Dr. Jackson Ewing, Director of Energy and Climate Policy at Duke University, highlighted the challenges faced by the hydrogen sector due to a 'Catch-22' dynamic where the lack of demand hinders investment in supply, and vice versa. He underscored the importance of a robust policy framework encompassing incentives, infrastructure development, and market mechanisms to overcome this challenge. Dr. Ewing identified potential demand drivers for green hydrogen in sectors like ammonia production, long-haul trucking, and industrial processes. He emphasized the necessity of policy interventions such as production tax credits, carbon pricing mechanisms, and low-carbon fuel standards to accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen. Dr. Ewing stressed the need for bipartisan support and collaboration to develop a thriving green hydrogen sector, essential for national energy security and climate goals. NewHydrogen, Inc. is working on ThermoLoop™, a technology that uses water and heat to produce cost-effective green hydrogen, eliminating the reliance on expensive green electricity. The company aims to contribute to the growth of the green hydrogen economy and reduce the environmental impact of traditional hydrogen production methods.
