Everything About Hydrogen

Nel Hydrogen is one of the largest electrolysis companies in the world, with an array of Akaline and PEM solutions that have been used in a wide variety of energy and industrial applications. On the show we ask Bjorn Simonsen, VP of Investor Relations and Corporate Communication at Nel Hydrogen, to talk through how Nel has seen the green hydrogen market evolve and where Nel fits into this sector transition.Links:Nel announces partnership with Nikola motors: https://nelhydrogen.com/press-release/awarded-multi-billion-nok-electrolyzer-and-fueling-station-contract-by-nikola/Good overview of Nel’s projects and partnerships in the hydrogen sector:https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=2ahUKEwjBxo7ShIDlAhXaVRUIHUZsC7EQFjABegQIBRAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnelhydrogen.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F06%2FNel-ASA_Presentation_May-2017_v2.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3ChgmrV7YdqgeWIAD-eHsUNel partnership with Yara on Green Ammonia: https://nelhydrogen.com/press-release/nel-asa-awarded-grant-for-green-fertilizer-project-with-yara/Nel spins out its hydrogen refuelling business to Everfuel: https://nelhydrogen.com/press-release/nel-asa-closes-agreements-related-to-everfuel-and-signs-sales-and-service-agreement/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We speak to Enass Abo-Hamed, the CEO of H2GOPower, about their cutting edge hydrogen storage technology. Below we have attached a few links to the content discussed on the show and some further background reading.H2GOPower web site: http://www.h2gopower.com/For a chance to see the laboratory and some of the materials that H2GOPower work with, this short youtube video is a great place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAadxwyqzM0 If you would like a technical resource, this page by the US Fuel Cell Technologies Office can provide a great overview of the area: https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/metal-hydride-storage-materials And if you want to hear more of Enass, then you can listen to her TEDTalk atTEDx Bucharest released in March 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmBhp6ec0fkSubscribe to our podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Tune In, Stitcher, or whichever platform you use to find your favorite content, or listen to each episode on inspiratia's web site here: https://www.inspiratia.com/podcastsIf you would like the team at EAH to address your specific questions or if you have any input for us, send us an email at podcasts@inspiratia.com.  We would love to hear from you.You can also follow us on Twitter at @AboutHydrogen.

On this weeks show we discuss with Graham Cooley, the CEO of ITM Power, how his company has expanded from a research company on AIM in the early 2000’s, to one of the largest electrolyser manufacturers in the world. On the show we also ask Graham to talk about how the hydrogen market has evolved, where he sees the potential growth trajectory for the industry and how ITM sees its role within this space.

There is an extensive wealth of reports available on hydrogen today. But here are a few good primers to get you started: The IEA is a great initial starting point. Their latest report on “The Future of Hydrogen” is the best regarded report in this field, while their website has a wealth of information on projects, deployments and cost considerations: https://www.iea.org/topics/hydrogen/resources/ Another excellent overview of hydrogen projects, largely in the European context, comes from the World Energy Councils “New Hydrogen Economy: Hype or Hope” report. https://www.worldenergy.org/publications/2019/world-energy-insights-brief-new-hydrogen-economy-hype-or-hope/ Perhaps the most famous report in recent times on hydrogen is the 2017 Hydrogen Council report “Hydrogen scaling up”, which is a vision document on how large the potential hydrogen market could be: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=2ahUKEwiklp2sp8jjAhVNSRUIHWk5AQYQFjABegQIARAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhydrogencouncil.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F11%2FHydrogen-scaling-up-Hydrogen-Council.pdf&usg=AOvVaw20OMo_avhu5Xmmc-gj-QXk To see the Hydrogen value proposition for the hard to abate sectors see the Energy Transition Commission’s Mission Possible report, 2 page summary link here: http://www.energy-transitions.org/sites/default/files/ETC_Mission_Possible-2-page_summary.pdf For more specific projects and technologies, the following documents may also be of interest:The role of hydrogen gas turbines: https://www.naturalgasworld.com/the-pure-hydrogen-gas-turbine-is-coming-gas-transitions-70851 Hydrogen in the Netherlands: http://www.hydrogenfuelnews.com/the-netherlands-could-be-home-to-a-100-mw-renewable-hydrogen-production-plant/8537778/  Recent market acquisitions: https://www.ibj.com/articles/74407-cummins-to-acquire-canadian-hydrogen-fuel-cell-maker-for-290m German govt support: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/hydrogen-focus-german-government-funding-real-world-test-projects See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We cover the hydrogen basics so you don't have to. A 10-minute tour of hydrogen industry technology and terminology for those who are new to the sector or who would simply like a quick review of the basics behind this burgeoning energy source.

For this episode we have focused mostly on the growing fuel cell landscape and its history. There are two excellent resources for people wanting an overview on this sector. The first is the US DOE, who have compiled annual reports on the sectors progress for over a decade: https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/fuel-cell-technologies-office Who manufactures fuel cells and what types? A list of 12 manufacturers and their technologies: https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomkonrad/2013/12/11/twelve-hydrogen-and-fuel-cell-stocks/#11ece79d1b79 China’s fuel cell focus and who is getting involved:https://fuelcellsworks.com/news/chinas-production-of-hydrogen-fuel-cell-vehicles-grows-27-in-2018/https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobile/Toyota-lands-supply-deals-for-fuel-cell-buses-in-China The other is a leading fuel cell consultancy called E4Tech, who have consistently published among the most detailed overviews of global hydrogen and fuel cell projects: http://www.fuelcellindustryreview.com/ There are also some great resources available about Ballards latest projects, sustainability and how their systems work.
