3 Big Hydrogen Wins: Ireland’s Push, JCB’s Breakthrough, and India’s Mega Project
Manage episode 489055556 series 2903330
In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we explore three powerful hydrogen stories making global waves:
🇮🇪 Ireland: The Irish Examiner outlines how Ireland plans to leverage 50,000 km² of offshore wind to decarbonize heavy industry, transport, and heating. With 5 GW of offshore wind by 2030 and projects like the €200M Galway Hydrogen Hub, Ireland is betting big on green hydrogen—but will the economics work?
🏴 Scotland (JCB): The Scotsman covers the debut of JCB’s hydrogen internal combustion engine at The Royal Highland Show. With a retrofit-ready 4.8L hydrogen ICE for heavy machinery, JCB is taking on diesel and battery-electric power head-on. Could this be a game-changer for construction and agriculture?
🇮🇳 India: Moneycontrol reports on Indian Oil Corporation’s plan to build India’s largest green hydrogen facility at Panipat. With 200 MW of renewables powering 27 tons of daily hydrogen output, this project is key to India’s 5 million-ton hydrogen target and clean refining future.
🔎 In this episode:
- Policy-backed hydrogen strategies from Ireland, India, and Scotland
- Economic analysis of electrolytic vs low-CI hydrogen
- Demand challenges and internal-use strategies
- Technology deep dives: PEM, alkaline, and hydrogen ICE innovation
- Lessons for the U.S. from H.R.1, Baytown, and Koloma
🌍 As hydrogen accelerates worldwide, each country’s approach offers insight into how the global hydrogen economy is taking shape—from cost, to technology, to market demand.
