In this mini-series, Hydrogen Economist takes a deep dive into the global H₂ value chain. Part 1 provides a forecast of global H₂ demand, as well as capital spending and active project developments.

In this episode, we dive into Plug Power's ambitious plans to revolutionize the H₂ economy with the help of a $1.66-B loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy. Learn how the company's green H₂ plant in Graham, Texas, integrates cutting-edge technologies and an adjacent wind farm to push forward zero- and low-carbon H₂ production.

We explore the challenges and opportunities in scaling these projects nationwide, the significance of the $30-MM tax credit transfer, and how key policies like the Inflation Reduction Act and Section 45V production tax credits are shaping the growth of both Plug Power and the green energy sector. Tune in to hear how these initiatives are paving the way for a cleaner, sustainable future.

In this episode, we explore the dynamic energy landscape with industry experts from Hyvolution in Paris, France. First, Christophe from Doris discusses the company’s evolution from oil and gas to embracing offshore wind, H₂ and carbon capture technologies. He explains how their extensive experience in energy engineering allows them to offer expertise across diverse energy sectors, providing valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities within the H₂ and renewables industries.

Next, Patrick Grossklaug from Draeger shares his insights into the cutting-edge safety technologies for H₂, focusing on advanced leak detection systems and fire safety protocols. From electrochemical detection to ultrasonic sensors and flame detection, Patrick highlights how these innovations are crucial to ensuring safety in the H₂ sector.

Tune in to learn about the intersection of traditional energy competencies with the growing world of clean energy technologies, and the pivotal role safety plays in the future of H₂.

In this episode, H₂Tech sat down with Chris Brennan, co-founder of EH Group, at the Hyvolution Conference in Paris. Brennan shares insights into the company's journey, their breakthrough H₂ stack technology, and how they are making significant strides towards cost-effective, efficient fuel cell solutions. Learn how EH Group is targeting industries like marine, data centers and microgrids, and why their unique manufacturing process is setting them apart.

Continuing with Gulf Energy Information's Women in Leadership series, we welcome Carol Lloyd, Vice President, Planning and Stewardship, ExxonMobil. In this episode, Ms. Lloyd discusses various aspects of her respected career, including mentorship, building a professional network, increasing credibility and influence within an organization, and other aspects of being a leader in the energy industry.

In this episode, H₂Tech sat down with Michael Huss, Business Development Manager for Hydrogen, Cryostar at Hyvolution in Paris, France. The conversation covered Cryostar's cryogenic pumps for liquid H₂, H₂ mobility and green/pink H₂ in Europe.

While existing regulations require that materials, components and systems must be safe for their intended use, framework regulations typically do not define how that can be proved. To address this dichotomy, there are many influencing factors that must be respected when determining a reasonable test procedure to prove safety. This episode dives into these factors.

In this episode, adapted from the Gulf Energy Information webcast, the editors of World Oil, Petroleum Economist, Pipeline & Gas Journal, Hydrogen Economist and Hydrocarbon Processing discuss how Trump's incoming administration will shape global energy markets and the effects of future policy and regulations. Key topics include regulatory changes, adjustments in subsidies and taxes, and potential impacts on the oil, gas and renewable energy sectors worldwide.

In this episode, we welcome Pedram Fanailoo, Director for the Low Carbon Segment - North America at DNV, to discuss the future of H₂ in the energy transition. Pedram shares insights about DNV's role in supporting companies with sustainable H₂ solutions and how their expertise in risk management ensures the development of high-quality projects.

We explore the evolving green and blue H₂ sectors, strategies for de-risking projects, and securing funding amidst changing regulations. Pedram also breaks down the impact of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) on H₂ investments and anticipates potential shifts in federal support under a Trump administration. Don't miss this in-depth conversation on the key factors shaping the H₂ industry and what stakeholders can do to prepare for the road ahead.

In this episode, Gaby Rodríguez-Calero, co-founder and CEO of Ecolectro, discussed how the company is revolutionizing green H₂ production to make it affordable and scalable. She explains the significance of Ecolectro's AEM electrolyzer technology and the shift from expensive iridium to cost-effective nickel, a breakthrough protected by 23 patents.

Gaby highlighted the impact of reducing H₂ production costs to $2.50/kg and its potential to accelerate global adoption in key industries like transportation, energy storage and heating. She also shares insights on overcoming technical challenges, scaling production to meet demand, and the role of Ecolectro’s recent Series A funding led by Toyota Ventures in driving innovation.
