The evidence is clear that humans value being good members of their tribes much more than they value being correct. We will choose to be wrong if it keeps us in good standing with our peers.

In this episode, we explore how that affects politics and science communication, and how it is driving our growing partisan divide.

The markets for hydrogen & fuel cell technology are rapidly expanding, and Europe is taking a lead. The Norwegian hydrogen business community is expanding into new ventures and applications and exciting new consortia are being created at a higher pace than ever. The aim for business and research both in Norway and Europe is to secure and expand the lead.

This week, the H2 value chain seminar gathered the best of industry, research and innovation throughout the hydrogen value chain in Norway and Europe. 

Interviews with:

• Tomas Kåberger, Industrial Growth Executive for EIT InnoEnergy
• Nils Røkke, Chairman, The European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) and Director of Sustainability, SINTEF
• Johan Hustad, Director, NTNU Energy
• Einar Kilde Evensen, SVP / Client Advisor, Renewables & Infrastructure at DNB
• Kevin Gould, Senior Advisor, Global Markets, Corporate Strategy, Statkraft
• Kathrine Ryengen, CEO, ZEG Power
• Mikael Norlander, Head of R&D portfolio and Industry Decarbonization, Vattenfall

Jack Brouwer is a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UC Irvine, as well as the head of the National Fuel Cell Research Center. He joins the podcast to discuss the potential of fuel cell technology as a complement to wind and solar energy, which could pave the way for the development and implementation of 100 percent renewable energy. “What we’d like to see is renewable gasses that include biogasses but also renewable hydrogen, and this would become the ubiquitous fuel that’s moved around in society, and then you would use a whole bunch of wind, a whole bunch of solar, and complement it with something you can turn on and off, and turn up and down, which is the fuel cell,” explains Brouwer. 

He discusses the biggest hurdles in the way of fuel cell technology, how to jump these hurdles, how to understand and compare different forms of energy, how fuel cells operate and are affected by temperature versus the concentration of fuel and oxygen, and much more.
