🔥 The Hydrogen Boom Continues! 💨 TotalEnergies & Air Liquide are making a €1 billion investment in green hydrogen projects across Europe, Morocco, and Latin America—shaping the future of clean energy. In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, Paul Rodden breaks down how these massive hydrogen investments are accelerating the energy transition and transforming global markets.

🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
TotalEnergies & Air Liquide’s €1B Green Hydrogen Initiative – The ELYgator Project & Zeeland Hydrogen Hub
Hydrogen Expansion Beyond EuropeMorocco’s Chbika Project & Latin America’s Growing Hydrogen Market
Hydrogen Market Growth & Cost Reduction – How green hydrogen is becoming cost-competitive with natural gas
Regulatory & Policy Drivers – The role of The European Green Deal, REPowerEU, & Carbon Border Tariffs
Global Hydrogen Economy & Infrastructure Expansion – Why governments & energy giants are investing in hydrogen

🌍 Key Hydrogen Projects & Insights:

1️⃣ TotalEnergies & Air Liquide’s €1 Billion Green Hydrogen Initiative – Europe 🇪🇺

  • 100 MW – 250 MW electrolyzers for industrial decarbonization & hydrogen mobility
  • ELYgator Project (Rotterdam, Netherlands): 200 MW electrolyzer producing 23,000 tons of green hydrogen annually
  • Zeeland Green Hydrogen Hub: 250 MW electrolyzer for refining, steel, & ammonia industries
  • 500,000+ metric tons of CO₂ emissions avoided annually
  • Economic impact: Over 2,500 construction jobs + hundreds of technical positions

2️⃣ TotalEnergies’ Global Hydrogen Expansion 🌎 🇲🇦

  • Morocco’s Chbika Project – A green hydrogen & 200,000-ton ammonia export facility
  • Cutting-edge electrolyzer & seawater desalination technology
  • Strategic hydrogen export hub for Europe (EU imports 10M tons by 2030)
  • Potential billions in foreign investment & job creation

3️⃣ Hydrogen Market Growth & Cost Competitiveness

  • Green hydrogen production costs: Currently $4–$6 per kgProjected $2–$3 per kg by 2030
  • Hydrogen cost parity with natural gas ($2/kg = ~$14.65 per MMBtu)
  • Scaling electrolyzer efficiency & hydrogen storage infrastructure
  • Hydrogen fuel becoming a competitive alternative for industrial & transport sectors

4️⃣ Policy & Economic Drivers for Hydrogen Expansion 📜💰

  • The European Green Deal & REPowerEU – Targeting 20M tons of hydrogen production/import by 2030
  • Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM): Tariffs on high-carbon imports drive hydrogen adoption
  • Public & Private Sector InvestmentsMulti-billion-dollar projects backed by EU & global energy giants
