Proposal: Carbon Reduction Timeline via Hydrogen Convergence
After reading yesterday’s blog segment on meeting the world’s carbon reduction targets, many of you will ask what the hydrogen convergence timeline looks like. This is important because it is difficult to agree on an investment roadmap without a consensus on when the necessary components must be available. We at the ebTDesign Forum propose the following:
- Hydrogen Convergence Innovation-Infrastructure available by 2012
- Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles rollout in 2015
- Peak Carbon achieved because of hydrogen convergence by 2020
- 80% Carbon Reduction via hydrogen convergence by 2050
We at the ebTDesign Forum look forward to hearing your comments on this proposed hydrogen convergence timeline. Does it meet your expectations? Should it be adjusted based the fact that some of the research has shown that climate change is accelerating. You can leave a message on twitter at @zalexander and on Facebook at “Let’s Talk Hydrogen Convergence.”
