In this episode of the Stanford Hydrogen Innovators Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Marc Bednarz, an accomplished electrochemist, project developer, and CEO of Cohyba, who has spent over two decades building hydrogen and clean energy technologies across Europe, Asia, and the world. Marc shares a rare inside look at what project development really means for large-scale green hydrogen and Power-to-X projects — from technology selection and bankability to engineering integration, financing, and offtake.

Drawing on his experience leading CWP Global’s Hydrogen & Derivatives team, Marc explains where Europe is making the fastest progress, where bottlenecks remain, and what it will take to accelerate deployment at gigawatt scale.
