In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we explore two major hydrogen developments reshaping the global energy landscape.
🇩🇪 Germany: Deutsche ReGas secures $127 million in EU funding to launch a major hydrogen hub in Lubmin, Germany—powered by offshore wind and connected to Europe’s hydrogen transport backbone.
🇨🇳 China: Sinopec launches a $690 million hydrogen venture capital fund, doubling down on electrolyzer innovation, FCEV infrastructure, and scale-up of low-CI hydrogen production to dominate the global market.
🇺🇸 The U.S. Response: With the repeal of the Section 45V tax credit via the “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act,” America must now focus on economics-first hydrogen—SMR with CCS, natural hydrogen, and methane pyrolysis—all producing hydrogen at $1–$2/kg.
Plus, we spotlight how natural hydrogen could supercharge ammonia production in the Midwest and what public-private partnerships must do to keep pace.
📈 All cost data sourced from DOE, IEA, and BloombergNEF to provide the clearest picture of hydrogen’s economic future.
🎧 Listen now to learn:
- How Germany and China are scaling hydrogen innovation
- The real opportunity for the U.S. with natural hydrogen
- Why ammonia production could become America’s hydrogen ace
- What it will take to remain globally competitive by 2030
