Hydrogen Economist Podcast

In this episode, Hydrogen Economist's sister title H2Tech explores the cutting edge of green H2 technology with two major players in the space: Ohmium and Vallourec. We begin with Ohmium, whose hyper-modular PEM electrolyzers are redefining installation scalability and cost-efficiency. We discuss how the Lotus Mark 2 electrolyzer, with its dynamic ramping capabilities, enhances integration with intermittent renewable energy sources, ensuring higher system efficiency and production reliability. Then we spoke with Vallourec regarding how they are tackling the complex challenges of H2 storage and transport with premium tubing solutions and robust testing protocols to mitigate risks like H2 embrittlement. We also spotlight Vallourec’s material innovation and collaborations that drive H2 projects forward globally.

In this episode, recorded live at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, Hydrogen Economist's sister title H2Tech explores the forefront of H2 technology with key industry players. The discussion highlights Aerzen’s diverse portfolio of compressors tailored for H2 production and transportation, including both oil-free and oil-flooded models. FEV Consulting shares its strategic services supporting the advancement of sustainable fuels and the development of integrated energy ecosystems. Additionally, Neuman & Esser presents its expertise in proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers and complementary compressor solutions, emphasizing the synergy between these critical technologies.

Petroleum Economist talked to Dr Ian Palmer, solar space scientist turned oilfield engineer, about his book How Oil and Gas Companies are Pivoting Toward Climate Change, covering carbon capture, net-zero targets, batteries and the future of fossil fuels.

In this episode, Hydrogen Economist speaks with Andy Marsh, CEO, Plug Power. We dive into Plug Power's ambitious plans to revolutionize the H2 economy with the help of a $1.66-B loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy. Learn how the company's green H2 plant in Graham, Texas, integrates cutting-edge technologies and an adjacent wind farm to push forward zero- and low-carbon H2 production.

This episode also explores the challenges and opportunities in scaling these projects nationwide, the significance of tax credit transfer, and how key policies are shaping the growth of both Plug Power and the green energy sector.

In this episode, Hydrogen Economist sat down with Michael Kolodner, Global Renewable Energy and U.S. Power Leader at Marsh Energy, to explore how businesses can manage risk in an evolving energy landscape. From H2 infrastructure to carbon capture, Michael breaks down the unique risks facing the sector and how Marsh supports clients through policy shifts, emerging technologies, and complex supply chains. Whether you're a veteran of the power industry or a tech entrant navigating energy demands, this episode sheds light on the critical role of strategic risk management in enabling innovation and capital flow in the energy transition.

On this episode, Hydrogen Economist, details new hydrogen pipeline conversions and builds that are taking place in Germany, including challenges, scope, strategy and hydrogen delivery goals of the EU.

Hydrogen Economist continues its global analysis into the global hydrogen value chain. This episode provides a detailed analysis of capital spending, regulations, partnerships and the potential Africa has to boost low-carbon/zero-carbon hydrogen production.

In this mini-series, Petroleum Economist takes a deep dive into the global hydrogen value chain. Part 1 provides a forecast of global hydrogen demand, as well as capital spending and active project developments.
