Michael Liebreich's Keynote Speech at World Hydrogen Congress 2022

Michael Liebreich, leading clean energy analyst and founder of Bloomberg New Energy Finance gives a keynote speech at the World Hydrogen Congress in October 2022.
The World Hydrogen Congress is the leading independent, premium networking and content rich event in the annual clean hydrogen calendar.
For 2023 the programme has expanded to World Hydrogen Week 9-13 October 2023, see www.worldhydrogen-week.com/

A very good description of the limitations of hydrogen.

[@matthias2912]

Thank you from Germany!

[@gilanganggita3129]

Very insightful.

Talk about cat among the pigeons, takes a pair of cahoneys to stand in front of the oil and gas industry and tell them you are on to them. Surprised he made it out of there alive!!!

[@elinys2843]

I hope Europe takes the message and changes its plans. Hydrogen will not be the solution, it will add to the problem.

[@JC-kb8vb]

Yeah, because you are an expert. BTW, just like Michael.

[@JC-kb8vb]

I love how Michael, by no means an expert on the field, uses Hydrogen Science Coalition as a source... Come on...

It’s 😂a interesting distraction technique.

[@kevinschreiber5952]

How do I get my 22 minutes back. Too simple view on the hydrogen economy, shame.

[@Hands2HealNow]

search MIKE STRIZKY of Hopewell NJ is cleaner, more abundant, safer to store and use as a mobile fuel.

But you can't scale it up. This might be a solution for the upper 1 % of society. We have to think about the other 99 % !

The Hydrogen House - I thought his videos were very enlightening, and he is a true hydrogen believer and a very clever engineer, but all I could I think was 'you would only need 1/3rd the number of solar panels if you used a battery, and even less if you added some wind' - the efficiency loss of going via hydrogen is written large in his hydrogen house, for less money he could have drilled a well for a ground source heat pump and added a small turbine and not needed to store all that hydrogen for seasonal storage - what he built is very clever, he absolutely did it - off grid seasonal storage via hydrogen from solar alone - a great achievement - but going via hydrogen made the whole thing bigger (physically) and far more expensive than it would be if you started with a clean slate today. If anything, the project proves how impractical those who say 'hydrogen for long term storage' would be. A single house needs acres of land for the tanks and panels and millions of dollars of complex equipment and an onsite engineer to keep it all going.
