The Hydrogen Podcast

• No More Talk On The Future Of Hydrogen, Let’s Focus On What Works NOW!

  Tired of the hydrogen hype? So are we. In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, recorded after World Hydrogen North America, we’re putting the spotlight back on what’s feasible now—not what might work in 10 years.🎯 Main Focus: Let’s stop talking about hydrogen’s future. Let’s start using what works today.🔥 What’s Inside This Episode:🧪 1. Most Practical Hydrogen Production: SMR + CCSEfficient & scalable at 65-75%Produces hydrogen at $1.50–$2/kg (before credits)Near-zero NOx, SOx, and PM2.5 emissions$60–$70M profit for a 100-MW plant with 20,000 tons/year🛢️ 2. Storage That Works: TOL/MCH (LOHC)6.2 wt% H2 stored safely in liquid formNo need for cryogenics or compression$150–$200M for a 10,000-ton systemPerfect for regions without salt caverns or H2 pipelines🏭 3. Real-World Use Cases: Steel & AmmoniaSteel: Hydrogen DRI replaces coal, slashing CO2 by 90%Ammonia: 13M tons annually in U.S.—ready for blue hydrogen nowMarine fuel potential: zero NOx/SOx, 5M tons reduction possibleThese applications are already operating or in pilots📊 Feasible, Profitable, Scalable$6–$7B investment yields $800M in profits5,000 new jobs8M tons of emissions eliminated annuallyPotential to capture 60% of the $500B hydrogen market by 2030🧠 Why It Matters: While some push photocatalysis and gigawatt electrolysis, we need to scale what’s viable today: ✅ Blue Hydrogen ✅ LOHCs ✅ Steel & AmmoniaDon't let perfect be the enemy of progress.💬 “Let’s keep researching—but let’s deploy the tech that works now.” If you’re serious about building a real hydrogen economy, this episode is for you.📩 Got thoughts?

• DOE Hydrogen Shake-Up: Why Natural Gas-Based Hubs Are Critical for U.S. Energy Security & Health

  In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we break down a high-stakes development in U.S. hydrogen policy:📰 Politico reports the Department of Energy may cut funding for 4 of 7 hydrogen hubs—mostly in blue states—while preserving hubs in red states like Texas and Louisiana. The move sparks bipartisan concern but could reshape the U.S. hydrogen strategy around blue hydrogen from natural gas.We cover three crucial angles:💥 1. Why Blue Hydrogen is the Right Market Builder ✅ Uses existing infrastructure & natural gas reserves ✅ Costs just $1.50–$2.00/kg vs. $3–$4/kg for green hydrogen ✅ Displaces diesel emissions that cause 30,000 premature deaths/year ✅ Cuts harmful NOx, SOx, and PM2.5 particulates ✅ SMR + CCS = 1–2 kg CO2e/kg H₂ (vs. 10 kg for gray hydrogen)📈 2. The Economic Upside ✅ $100–$150 million in profit per 200,000 tons/year ✅ $6.5–$13 billion saved in health costs ✅ 140,000+ jobs projected by 2030 ✅ 25% IRR with 45Q and 45V tax credits ✅ Exports to Europe could rival LNG revenue🛡️ 3. Boosting U.S. Energy Security ✅ Cuts diesel imports by 130 million gallons/year ✅ Strengthens grid resilience with hydrogen pipelines + salt cavern storage ✅ Protects critical infrastructure from particulate corrosion ✅ Reduces fertilizer import dependence via ammonia integrationThis isn't just about emissions—it's about economic strength, public health, and national security. Tune in for the full breakdown of what this shift means for the future of hydrogen in America.📩 Questions?
