H2TechTalk

H2Tech sat down with Thorsten Harder, Product Manager Hydrogen Mobility and Energy, Burckhardt Compression, to discuss the latest advancements in H2 compression technology, the role of compressor systems in H2 mobility and energy applications, challenges associated with high-pressure compression and optimizing this technology.

This episode of H2TechTalk features a discussion with Pavlos Papadopoulos, Market Development Manager, and Gary Wain, Product Marketing Manager, for Parker Hannifin, wherein we discuss filtration and instrumentation solutions that have increasing applications in the hydrogen industry. They also talk about Parker’s work with other companies to convert conventional IC engines for climate-neutral operation and with fuel cell manufacturers for fuel cell vehicles and maritime applications. They also comment on the market dynamics that drive green hydrogen initiative for Parker and in general.

On this week's episode of H2TechTalk, Martin Tengler, Lead Hydrogen Analyst at BloombergNEF, considers future growth prospects for the global low-carbon H2 market, which is anticipated to nearly double in size in 2021 alone. He also discusses the forecast rapid expansion in electrolyzer capacity over the following years, with much of this capacity coming from alkaline electrolyzer makers in China, and how this surge in Chinese manufacturing and surplus electrolyzer capacity will impact the H2 market. Finally, he touches on carbon pricing and how this can support H2 and other renewable energy development.

This week's episode of H2TechTalk is a recording of Dr. Sunita Satyapal, Director of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office at the U.S. Department of Energy, highlighting the DOE's strategy across the H2 value chain, including the H2@Scale initiative, and discussing the significance of the U.S. becoming a major player in the H2 sector at Gulf Energy Information's First Element Conference (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/first-element-conference-on-demand-tickets-170431148152?aff=ebdsoporgprofile). This presentation, along with many others covering the H2 industry, is currently available to view on demand.

H2Tech Digital Editor Anthresia McWashington is sharing some of the top H2 news stories from the month of August on this week's episode of H2TechTalk. From the Port of Corpus Christi announcing its plans to convert a refinery to produce H2, to UNIST researchers in South Korea developing a new technology that converts ammonia to H2, we’re catching up on the most recent H2 technology announcements across the globe.

In this podcast, we discuss Wood's goals for H2 development over the next decade with Josh Carmichael, Vice President of Hydrogen at Wood. We also discuss the advantages of H2 application in different areas—particularly those that are hard to decarbonize—in light of net-zero emissions goals, and what technology and infrastructure developments it will take to get there.

This week on H2TechTalk we are discussing “The Case for Blue Hydrogen,” a position paper published by the UK HFCA with Sam French, Director of Business Development for Johnson Matthey. French also provides insight on blue and green H2 developments and projects within the UK, and next steps in furthering the global deployment of H2.

In this episode of H2TechTalk, we chat with Greg Shumake, the Managing Director of Lummus Technology's Green Circle business unit, about Green Circle's blue H2 technology applications and its plans for meeting global demand for clean H2 over the coming decades.

This episode of H2TechTalk features a discussion with Mrugank Inamdar, Head of Asia and Middle East region, Hyzon Motors, about Hyzon’s innovative techno-economic solutions to accelerate commercial deployment of fuel cell powered vehicles in various medium and heavy-duty mobility applications. We also talk about Hyzon’s plans for developing H2 generation hubs and other R&D projects and collaborations including the partnership with Chart and a joint venture with Raven SR in the U.S.

This episode of H2TechTalk is a reading of an article from our Q2 issue of H2Tech (http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/gulfpub/h2tech_q2_2021/index.php#/p/38), published in May. This article, which focuses on increasing blue H2 production affordability with a proprietary gas POX process, is authored by Nan Liu, Licensing Technology Manager—Gasification at Shell Catalysts and Technologies.
