In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we trace a global shift in hydrogen strategy—one that goes beyond net-zero headlines and dives into the new security, jobs, and supply chain realities shaping the sector.

🌍 Key Highlights:

  • America’s $1B minerals push: Why energy security is now as critical as emissions cuts.
  • France’s Lorraine Basin: White hydrogen discoveries worth up to $12B investment and 15,000 jobs.
  • Japan’s pragmatic vision: Balancing climate goals with reliability in a $100B national plan.
  • Germany’s hydrogen backbone: €19B pipeline megaprojects and underground storage for resilience.
  • Global white hydrogen boom: Exploration up 300% since 2023, with ExxonMobil, BHP, and TotalEnergies entering the race.
  • The economics: Why blue and turquoise hydrogen are outpacing paused green projects, and why natural hydrogen could soon be $1/kg—the cheapest hydrogen fuel in the world.

This isn’t the end of green hydrogen—but it’s clear that a multi-color, onshore, security-first hydrogen strategy is the future.
