🛢️ 2. Storage That Works: TOL/MCH (LOHC)

• 6.2 wt% H2 stored safely in liquid form
• No need for cryogenics or compression
• $150–$200M for a 10,000-ton system
• Perfect for regions without salt caverns or H2 pipelines

🏭 3. Real-World Use Cases: Steel & Ammonia

• Steel: Hydrogen DRI replaces coal, slashing CO2 by 90%
• Ammonia: 13M tons annually in U.S.—ready for blue hydrogen now
• Marine fuel potential: zero NOx/SOx, 5M tons reduction possible
• These applications are already operating or in pilots

📊 Feasible, Profitable, Scalable

• $6–$7B investment yields $800M in profits

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we break down a high-stakes development in U.S. hydrogen policy:

📰 Politico reports the Department of Energy may cut funding for 4 of 7 hydrogen hubs—mostly in blue states—while preserving hubs in red states like Texas and Louisiana. The move sparks bipartisan concern but could reshape the U.S. hydrogen strategy around blue hydrogen from natural gas.

We cover three crucial angles:

💥 1. Why Blue Hydrogen is the Right Market Builder
✅ Uses existing infrastructure & natural gas reserves
✅ Costs just $1.50–$2.00/kg vs. $3–$4/kg for green hydrogen
✅ Displaces diesel emissions that cause 30,000 premature deaths/year
✅ Cuts harmful NOx, SOx, and PM2.5 particulates
✅ SMR + CCS = 1–2 kg CO2e/kg H₂ (vs. 10 kg for gray hydrogen)

📈 2. The Economic Upside
✅ $100–$150 million in profit per 200,000 tons/year
✅ $6.5–$13 billion saved in health costs
✅ 140,000+ jobs projected by 2030
✅ 25% IRR with 45Q and 45V tax credits
✅ Exports to Europe could rival LNG revenue

🛡️ 3. Boosting U.S. Energy Security
✅ Cuts diesel imports by 130 million gallons/year
✅ Strengthens grid resilience with hydrogen pipelines + salt cavern storage
✅ Protects critical infrastructure from particulate corrosion
✅ Reduces fertilizer import dependence via ammonia integration

This isn't just about emissions—it's about economic strength, public health, and national security. Tune in for the full breakdown of what this shift means for the future of hydrogen in America.
