• ExxonMobil’s $10B Hydrogen Bet & U.S. Hydrogen Hub Uncertainty: What It All Means

  On today’s episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we explore one of the most consequential moves in global hydrogen markets:🔹 ExxonMobil’s Game-Changing Deal with Japan’s Marubeni ExxonMobil has inked a long-term supply agreement to deliver 250,000 tonnes of low-carbon ammonia annually from its planned Baytown, Texas facility. We examine how this mega-project—powered by hydrocarbon-derived hydrogen with CCS—could become the largest of its kind globally, and what it means for ammonia exports, carbon capture economics, and hydrogen’s role in decarbonization.🔹 House Appropriations Hearing Sparks Hydrogen Hub Concerns Energy Secretary Chris Wright faced tough questions over delayed funding for hydrogen hubs like Indiana’s, potentially jeopardizing $2.2 billion in 2024 commitments. We assess the risks, timelines, and implications for U.S. hydrogen strategy as ExxonMobil’s privately funded project moves forward.🔍 Technical Spotlight We break down the full mechanics and economics of hydrocarbon-derived hydrogen with CCS—from 98% CO2 capture to ammonia conversion, including how it stacks up against green hydrogen from electrolysis.📊 Key metrics: – 1 billion cubic feet of hydrogen daily – 1 million+ tonnes of low-carbon ammonia annually – $10–12B CAPEX, $2–3/kg hydrogen cost – DOE hydrogen hub funding at risk – 45Q tax credits and private capital dynamics explained🎧 Whether you’re an investor, policymaker, or engineer, this episode delivers a complete breakdown of hydrogen’s evolving future—from Texas to Tokyo to Washington, D.C.📩 Questions or feedback?

• HyTerra’s 96% Hydrogen Breakthrough, Indiana Hub Plans, & Chile’s $16B Hydrogen Megaproject

  On today’s episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we dive deep into three game-changing developments across the hydrogen industry:🔹 HyTerra’s Natural Hydrogen Well in Kansas HyTerra has recorded 96.1% hydrogen purity at its Sue Duroche 3 well—one of the highest concentrations ever documented. We unpack the geological hydrogen extraction process, economic forecasts at $0.50–$1/kg, and what this means for the future of naturally occurring hydrogen.🔹 Indiana’s Push for a Regional Hydrogen Hub Lawmakers are laying the groundwork for a hydrogen production hub in northwest Indiana, leveraging grid and nuclear-powered electrolysis. With potential backing from the DOE’s $8B hydrogen hubs program, we explore the economic and environmental stakes behind this Midwest initiative.🔹 TotalEnergies’ $16 Billion Renewable Hydrogen Project in Chile We analyze one of the world’s largest green hydrogen efforts—TotalEnergies' massive wind- and solar-powered electrolysis facility aimed at producing 3 million tonnes of ammonia per year. Find out how this sets a new benchmark for global hydrogen export models.💡 This episode covers technical innovation, environmental impact, job creation, cost structures, and infrastructure scaling—whether you're investing, developing projects, or tracking hydrogen policy, this is essential listening.📧 Feedback or questions?

• Japan’s Hydrogen Playbook, The White Gold Rush, and India’s Pink Pivot | Global Hydrogen Breakdown

  In today’s episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we explore three global hydrogen strategies reshaping the clean energy landscape:🔹 Japan’s Multifaceted Hydrogen Blueprint From nuclear-powered electrolysis to liquefied hydrogen imports and heating applications, Japan is betting on a full-spectrum hydrogen economy. We break down the High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR), hydrogen gas blending, and Suiso Frontier’s pioneering hydrogen shipping.🔹 The Global Race for White Hydrogen White hydrogen—naturally occurring underground—could be the next energy goldmine. With over 40 companies exploring reserves and major investments from players like Koloma and Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy, we explore the technology, potential, and slow progress in the so-called “white gold rush.”🔹 India’s Shift Toward Pink Hydrogen With green hydrogen struggling, India is pivoting to nuclear-powered electrolyzers. We compare emissions, costs, and scale potential of pink hydrogen versus solar and wind, and explore how India’s 7.5 GW nuclear fleet could become a reliable base for industrial hydrogen applications.💡 Dive in for a detailed analysis of the technical breakthroughs, job creation, economic stakes, and environmental trade-offs shaping the future of hydrogen—from Japan’s nuclear innovation to India's pink strategy and the uncharted territory of white hydrogen.📧 Feedback?

• Toyota’s Hydrogen Push, U.S.-China Race, and Spain’s $5B Hydrogen Network | Global Hydrogen Update

  In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we cover three major hydrogen developments shaping the global clean energy race:🔹 Toyota’s Big Hydrogen Bet in North America From the launch of its Gen 3 Fuel Cell system to heavy-duty trucks and liquid hydrogen refueling stations, Toyota is going all-in on hydrogen mobility. We unpack the tech specs, costs, and scalability challenges ahead.🔹 The U.S.-China Hydrogen Race Is the U.S. falling behind? China’s massive deployment of hydrogen vehicles and refueling infrastructure dwarfs U.S. efforts—but with $7 billion in DOE funding and the 45V tax credit, the U.S. still has a shot at leadership.🔹 Spain’s National Hydrogen Network Spain is building a 2,600-km hydrogen pipeline to move 1 million tons of green hydrogen annually. We break down how this $5 billion project is making Spain a clean energy powerhouse in Europe.🎯 We explore the technical details, environmental benefits (like eliminating millions of tons of NOx/SOx), and the real economics of hydrogen at scale—from electrolyzer costs to job creation.Subscribe for insights on the global hydrogen economy, energy security, and real infrastructure that’s powering the clean transition.📧 Questions or feedback?
