H2TechTalk

In this episode of H2TechTalk, we chat with Janice Lin, Founder and President of the Green Hydrogen Coalition (GHC), about the GHC's involvement in the Intermountain Power Project in Utah, which will convert Utah's largest coal-fired power plant to 100% H2 fuel by 2045. We also discuss the GHC's new Western Green Hydrogen Initiative to promote green H2 networks in U.S. member states and Canadian member provinces.

In this episode of H2TechTalk, we chat with Elizabeth Carter, Senior Business Manager for Clean Hydrogen Initiative at Honeywell UOP, about methods for emissions reduction from the steam methane reforming process, as well as blue H2 production technology for process decarbonization and clean energy use.

In this episode of H2TechTalk, we speak with Karsten Radtke, Global Head of Business Development and Sales, Digital Products and Asset Management for thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions' Chemical and Process Technologies business unit. Mr. Radtke discusses the transition from the traditional hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) to green fuels production technologies and carbon utilization for improved energy use and a cleaner environment, and how Udhe/thyssenkrupp has helped shape this transition over its 100-year history.

In this episode of H2TechTalk, we chat with Michael Sicker, President of the Oil & Gas Division at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America, about decarbonizing the oil and gas sector and the roles that energy efficiency, carbon capture and hydrogen will play in these efforts and in the ongoing energy transition.

This episode of H2TechTalk is a reading of an article from our Q1 issue of H2Tech (https://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/gulfpub/h2tech_q1_2021/index.php#/p/30), published in March. This article, which focuses on flow measurement challenges for hydrogen fuels, is by Dale Anderson, a Clean Fuels Engineer at TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory (NEL) in Glasgow, Scotland. NEL is the UK's Designated Institute for Flow Measurement.

In this episode of H2TechTalk, we explore the Regional Report on Europe from H2Tech’s Q1 issue, published in March. In line with its net-zero carbon goal, the EU plans to prioritize green H2 production, mainly from wind and solar energy. Over the short- and medium-terms, however, blue H2 will be needed to rapidly reduce emissions from existing gray H2 production and support the parallel and future development of green H2 production. The podcast also includes a discussion of blue and green H2 projects underway at European refineries.

H2Tech sat down with Armin Schnettler, Executive Vice President, New Energy Business, Siemens Energy, to discuss the technologies that are helping decarbonize the oil and gas industry and advance a hydrogen economy.

In this episode of H2TechTalk, we chat with Dr. Kelly Thomas, Vice President and Blast Effects Section Manager for Baker Engineering and Risk Consultants Inc., about the importance of realizing, addressing and managing hydrogen release and explosion risks. Dr. Thomas also discusses how companies new to the hydrogen sector can take a "page" out of oil refiners' and petrochemical producers' playbooks with regard to process safety management practices for hydrogen.

In this episode of H2TechTalk, we chat with Graham Cooley, CEO of ITM Power, about the company's various H2 projects and technologies under development and in deployment. Dr. Cooley discusses the REFHYNE project at Shell's Rheinland oil refinery in Germany; ITM Power's joint venture with Linde to build the world's largest PEM electrolyzer at the Leuna Chemical Complex in Germany; and the company's involvement in the HyDeploy project to inject 20% H2 into the natural gas grid in Keele, UK, among other initiatives.

In this episode of H2TechTalk, we talk with Dr. Lars-Erik Gärtner, Associate Director of Sales and Business Development for CO2 Plants and Clean Technologies at Linde Engineering. Dr. Gärtner provides updates on Linde's focus areas for hydrogen technology and projects, including its joint venture with ITM Power to build the world's largest PEM electrolyzer plant at the Leuna Chemical Complex in Germany.
