The conference news feed carried an item on hydrogen innovation aimed at producing protein with the quality of beef without raising cattle. The story sits at the intersection of energy, biotechnology and food.
Hydrogen can serve as an energy source and a feedstock for microorganisms in fermentation processes. That makes it relevant to food security, land use and the carbon intensity of agriculture, not only to power generation.
The item was a useful reminder that the hydrogen economy is broader than the electricity system. Conference topics included hydrogen as a feedstock and sectoral applications for exactly this reason.
