The development of hydrogen hubs is intended to be the first step toward the creation of a national network of clean hydrogen producers and customers to facilitate a clean hydrogen economy. Although hydrogen hubs are a significant step toward decarbonization, several items must be considered. This episode examines seven considerations that must be studied by hydrogen hub developers and participants.

With momentum building in the renewable fuels space, refiners are looking to convert their existing facilities to produce renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). However, this is not a simple switch. This podcast details the drivers, strategies, challenges and opportunities for refinery conversions to renewable fuels and SAF.

This episode, by Marcus Brucher, Senior Vice President of Compression, Siemens Energy, discusses the potential of ammonia as a clean energy carrier and the critical role compressors play in its production.

Hydrocarbon Processing sat down with Matt Kirchner, Vice President of Marketing for Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) at the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturer’s Association (AFPM) Summit. This episode dives down into the current FCC catalyst market, challenges facing the refining industry and how catalyst are playing a role in the solution, and where the FCC catalyst market is heading in the future.

In this episode, the editors of Hydrocarbon Processing interview Rogan Jones, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, AIS Software, live from the AFPM Summit.
