WASHINGTON, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) President and CEO Dr. Arshad Mansoor told energy regulators this month that the moment is here for hydrogen to take its place along the path toward economy-wide decarbonization.
In remarks to the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) Winter Policy Summit, Mansoor said, We ve been talking about [hydrogen] for a long time. It s always 10 years away. Even 50 years ago, it was 10 years away.
