Hydrogen can become a carbon-free version of LNG. Zero-carbon hydrogen can become competitive if we address key issues with its production, storage, transport and use. - @QuentinVaquette, Managing Director, ENGIE Factory Asia Pacific, at #SIEW2018 #hydrogen #cleanenergy @SIEW_sg

Concluding the IEEJ Roundtable, Yukari Yamashita highlights that sharing in the long-term vision is the most important part of the #hydrogen movement. Hydrogen could be a hidden driver for private sector companies to move towards decarbonisation. #SIEW2018
