Everything About Hydrogen

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.

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.

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.
