It’s nearly 20 years since Jeremy Rifkin wrote his bestselling The Hydrogen Economy on his vision for a cleaner, safer, more sustainable world. Since then fossil fuels have reigned almost supreme, challenged only recently by batteries. But could hydrogen still be the answer – for heating, trucking, rail freight, heavy industry and large-scale energy storage? Join us to investigate whether it is in fact the essential connector between renewables and people? And if not, what is?
Editor: Giles Whittell, Editor and Partner, Tortoise
Our invited experts include:
Chris Jackson is the founder and CEO of Protium, a leading developer of green hydrogen and renewable energy infrastructure in the UK. His focus is on helping UK businesses to achieve net zero emissions through using sun, wind and water to displace fossil fuels in industrial heating and the transportation sector.
Dr Angie Needle is Director of Strategy at Cadent Gas and has spent the last 20 years developing company strategies within the water and energy sectors. She recently joined Cadent as Strategy Director, where she is focusing on the approach to delivery of Net Zero, the energy transition and the role that gases such as hydrogen have in the future energy mix.
How does a digital ThinkIn work?
A digital ThinkIn is like a video conference, hosted by a Tortoise editor, that takes place at the advertised time of the event. Digital ThinkIns are new to Tortoise. Now that our newsroom has closed due to the coronavirus outbreak, we feel it’s more important than ever that we ‘get together’ to talk about the world and what’s going on.
The link to join the conversation will be emailed to you after you have registered for your ticket to attend. When you click the link, you enter the digital ThinkIn and can join a live conversation from wherever you are in the world.
Doors open at 07.55am for a welcome and briefing. Come early to get settled, meet the team and chat to other members. ThinkIn starts at 8.00am.
Members can enter their unique members’ access code to book tickets. Find yours in My Tortoise > My Membership in the Tortoise app.
If you have any questions or get stuck, please read our FAQs, or get in touch with us at memberhelp@tortoisemedia.com

What is a Tortoise ThinkIn?
A ThinkIn is not another panel discussion. It is a forum for civilised disagreement. It is a place where everyone has a seat at the (virtual) table. It’s where we get to hear what you think, drawn from your experience, energy and expertise. It is the heart of what we do at Tortoise.
