Southern Company announced Wednesday that it was furthering its goal of net zero operations by joining the Hydrogen Council.
The Hydrogen Council is a CEO-led coalition that believes hydrogen will play a key role in global decarbonization goals by helping to diversify energy sources, as well as foster business and technological innovation. Its members include 134 companies worldwide, including utilities, chemical producers, energy companies, engineers, automotive companies, and investors.
“Southern Company is embracing the role of hydrogen as a potentially powerful solution to holistically serve the needs of customers while providing a resilient energy system and driving growth in a decarbonized energy economy,” said Chris Cummiskey, executive vice president and chief commercial and customer solutions officer for Southern Company. “We look forward to engaging with the Hydrogen Council to explore the opportunities for hydrogen to simultaneously serve customers and deeply decarbonize Southern Company system operations.”
Southern Company said its research and development (R&D) organization is actively engaged, both domestically and internationally, in projects focused on low-carbon production, power generation, and energy storage.
“Southern Company’s R&D strategy continues to hold decarbonization as a primary focus,” said Dr. Mark S. Berry, Southern Company vice president of R&D. “We believe there is a compelling opportunity for hydrogen technology to deliver a sustainable energy future. Our membership in the Hydrogen Council offers a new avenue to advancing innovative energy solutions that provide clean, safe, reliable, and affordable energy.”
