Stanford Hydrogen Initiative

In this podcast, Professor Jaramillo gives an overview of the different clean hydrogen production pathways and use cases and explains the growing role of hydrogen in a decarbonized world.  Additionally, don’t miss Professor Jaramillo’s career advice (34:30) and find out who inspires him most and why (43:15) at the end of the podcast. 

  •  Today, Hydrogen is a very cheap chemical feedstock and already a crucial molecule, we depend on it to live (E.g fertilisers) 
  • There won’t be just one clean hydrogen technology that solves all the problems, we need progress across all  
  • Electrolyzers have been around for centuries. The game-changer today is cheap renewable electricity. This comes with a bright future for electrolysis to enable cost-effective green hydrogen production
  • It is always important to create as many options as possible in the fast-evolving landscape of clean energy 
  • The range of use cases for hydrogen is expanding with hydrogen’s growing role in a decarbonized economy. New use cases include steel, aviation, road transportation… 
  • Within electrolysis, the different technologies (PEM, Alkaline, SOEC…) each have a role to play
