What this episode covers

Anne-Sophie Corbeau, a senior research scholar at Columbia University’s SIPA Center on Global Energy Policy and former head of Gas Analysis for BP, discusses the economic and technical challenges of transporting hydrogen across oceans. She evaluates five primary transport methods: liquefied hydrogen, e-methane, liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), ammonia, and methanol, highlighting the prohibitive energy costs of liquefaction and the high price of synthetic methane. The conversation also covers the geopolitical implications of hydrogen trade, the potential for repurposing natural gas pipelines, and the strategic decision for exporting nations to produce hydrogen-derived products like steel rather than exporting raw hydrogen.

    167. How Hydrogen Will Replace Batteries

    Daniel and Forbode discuss research from EPFL on using ammonia as a stable carrier for hydrogen, addressing the storage and transport challenges of pure hydrogen. They highlight a new catalyst developed by an EPFL researcher that reduces cracking costs by 200 times, potentially making hydrogen fuel cells viable for large-scale applications like semi-trucks. The hosts compare energy density and return on energy invested for lithium-ion batteries, liquefied hydrogen, and ammonia, concluding that ammonia offers superior storage efficiency and lower loss rates.

    HIBT Lab! Universal Hydrogen: Paul Eremenko

    Paul Eremenko, co-founder and CEO of Universal Hydrogen, explains his company's strategy to decarbonize aviation by replacing jet fuel with green hydrogen. He details the technical and logistical challenges of hydrogen, including its low energy density compared to batteries and the high cost of infrastructure, proposing a modular capsule system for distribution. Eremenko outlines the roadmap for retrofitting ATR regional aircraft by 2025 and designing new clean-sheet single-aisle aircraft like the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 for the mid-2030s, leveraging investors such as Airbus, GE, and Fortescue.

    Turning Air, Water, and Sunlight into Natural Gas: Casey Handmer’s Vision for Sustainable Energy Part 1

    Casey Handmer, founder of Terraform Industries, explains his company's approach to producing sustainable natural gas by combining direct air capture of CO2 with green hydrogen generated via electrolysis. He argues that conventional green hydrogen is economically unviable due to high costs and infrastructure challenges, advocating instead for modular, low-cost electrolyzers powered directly by cheap solar energy to produce methane on-site. Handmer draws on his background in space exploration and physics to frame the problem as one of energy arbitrage, emphasizing the necessity of hydrocarbons for heavy industry and aviation while dismissing hydrogen as a standalone fuel.
