HYDROGEN

In an era where hydrogen is being hailed as the silver bullet for decarbonization, chemical engineer Paul Martin drops a sobering truth bomb: we’re watching history repeat itself, but this time with taxpayers footing a multi-billion dollar bill for what he calls “hydrogen hyperbole.” WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW The Inconvenient Truth About Green Hydrogen The stark reality? After decades of development and massive, largely public funding, many leading hydrogen companies have never turned a profit. With 30 years of hands-on hydrogen expertise, Martin argues that the current hydrogen rush bears an unsettling resemblance to the blockchain bubble—lots of promises and…

nuclear hydrogen

While the world debates the merits of solar panels and wind turbines, a quiet revolution is brewing in the clean energy sector: nuclear-powered hydrogen production. This unlikely marriage of technologies could be the key to unlocking a zero-emission industrial future, and Canada is at the forefront of this transformation. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW The Perfect Marriage: Nuclear and Hydrogen The concept is deceptively simple: take a nuclear power plant’s two main outputs – clean electricity and high-temperature steam – and use them to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. This process, known as high-temperature steam electrolysis, could revolutionize how…

HYDROGEN PIPELINES

In the rush to embrace hydrogen as a clean energy solution, we might be putting the cart before the horse. This stark warning comes from George Verberg, former CEO of Gasunie and past president of both the European Gas Association and the International Gas Union. With over eight decades of experience in the energy sector, Verberg’s perspective on the current hydrogen infrastructure push is both sobering and enlightening. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW The Pipeline Problem The European Union’s ambitious 2030 timeline for hydrogen pipeline infrastructure faces several critical challenges that many aren’t discussing openly. According to Verberg, the current cost…

Europe Losing Ground in Hydrogen, BCG Says

Europe is at risk of losing its lead in hydrogen technology. China and the USA are advancing faster, warns a study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG). Europe still benefits from earlier advantages in materials, efficiency, and longevity of plants. However, this lead is diminishing.
