Most of the hydrogen available today is produced using energy from hydrocarbons, particularly natural gas. Hydrogen produced in this way is known as “grey” hydrogen. While this process generates significant carbon emissions, it can be made almost emission-free by using carbon capture and storage to store any carbon emissions that are produced safely back underground. The product is then known as “blue” hydrogen.

"The time to act on green hydrogen is now, there is a pathway, the solutions are here, and green hydrogen is a gamechanger to decarbonize multiple sectors,” says Janice Lin, Founder and President of the Green Hydrogen Coalition (GHC). Ms. Lin believes green hydrogen will play a major role in multi-sectoral decarbonization and will be a significant source of job creation and economic development. She believes that we can take advantage of our abundant renewables resources to create electrolytic hydrogen.

Martin Wolf began looking at the use of biobased materials. He was able to build on the work of bold surfactant manufacturers like Clariant, Croda, Solvay BASF, and others – all of whom offered biobased alternatives to petrochemicals at the time. Issues faced by Seventh Generation, and other companies with biobased equivalents of petrochemical products including cost, supply chain, and unsustainable agricultural practices.

Kelly Sarber, CEO, Strategic Management Group joins CZW Social Enviro RoundTable to discuss the fast-growing segment of energy storage and Public Private Partnerships key in generating revenues and green energy value. Sarber provides a guidebook to attracting strong partners.

Join CZW's discussion with Chris Castro, Orlando's journey towards sustainability and resilience and an inside look at Zero Waste initiatives, and Chris reveals the city's secret sauce to accelerating circularity and economic growth.

As manufacturers in the United States make commitments to climate change and reducing their carbon footprint, it turns out that waste offers a transformative way for them to accomplish company goals says John Hanselman Co-founder, Chairman and CEO of Vanguard Renewables.

Geoffrey Cottrell, Senior Project Manager Sims Lifecycle Services (SLS) will address problem solving strategies for the e-waste sector at Companies For Zero Waste's Virtual Round Table on February 11th and discuss how SLS is providing solutions to extend the life of IT and electronic devices, and discuss how SLS recognizes the value in end-of-life electronic assets, components and materials.

“Investing in profitable solutions is fundamental to building a circular and sustainable economy,” says Daniel Robin, founder and managing part of In3 Capital Group, “and the need for zero waste and nature-inspired strategies has never been more pressing.”

Deborah explains how circularity can be a strategy for supply chain to mitigate against that risk, “Supply chains can actually change their own operating model in a way that allows them to save money and be more proactive and be a better partner for their organization by adopting circular operating principles without interrupting whatever core business it is that they are supporting.”
