Welcome back Paul Rodden, Host of the Number 1 Global Hydrogen Podcast. He joins us again to give us an update on the Hydrogen market today. His macro picture of hydrogen and the market is gained from over 300 Episodes and following it passionately for the last half a decade. He joined me in Episode 017, go check out this one if you are new to H2 and want a basic understanding of why Hydrogen is being supported as part of the Energy Transition. In this episode we cover the following and...

Pioneering in the microreactor application space to support oil and gas, Nick Morriss with Shepherd Power a spinoff of NOV, is first in line! The integration of nuclear to deliver electricity and thermal support to upstream applications is becoming a reality, so much so that companies like Shepherd are forming in preparation of the uptick in need. Their model is as simple as setting up a facility that they own and operate, giving their customer the ability to purchase their power and thermal ...

From data centers to industrial and petrochemical integration, the new and novel applications of advanced reactors is gaining heavy traction! Join Tay Stevenson and I in a live two-day recap of the United States Nuclear Industry Council’s Advanced Reactor Summit. The shift in possibility from large, conventional power facilities for utilities (1000MW and above) to smaller, more bespoke nuclear applications is happening. Funding is being generated from new and private parties which is amplifyi...

Join Douglas Sandridge and myself (along with a very special guest, Adeline Leonard, age 6) to discuss the growing support of oil and gas professionals supporting nuclear power. The movement of upstream and downstream adopting the concept of nuclear into operations is not new! It is just having an insurgence with the need for increased power generation and new technologies that can produce the increased steam generation as well.Energy SobrietyOil and Gas Executives for NuclearEnergy PolicyImp...

Join author Meredith Angwin and I as we discuss the movement of electrification and some of the major hurdles we must overcome to increase power production and support elimination of energy poverty. We rely on a grid system that is extremely fragile but one that must carry us into the future that is demanding it to supply more electricity than ever and will only increase. How do we support this increased power need, towing on such a fragile line, pun intended… In this episode we discuss:&nbsp...

Join Michelle Brechtelsbauer and I in a discussion about small scale nuclear reactor technology, 20MW micro reactors in fact. We are talking about an innovative way of taking proven, pressurized water reactors and condensing them down into fully packaged modularized power plants, introducing the company Last Energy. Where the goal of selling small scale nuclear energy to anyone needing baseload power generation, is becoming a reality.Fully packaged nuclear power plantsThe economic model of La...

Join Heath Lovell and I to discuss the ground up of CCUS Project Development, its origin story if you would. Helping introduce CCUS and how it is coming to fruition through commercial project development. Heath has a large picture of upfront project stakeholder engagement and development processes. In this episode, I am trying to learn and understand what the ideal model looks like for the carbon capture market to make sense!Stakeholder engagement CCUS project developmentIdeal Cust...

The public perspective of nuclear is positive, nearly half of a global survey of over 20K people are in support of it. This data is a step towards showing where we may need to educate and inform others on the nuclear industry along with many other messages to policymakers, governments, and nuclear producers. The narrative that nuclear is unpopular is dead. Nuclear is also being reinvigorated at a time when discussions surrounding Peak Oil are starting to resurface. In this episode,...

Join Dane Pehrman and I to discuss the current offshore wind (OSW) market in the United States. OSW is still in high demand for the eastern states where the power demand is equally high, in other regions the markets are still developing. Power to X and recent 45V IRA regulations may help build the case for industrial locations like that of the Gulf Coast. In this episode, we discuss the following: -Progression and history of offshore wind in the United States-Current state of economics-D...

Join Ryan Pickering and I as we discuss coal's continued use until we can implement cleaner technologies, be it Natural Gas or Nuclear. Coal is reliable, "cheap" if you do not account for all of the environmental and health impacts associated with it, and infrastructure is already established, contributing ~20% of the United States energy demand and is simple in the technological application - meaning it is not so complex that we have to have massive supply chain advancements for it to be sup...
