In an interview with Chris Gill from Worley, key barriers to green hydrogen projects are discussed, with cost identified as the primary obstacle. Capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating costs (OpEx) must be addressed to secure off-take agreements crucial for project advancement. The move towards standardization is highlighted as essential to reducing costs, requiring projects of sufficient scale to make this feasible. A focus on digital solutions and asset optimization, such as Worley's Asset Optimization Center (AOC), in collaboration with IBM and ABB, is emphasized for enhanced performance in green hydrogen production. Infrastructure challenges, including securing electrical systems, pipelines, and renewable energy sources, vary across regions, affecting project timelines. Regulatory challenges, particularly the lack of common standards, pose barriers to the global hydrogen market's establishment. The importance of unified regulations and support from influential global bodies like the G20 and the International Energy Agency is stressed. Moreover, the article touches on community engagement, highlighting the need to address stakeholders' concerns, especially regarding safety. Overcoming hesitancy towards hydrogen projects among the wider population and ensuring safety as a priority are vital for gaining community trust and support in the green hydrogen transition.
