Hey there, Climate Confident listeners! In this eye-opening episode, I had the pleasure of discussing the ins and outs of hydrogen with Michael Barnard, Chief Strategist at TFIE Strategy, a leading expert in the renewable energy sector. We dived deep into the role of hydrogen in the clean energy transition and debunked some common misconceptions surrounding this element.

Michael passionately shared his insights on why hydrogen is gaining traction in the energy industry, and we had a lively conversation about its applications, limitations, and future potential. Get ready to have your mind blown as Michael busts the myth of hydrogen being a viable option for aviation or marine transport.

  • The truth behind hydrogen hype and the reasons why it's being pushed so heavily in the energy sector

  • A deep dive into the world of industrial heat and the role hydrogen could play in decarbonizing heat production
