Climate change, fueled by carbon emissions, is wreaking havoc on ecosystems and communities across the globe. It’s a crisis that affects all of us, and we are committed to being a meaningful part of the solution. Today, we reduce emissions by helping our customers switch from oil-based fuels to cleaner-burning natural gas. But, that’s not enough.  Everyone, everywhere deserves access to affordable, 100% green energy. That’s why we formed Zero.

Hydrogen can be integrated into much of our existing infrastructure with little to no modification required; when burned in our turbines, zero-carbon power is produced, with water vapor the only byproduct.  While methods to produce hydrogen have existed for centuries, falling renewable costs and technological advancements are making green hydrogen a viable alternative to fossil fuels.  With our experience in energy infrastructure, logistics and power, we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of this opportunity.  We believe that helping today’s gas users become tomorrow’s hydrogen users will have a tremendous impact for our business, and more importantly, our planet.

Our founder, Wes Edens, has laid out an aggressive zero emission goal for New Fortress Energy.  He sat down to answer some questions about the newest division of NFE, Zero, and why he believes renewable hydrogen is worth pursuing. Read on to learn why we're going from low carbon to no carbon!
