Hydrogen: From Hype to Hope?
In the early 2020s, hydrogen was hailed as the miracle fuel of the future – clean, limitless, and ready to power everything from cars to continents.
Billions of dollars of investments were announced, ribbons were cut, books were written, and politicians the world over took photos in hard hats. But what happened after the headlines faded?
Join Chris Rowland, CEO of Hadean Energy, for a thought-provoking look at the rise, stall, fall, and potential rebirth of the hydrogen industry.
We will go behind the headlines, looking at why hydrogen projects keep failing, and asking – Where did the hype go? What lessons were learned? And what role could hydrogen play in our energy future?
This is a story of ambition, reality checks, and the messy middle between vision and viability. Whether you’re a climate optimist, a tech skeptic, an interested investor, or just energy-curious – this conversation is for you.
