Annual Lecture 2024 - Michael Liebreich. Global Energy Transition Trends and Hydrogen

Think i need to link to this video every time someone starts talking about hydrogen cars on every EV review video I've ever watched.

Thank Goodness for Michael Liebreich speaking truth to power about hydrogen.

This is a "must watch" video for everybody involved in cleantech and the energy transition. Michael, thanks for again explaining things in such clear and no BS way!

Would pay to hear Greg and Michael talk. Excellent stuff. To add to their points on buses, Shenzhen cracked on and built 16,000 buses in two years Inc all the infrastructure necessary. 1 million miles a day are covered by them. London has taken a decade to get to 1000 . Bravo 👏.

If you'd like to hear more from Michael Liebreich, his thoughts on hydrogen and other aspects of the clean energy transition, as well as from leaders across the climate space, please follow Cleaning Up, a podcast hosted by Michael and Baroness Bryony Worthington.

Excellent talk. Michael and Paul Martin do such a great job of laying this out for us non-technical people.

Air to water heat pumps are off the shelf all over the world and are ideally suited to replace a gas boiler with hydronic heating. They can hit any temperature you want. They have been available for 20 years in the US and Asia. Piece of cake.

An excellent presentation and discussion. Very knowledgeable and informative.

Thank you for a fabulous presentation.😁👍

Excellent great to see the reality matched against the Hydrogen narrative

This is plain physics and common sense, what can people argue except protecting their investments/intesrests. Thank you very much for sharing.

What is missing is the possibility of huge grids. When someone considers hydrogen from Canada to Europe - it's cheaper to lay a cable for the same amout of power from Canada to Europe (it's not longer than existing HVDC-Links in China) , and the losses are maximum 10%, not 80%. And there is no chance that the situation "no wind" happens in North America and Eurasia/Africa at the same time, and the sun does not settle if the grids are connected over such distances. Technology exists, prices are reasonable, it just needs to be built. But noone talks about it.

I'm an absolute fanboy of Michael since following his podcast. His ability to draw threads together means he has a future in fabrics, should the energy thing not work out! A great choice of panellists, especially Kate's 'vox pop' insights - and that is not meant in any deprecatory way. I absolutely believe that we need to take on the vested interests not just with data, but with stories and narratives, because there is a reason 'social proof' is not far behind the hero section of every website. So many talking points, and my only regret is that YT transcripts are not user-friendly, because I want to pick this session apart!

An excellent presentation, although most of the basics heard elsewhere previously.. What appalls most over energy transition is the willingness of politicians to fund the absurd rather than the obvious, influenced by those who have a financial interest in maintaining the status quo, hydrogen and micro-nuclear being two glaring examples. The elephants in the room are conservation and interconnects,. I'd doubtless be vilified for still using gas in my 10 year old house, the fact that I'd reduced consumption by 80% through insulation would be ignored as progress because I'm still 'burning' stuff - Viz 20% is not good enough, it must be Zero, we really need an adult conversation. Distributed storage is the next big leap in thinking - Greg already highlighted vehicle to grid, add inter-connects to Europe and the potential is enormous....

Thank you for sharing!

Excellent lecture - a must watch!

Great Talk and discussion. Can't keep Michael down on H2!

Liebreich should go on Robert Bryce's Power Hungry podcast.

Brilliant lecture and panel discussion! Michael is a legend.

Fantastic Lecture, thank you.
