  • Episode 16: When could grey hydrogen production phase out and what role does autothermal reforming play in the hydrogen economy?
    2024/07/09

    How long does the world's current grey hydrogen production fleet have left on average? And why do autothermal reformers with carbon capture and storage appear to be the replacement technology of choice for low-carbon hydrogen producers? In this episode of the ICIS Hydrogen Insights podcast, hydrogen editor Jake Stones discusses these matters and more with Johnson Matthey's senior vice president of hydrogen and sustainable technologies, Dr Eugene McKenna.

    Dr McKenna also gives his take on the prospect of retrofitting steam methane reformers with CCS, and the risks facing hydrogen market participants today when developing their projects.

  • Episode 12: The prospect of gold hydrogen, unearthing the facts of natural hydrogen reserves
    2023/08/02

    In episode 12 of the ICIS Hydrogen Insights podcast, hydrogen editor Jake Stones and Neil McDonald, managing director of Australia-based hydrogen exploration company Gold Hydrogen dig deep into the potential for natural hydrogen, also referred to as gold or white hydrogen. Natural hydrogen differs from most types or colours of hydrogen as it does not need to be produced. Instead, natural hydrogen is extracted from underground reserves. The emergence of natural hydrogen exploration companies such as Gold Hydrogen has marked an important development to the potential supply side for future hydrogen markets, presenting a low-cost, low-emissions hydrogen source.
