University of Alaska Fairbanks
A workshop on geological hydrogen, hosted by the US Arctic Research Commission and the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, will be held October 29-31, 2024, at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, in Fairbanks, AK.
The goal of the first two days of the workshop is to discuss current research on geological hydrogen and to determine what is needed to develop a sustainable research effort to assess Alaska's geological hydrogen potential. On the third day, discussions will focus on the utility, economics, storage and transportation of hydrogen, as well as the policy and regulation needed for research, exploration, and development.
Participants
We anticipate upwards of 100 participants, including international experts on geologic hydrogen and Alaska geology, and representatives from private industry, Alaska Native Organizations, and government representatives, including regulatory and resource management agencies and legislators.
Confirmed speakers include representatives from the University of Alaska, the US Geological Survey, the Department of Energy (National Laboratories, Arctic Energy Office, and ARPA-E), the University of Texas at Austin Bureau of Economic Geology, Cornell University, Alaska Department of Natural Resources Geological & Geophysical Surveys, the Finnish Geological Survey, and other domestic and international government, industry, and business leaders.
During the workshop, all attendees will actively discuss current research and exploration efforts and what it would take to develop a sustainable research effort to assess Alaska's geological hydrogen potential. Come prepared to ask questions and to share your opinions and resources that could be useful in developing geologic hydrogen.
