Podcasts - Oxford Institute for Energy Studies

In this latest OIES podcast from the Electricity Programme, Dimitra Apostolopoulou talks to Senior Research Fellow David Robinson and energy consultant Mike Tennican (prior Senior Vice President and Director at National Economic Research Associates and a Professor at Harvard Business School) about their latest paper titled “Electricity, Green Hydrogen, and the Energy Transition”. In this podcast we discuss the forecast roles for both green hydrogen and electricity in the energy transition their complementary as well as their competing relationship. We then discuss the challenges associated with the demand for green hydrogen and the most likely demand to be replacing grey hydrogen. Last, we discuss lessons learned for green hydrogen from the electric power sector about the potential for increasing demand through cost reduction; successful business models; as well as appropriate support policies through regulation and markets.
