This 90-minute webinar is eligible in most states for 1.5 CLE credits.
This CLE course will provide energy law attorneys with a detailed analysis of hydrogen applications, usage, and storage. The panel will discuss recent developments in the use of hydrogen for energy generation, policy and emerging frameworks, restrictions on hydrogen production technology and related products, and other key items. The panel will also discuss the development of facilities and projects for hydrogen and related products, as well as key considerations for energy companies, utilities, and investors.
Ms. Dajani is a partner in the Project Development & Finance practice as well as Global Head of Renewables, Global Head of Energy & Infrastructure (Projects) and Head of the Hydrogen and Ammonia Practice (Americas). She focuses on project finance, corporate finance, mergers & acquisitions, sustainable finance, portfolio acquisitions and tax equity matters along with advising government and private clients in energy and infrastructure projects. In her over 20 years of practice, Ms. Dajani has led numerous financing and acquisition/disposition and project development transactions involving solar, wind, hydrogen, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass, waste to energy and net-zero disruptive technologies such as connectivity, autonomous driving and e-mobility as well as gasification, transmission lines, and oil &gas pipelines. She has substantial experience managing syndicated loan and debt capital markets transactions, sustainable finance, ESG, syndicated commercial bank debt, commercial paper programs and arranging capital for new and established energy and infrastructure companies. Ms. Dajani has represented a wide variety of commercial and public institutions, sponsors, utilities, financial institutions, underwriters, energy and clean technology companies, private equity funds, investment banks and multilateral agencies in transactions throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
In addition to wind and solar, hydrogen could play a significant role in decarbonizing fuel sources. As the use of hydrogen as a potential application in certain parts of energy generation and storage evolves, counsel must be aware of the legal issues and current trends for hydrogen as a clean energy source.
Hydrogen made from renewable or low carbon electricity could help decarbonize certain sectors such as heavy-duty transportation and heating. Hydrogen presents opportunities to assist in the power sector by providing energy storage solutions for off-grid electricity and balancing electricity systems.
Although the potential benefits of using hydrogen and related products in energy are attractive, the lack of federal regulations and guidance raise risks for energy companies, utilities, and investors. Energy attorneys must be aware of potential regulatory issues and other legal matters for hydrogen and related product production, application, and usage.
Listen as our panel discusses recent developments in the use of hydrogen for energy generation, policy and emerging frameworks, restrictions on hydrogen production technology and related products, and other key items.
- Hydrogen usage; transportation, power generation, storage
- Hydrogen production tech and restrictions in current energy infrastructure
- Policy and emerging framework
- Development of facilities and projects for hydrogen and related products
- Key considerations for energy companies, utilities, and investors
The panel will review these and other key issues:
- How is hydrogen currently used in the energy sector?
- What are the potential uses of hydrogen in the renewable energy sector?
- What are the legal and commercial challenges for hydrogen usage as a clean energy source?
- What are the current issues for hydrogen production technology in the current energy infrastructure?
- What are the current policy trends and emerging frameworks for hydrogen usage in the U.S. and abroad?
- What are the key considerations for investors and developers for hydrogen-related energy?
