About this listen

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we unpack a powerful Forbes article titled “From Gridlock to Green Light: Three Focus Areas for Hydrogen Energy Executives” (June 13, 2025) by Whitaker Irvin Jr., CEO of Q Hydrogen.

💡 The Message? 2025 is a make-or-break year—and hydrogen leaders need a new playbook.

🧩 Inside This Episode:

  • How data centers could become hydrogen’s breakout market, powering AI with zero-carbon fuel
  • Why “subsidy-agnostic” economics are essential in the post-H.R.1 landscape
  • How strategic partnerships—like ABB, Fluor & Topsoe’s $400M electrolyzer alliance—are key to scale
  • What the U.S. can learn from Europe’s Hydrogen Bank and China’s hydrogen mega-projects
  • The role of behind-the-meter hydrogen, modular electrolyzers, and R&D priorities

📊 With the 45V tax credit set to expire in 2026, and global competition accelerating, this episode delivers a clear blueprint for executives who want to lead—not lag—in the $1 trillion hydrogen economy by 2050.

🔧 From pilot projects in Utah to policy pivots in Washington, Irvin’s article gives the roadmap—this episode breaks it down.
