Generating a Cleaner Future

We are facing a critical moment for the hydrogen industry and, to support the increase in demand, there needs to be investment in large-scale production and related infrastructure that will support the distribution of hydrogen.   In this episode, we’re joined by Simon Earnshaw, Production and Supply Chain Director at Air Products, to find out more about what the company is doing to support this scaling up of production and how industry needs to come together to maximise hydrogen’s potential across the world.

In the first of Generating a Cleaner Future’s in-depth interview episodes, our host, Uta Roggendorf, sits down with David Talbot from CATCH UK to discuss what skills and training are needed to support the energy transition and growth of the hydrogen industry. We explore the challenge of the current skills gap and what action needs to be taken to close it as well as the crucial role CATCH UK plays in the Humber and beyond – an approach that could become a blueprint for other industrial clusters.

In the final part of two special documentary episodes of Generating a Cleaner Future, joining us again are experts from Air Products, Hydrogen UK, and Metrobus, who help us explore the challenges and opportunities facing hydrogen in more depth.  Join us as we also take view of the ways in which hydrogen can, and is, transforming global transport and infrastructure sectors – while exploring how important it is that stakeholders are fully bought into hydrogen’s potential. 

In the first part of two special documentary episodes of Generating a Cleaner Future, we unpack hydrogen’s story – from what it is and how it’s produced, to its undeniable potential and applications within hard-to-abate sectors.  Air Products’ experts Caroline Stancell, Derek Miller and Roger Dewing are joined by voices across the hydrogen industry including Hydrogen UK’s Chief Executive, Clare Jackson, and Managing Director at bus operator Metrobus, Ed Wills. Our guests bring their own unique perspectives as we explore the huge opportunities both for hydrogen and global decarbonisation. 

Welcome to the Generating a Cleaner Future podcast, a brand-new audio series from Air Products exploring the challenges and opportunities for the hydrogen economy and the role of policy, technology and finance in maximising hydrogen’s potential.    With the help of experts from across the hydrogen industry and beyond, the podcast looks at the key factors that will determine hydrogen’s scale-up and the crucial role it can play in decarbonising transport, engineering, and manufacturing. We also dive into the hard-to-abate industries that pose a bigger challenge to decarbonisation, and how we can overcome this to help the world deliver on its net zero promises.
