In this episode, H₂Tech speaks with Joris Mertens, a Principal Consultant at KBC (A Yokogawa Company) and Thomas Brew, a Senior Engineer at KBC, about gray H₂ production, steam methane reforming and pre/post-combustion carbon capture.

Throughout 2021, renewable energy capacity additions in the U.S.—led by solar power, with the increasing growth of wind and hydropower generation—reached record highs. Building on these trends, U.S. federal estimates forecast that renewable energy will provide 75% of U.S. electricity by 2035 and 90% by 2050.

As a sector that has come of age in the digital era, the new H₂ economy will naturally depend on advanced technologies—including data, advanced analytics and artificial intelligence—to achieve the scale necessary for an actual transformative effect. This episode will focus on technological advancements that are making the most of the H₂ transformation.

In this episode, H2Tech speaks with Jason Goodhand, Global Energy Storage Leader for DNV, about engineering and advising hydrogen (H₂) projects. The conversation touches on DNV’s energy transition outlook, blending H₂ into the energy mix and replacing carbon-based fuels.

CCUS reduces emissions from oil and gas and industrial processes and is the key to allowing blue H₂ to be blue. It is the only method to capture and permanently store the carbon emissions produced when natural gas is converted to H₂. 

Successfully scaling up production across the H₂ value chain will require commitment from H₂ providers and consumers alike. This episode addresses five critical actions that H₂ providers, particularly OEMs, must take for decarbonization through green H₂ to become a reality. 

In this episode, H₂Tech speaks with Mehdy Touil, LNG Operations Specialist & Design SME for Capstone Industrial Training Solutions, about the feasibility of hydrogen replacing natural gas as an energy source. The discussion touches on liquified natural gas infrastructure being repurposed for hydrogen, liquid hydrogen shipping and hydrogen-fueled gas turbines for power generation.

Due to India's size, population and social fabric, the country predicts an additional 20 years will be needed to achieve net-zero emissions targets, compared to the 2050 goal of most other countries. This episode of H2TechTalk explores the challenges India will face on the road to carbon neutrality.

While CO₂ compression has been successfully undertaken for many years, the scale-up required for carbon separation and sequestration in a decarbonized H₂ scenario would challenge even technologies now considered state-of-the-art. Because of this, a need exists for new CO₂ compression applications for separation, transport and storage injection.
