I'm looking forward to speaking at World Hydrogen North America 2024, taking place from May 21-23 in Houston! Don't miss our Debate of the Day moderated by Frank Wolak about whether the Current Policy Levels for USA and Canada are Adequate to Instigate the H2 Industry at Scale. This is going to be an energizing way to kickoff the day on May 22! Find out more via https://lnkd.in/gEGfe2gD . World Hydrogen Leaders

Should be a great session

Working on my speaker notes…. If possible, use renewable electricity as electricity Hydrogen is an energy carrier Storage and transport of hydrogen is hard, use it locally as much as possible Hydrogen pricing in CA of $35 / kg (~$35 / gal equivalent) is unsustainable Regional differences change the answer to what is the right “color” of hydrogen Scaling green hydrogen will lower $/kg cost, to a point Industry will figure out methane emissions and natural gas WILL be used to make low carbon intensity hydrogen with carbon capture I’m very bullish on “Turquoise” (pyrolysis), no carbon capture and leverage natural gas network E-fuels using biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen are EXPENSIVE today The type of developer matters, working at a super major I never heard terms like “bankable”, “fully wrapped”, “performance guarantees”, or offtake agreements Offtake is as or more important than the project scope and cost Fully wrapping projects just increasing your cost, you always own the risk when you are the owner +/- 10% estimates for FID, prove it with statistics not qualitative data Business models need to be competitive without tax incentives but with a carbon market Everyone has an opinion on Hydrogen, this is mine…tell me what you think! #WHNA24 #Hydrogen #WHL

Maroš Šefčovič, Vice-President of the European Commission: "We are dedicated to creating an ecosystem enabling hydrogen to be produced here in the EU, using domestically manufactured technologies. Hydrogen will play a key role in the future European economy. So let's make Europe the global home of clean hydrogen." We are excited to learn more today and to dive into hydrogen topics at European Hydrogen Week. Join us! ➡ https://euhydrogenweek.eu/

EU Hydrogen Week 2023 concluded last Friday and all the visitors witnessed an intriguing event on such a contemporary subject. 💡 Key take aways from Watermeλon Consulting's participation, : 📌 Ursula von der Leyen keynote speech underpinned the plan and commitment of the 🇪🇺 to establish a dominant role across the hydrogen value chain. 📌 Encouraging news about the planned financial support 💰 is the perfect canvas to draw the details for multiple ambitious projects and improve their long term feasibility. 📌 Long term feasibility of projects is necessary for technology/solution providers to plan the development and production of critical equipment for said projects. 📌 Project developers remain commited to mature their projects, exploring all aspects and and reach FIDs. 📌 More and more start-ups and RTOs rise to provide solutions to existing challenges with novel concepts that will attract investment in the near future. 📌 Each project requires a structured tailored approach and careful study to see if and how (clean) hydrogen fits to its basic characteristics. There is no need, or room, for superficial concepts, wasted effort and resources that generate just noise. European Commission, Hydrogen Europe and Clean Hydrogen Partnership have raised the bar with this year event 👏 👏 👏 ! With that momentum we could achieve meaningful progress until the next EU hydrogen week in 2024 . #euh2week #euhydrogenweek #greenhydrogen #greenammonia
