    Episode 28 | Marc Bednarz | How to Build Successful Power-to-X Projects

    In this episode of the Stanford Hydrogen Innovators Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Marc Bednarz, an accomplished electrochemist, project developer, and CEO of Cohyba, who has spent over two decades building hydrogen and clean energy technologies across Europe, Asia, and the world. Marc shares a rare inside look at what project development really means for large-scale green hydrogen and Power-to-X projects — from technology selection and bankability to engineering integration, financing, and offtake. Drawing on his experience leading CWP Global’s Hydrogen & Derivatives team, Marc explains where Europe is making the fastest progress, where bottlenecks remain, and what it will take to accelerate deployment at gigawatt scale.

    Episode 27 | Ivana Jemelkova | Global Progress and the Shift from Ambition to Delivery

    In this episode, we sit down with Ivana Jemelkova, Chief Executive Officer of the Hydrogen Council, to explore global hydrogen progress and what it really takes to turn vision into scale. Ivana shares insights from the Council’s new Global Hydrogen Compass report, revealing over $110 billion in committed investments and 510 projects worldwide, and breaks down what’s driving momentum across China, North America, and Europe. We explore the essentials for growth demand, policy clarity, standardization, and infrastructure, and why, as Ivana puts it, “the energy transition will move at the speed of trust.” An inspiring conversation about how hydrogen is moving from ambition to delivery.

    Episode 26 | Kamden Maas | Steel Wins: Simplifying Hydrogen Storage

    Hydrogen storage might not be flashy, but it’s foundational. In this episode of Hydrogen Innovators, we sit down with Kamden Maas, U.S. Sales Manager at Atlanta Cylinders, to unpack how Type I all-steel cylinders are helping projects move from pilot to deployment. Kamden explains why long-lived, stackable, high-pressure steel storage (700 bar U.S.; up to 1000 bar in the EU approvals) can cut costs versus composite alternatives, what third-party certifications (DOT/ASME vs. ISO) really mean for safety, and how storage design choices ripple through refueling, backup power, and site footprint. We also get a candid market tour—Spain/Portugal and Northern Europe’s momentum, steady progress in the U.S. Gulf—and a call for practical collaboration across suppliers, developers, and communities. Kamden closes with advice for early-career professionals on leading with authenticity and pushing the envelope in a constantly evolving industry.

    Episode 24 | Pierre-Etienne Franc | Accelerating the Hydrogen Economy Through Infrastructure Investment

    In this episode of the Hydrogen Innovators podcast, we sit down with Pierre-Etienne Franc, a global leader in hydrogen investment and infrastructure. As the CEO of Hy24, the world’s largest clean hydrogen infrastructure fund, and co-founder of both FiveT Hydrogen and the Hydrogen Council, Pierre-Etienne has played a pivotal role in shaping the hydrogen economy from multiple angles: finance, policy, and industrial deployment. Pierre-Etienne walks us through his journey from launching Air Liquide’s Hydrogen Energy business to spearheading multi-billion-euro investments in clean hydrogen across the full value chain. He shares key insights into how Hy24 evaluates risk, aligns diverse stakeholders, and drives large-scale deployment at speed and scale. We also unpack common misconceptions about hydrogen, explore the emerging project hotspots around the world, and reflect on the leadership qualities needed to build lasting climate infrastructure. Whether you're a policymaker, investor, entrepreneur, or student, this episode offers a rare inside look at the strategic vision and deep conviction driving one of hydrogen’s most influential voices.

    Episode 23 | Patrick Molloy | Ammonia: Fueling the Future

    Patrick Molloy, Principal at RMI’s Climate-Aligned Industries program and co-host of Everything About Hydrogen, joins the Hydrogen Innovators Podcast to explore ammonia’s rapidly expanding role in the clean energy transition—as a shipping fuel, hydrogen carrier, and critical input for fertilizers. This episode also marks the debut of our new co-hosts, Stanford PhD students Milenia Rojas Mendoza and Emma Kerr, who bring fresh insight and sharp questions to the conversation. Together, they discuss the impact of recent policy developments like the IMO carbon levy, the balance between centralized and decentralized production, and the global lessons emerging from hydrogen and ammonia deployment efforts. Patrick shares his personal path into the hydrogen space and reflects on the visionary leadership of Amory Lovins, offering a wide-ranging and thoughtful discussion on where this market is headed next.
