editing by Mark Roberts.  — We’d love to hear your feedback and what you think we should talk about next, who we should have on and what our future debates should be about.
