Ad van Wijk on the Hydrogen Masterplan for the Netherlands and Europe

The Hydrogen Leader Podcast73 minEnglish

Why watch it?

Ad van Wijk, formerly of TU Delft and founder of Ecofys, traces his path from wind energy research to the Dutch Hydrogen Masterplan drawn up as Groningen gas production declined. In this podcast he links his 2017 Green Hydrogen Economy report to Europe's hydrogen valley concept and the EU's 2x40 GW electrolyzer strategy, then weighs hubs, pipelines and imports against slow demand and complex regulation, arguing for a more phased approach. Note that he is assessing his own work.
