The world is searching for alternative sources of energy capable of reducing dependence on fossil fuels and countries that concentrate the lion's share of resources on their territories. It is time to find new ways of providing energy to the population, businesses, and industry that can maintain the balance of utility and safety, especially focusing on energy freedom. Creating and expanding ecosystems of solutions for alternative energy supply is the daily activity of Futurology. Being in the daily search for new solutions for energy sustainability in Europe and the USA, Futurology joined the event dedicated to hydrogen energy, Discover the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Ecosystem, held on June 20-21, 2024, in the USA.
The event became an expert platform for creating and strengthening collaborations between state structures, universities, and representatives of large and small businesses in the field of energy security. Valery Yakovenko, CEO and managing partner of Futurology, shared his current experience in the implementation of alternative sources of energy worldwide.
"The future of energy lies in stability, sustainability, and the latest technologies that the world is seeing for the first time. Today, we were present at events dedicated to hydrogen energy, not only as an addition to natural gas but also as an independent energy carrier. The level of cooperation and mutual desire of representatives of various industries to exchange experience and technologies, as well as the flexibility in a field that is just being created, is impressive. Undoubtedly, this is the way to create new products, scale businesses, and develop the latest power generation systems," - emphasized Valery Yakovenko.
Scientists agree that hydrogen is the most common chemical element, which can become not only a qualitatively better alternative to traditional fuel sources but also significantly reduce the carbon footprint, one of the urgent global problems of humanity. Therefore, the use of hydrogen energy becomes the key to a stable energy situation not only in Ukraine but also throughout the world.
"The directions of the latest hydrogen energy industry will be useful from the point of view of decentralization of power generation, construction of new generation smart systems, and emphasis on future technologies. This is important when we talk about changing and rebuilding the global energy system. Of all possible meetings within the framework of the event, the most impressive are with representatives of the Tri-State Economic Development Office (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware), various organizations, and associations. Especially inspiring were the meetings with established businesses that have achieved significant scale in their more than 10-year history. They started small - a few people who believed in technology, and today they can boast of government contracts and support at the level of defense initiatives and sustainable development," - concluded the managing partner of Futurology.
Today, Futurology continues to search for and explore new technologies for generating and storing electricity. Current meetings, concluded partnerships, and the construction and implementation of plans, which include the research of hydrogen electricity technologies as a possible new direction for strengthening the energy ecosystems of Europe and North America, are among the important directions of the company's activity.
Futurology would like to thank the Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, the New Jersey and Delaware Economic Development Offices, especially the University of Delaware's Science, Technology and Advanced Research Campus (STAR Campus), and DuPont for their invaluable experience and joint expert discussions.
