  • No More Talk On The Future Of Hydrogen, Let’s Focus On What Works NOW!
    Apr 14 2025

    Tired of the hydrogen hype? So are we. In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, recorded after World Hydrogen North America, we’re putting the spotlight back on what’s feasible now—not what might work in 10 years.

    🎯 Main Focus:
    Let’s stop talking about hydrogen’s future. Let’s start using what works today.

    🔥 What’s Inside This Episode:

    🧪 1. Most Practical Hydrogen Production: SMR + CCS

    • Efficient & scalable at 65-75%
    • Produces hydrogen at $1.50–$2/kg (before credits)
    • Near-zero NOx, SOx, and PM2.5 emissions
    • $60–$70M profit for a 100-MW plant with 20,000 tons/year

    🛢️ 2. Storage That Works: TOL/MCH (LOHC)

    • 6.2 wt% H2 stored safely in liquid form
    • No need for cryogenics or compression
    • $150–$200M for a 10,000-ton system
    • Perfect for regions without salt caverns or H2 pipelines

    🏭 3. Real-World Use Cases: Steel & Ammonia

    • Steel: Hydrogen DRI replaces coal, slashing CO2 by 90%
    • Ammonia: 13M tons annually in U.S.—ready for blue hydrogen now
    • Marine fuel potential: zero NOx/SOx, 5M tons reduction possible
    • These applications are already operating or in pilots

    📊 Feasible, Profitable, Scalable

    • $6–$7B investment yields $800M in profits
    • 5,000 new jobs
    • 8M tons of emissions eliminated annually
    • Potential to capture 60% of the $500B hydrogen market by 2030

    🧠 Why It Matters:
    While some push photocatalysis and gigawatt electrolysis, we need to scale what’s viable today:
    ✅ Blue Hydrogen
    ✅ LOHCs
    ✅ Steel & Ammonia

    Don't let perfect be the enemy of progress.

    💬 “Let’s keep researching—but let’s deploy the tech that works now.”
    If you’re serious about building a real hydrogen economy, this episode is for you.
