Two decades ago, Jason Goodhand was working in Hydrogen. But he says it’s different now. “Whether it's renewable energy, or oil and gas, every sector is trying to ramp up to have enough people to work on hydrogen projects. And it's incredible how fast it came around this time.”  How has the market developed?  What’s changed over the last twenty years?  Did he just say “electrolyzer”?  We talk about the journey to scale the industry, the goals of a 100% renewable grid, and opportunities for hydrogen in synergy with other renewables.  “I don’t think lithium will get us there” …. let’s look at the business case for clean hydrogen and who’s tackling the challenges to bring it to market at scale.  

This is part two of our Green Hydrogen Mini-Series.  Hear them all as they are released this week on Sun Cast.
