Fuel Cells Were Ready, Hydrogen Was Not: Ryan Sookhoo Interview

ENERGY TALKS52 minEnglish

Why watch it?

Ryan Sookhoo, with about two decades at Hydrogenics, Cummins and EKPO, calls the hydrogen slowdown a correction, not a collapse. The binding constraints, he argues, are policy volatility, delivered fuel cost and infrastructure economics, not stacks or electrolyzer efficiency. Cheap production does not mean cheap hydrogen at the pump; uptime favors fuel cells in heavy-duty trucks; ports and data centers are the most defensible markets. Sookhoo works for a fuel cell maker, and US policy is part of the discussion.
