NewHydrogen, Inc., the developer of ThermoLoop™ technology that produces green hydrogen using water and heat, announced a podcast featuring CEO Steve Hill and Dr. Jackson Ewing, Director of Energy and Climate Policy at Duke University. Dr. Ewing underlined the challenges in the hydrogen sector, emphasizing the need for a robust policy framework to incentivize green hydrogen production and adoption. He highlighted the importance of addressing the 'Catch-22' situation where lack of demand hinders investment and vice versa, proposing measures like incentives, infrastructure development, and market mechanisms. Dr. Ewing also discussed various policy interventions such as production tax credits and carbon pricing to drive the transition towards green hydrogen. The potential of green hydrogen in sectors like ammonia production, long-haul trucking, and industrial processes as a cleaner alternative was recognized. Additionally, he stressed the significance of bipartisan support and collaboration to ensure long-term investment and growth in the green hydrogen sector for enhanced energy security and climate objectives.
