The Hydrogen Podcast

• Australia, Europe, and California Just Changed Hydrogen Forever

  Welcome back to The Hydrogen Podcast! I’m Paul Rodden, and today we’re diving into three global breakthroughs redefining the future of hydrogen energy:🌏 Australia’s $432 Million Green Hydrogen Bet 🇪🇺 Europe’s $2.5 Billion Hydrogen Pipeline Network 🇺🇸 California’s First Bio-Stimulated Hydrogen TrialIn this episode, we explore:✅ Australia’s bold investment in Orica’s Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub under the Hydrogen Headstart Program, featuring a 50 MW electrolyzer and a cost of $3–$5/kg. ✅ Europe’s massive Barmar pipeline (part of the H2Med project) connecting Spain, France, and Germany, designed to deliver 2 million tons annually. ✅ The world’s first successful subsurface biohydrogen production trial in California’s San Joaquin Basin, with production costs projected under $0.50/kg.🔬 Deep Dive: What Is Biohydrogen? We break down dark fermentation, photo-fermentation, and bio-stimulation—plus the economics, scalability, and how biohydrogen compares to SMR, pyrolysis, and electrolysis.📊 Why It Matters Globally: From policy-backed mega-projects to microbial innovation, these stories signal new possibilities for low-carbon hydrogen production and global infrastructure development.—If you enjoy today’s show, don’t forget to hit like, subscribe, and leave a rating or comment on your favorite platform.

• Trump’s Tax Bill Could Kill U.S. Hydrogen – Reuters Sounds the Alarm

  In this special episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we break down the June 17 Reuters article, “Trump Tax Bill Risks Exodus of Clean Hydrogen Investment.”📉 What’s happening? The “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” (H.R.1), passed by the House, slashes the 45V tax credit timeline—forcing clean hydrogen projects to break ground by January 1, 2026, not 2033. That’s a seven-year cliff that could derail billions in investment.🧩 Inside This Episode:The economic stakes for U.S. hydrogen developers, from HIF Global to Plug PowerHow the loss of the 45V credit could shift hydrogen dominance to China and the EUThe role of 45Q in propping up SMR with CCS—but at what cost to electrolysis?The politics behind the bill and how 250+ companies are fighting backWhat this means for jobs in Texas, Georgia, and other GOP-led hydrogen hubsGlobal contrast: Europe’s Hydrogen Bank and China’s massive hydrogen scale-upWhat happens next—and what U.S. hydrogen needs to stay competitive💡 With hydrogen projects requiring 4–6 years just to start construction, this bill’s rushed timeline threatens to strand sunk costs and kill thousands of jobs. Can the Senate fix it in time?🎧 Stay informed. Stay strategic. Listen now.Support the show
