Episode notes

I saw you on a biophysical economic institute webinar talking about hydrogen. You know that topic, North-South horizontal vertical net gross. I thought you would be a great guest to have on to update us on hydrogen reality. We're just trying to get a biophysical map of what works, what's our reality and maybe hydrogen can play a role.

On this episode, chemical engineer Paul Martin joins The Great Simplification to talk about all things hydrogen. There are many ‘Fuels of the Future’ about which the media likes to create hopeful and seamless narratives, one of the currently popular of these being hydrogen. Where does hydrogen come from and what do we already depend on hydrogen for - is it as ‘clean’ as the media leads us to believe? How can we think about hydrogen from a systems perspective to determine if it is really an energy solution - or an energy problem? What does this mean for the design of global supply chains entering into a simplified material future?
