In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we cut through the hype and get real about hydrogen’s global future.
🌍 The Collapse of the Green Hydrogen Bubble
Billions in projects have been canceled across Europe, Australia, and the U.S. due to soaring costs, missed targets, and weak offtake. We explain the economics—why $4–$12/kg green hydrogen couldn’t compete, and why more than $10 billion in projects disappeared in just 18 months.
⚡ Next-Gen Tech Takes the Stage
Methane pyrolysis and natural hydrogen are delivering at $1.50–$2.50/kg, with faster payback periods, strong byproduct markets, and massive energy efficiency gains. We unpack why these technologies are attracting serious capital and driving industrial adoption.
🏭 Air Quality + Public Health Wins
Hydrogen isn’t just about climate—it’s about immediate reductions in NOX, SOX, and PM2.5. From heavy-duty engines to industrial clusters, hydrogen is cutting pollution and saving billions in healthcare costs.
📊 What You’ll Learn:
- Why green hydrogen projects collapsed under economic pressure
- How methane pyrolysis lowers costs and emissions while producing carbon black
- The disruptive potential of natural hydrogen at <$2/kg
- Why industry clusters and air quality mandates are driving hydrogen adoption
- How investors and policymakers can avoid hype and back bankable, real-world hydrogen

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
