Norway’s New Industrial Policy Pivots Away From Hydrogen For Energy

8 min read

In 2020, Norway jumped into hydrogen like it was the next North Sea oil rush. The government released a national hydrogen strategy full of ambitions and buzzwords, envisioning a country where blue and green hydrogen would decarbonize ships, factories, maybe even homes. In 2021, they doubled down with a hydrogen … [continued]

7 Projects Down In The Inevitable Death Of Hydrogen For Energy In B.C.

9 min read

It was never going to work. The CBC’s March 2025 freedom of information exposé confirmed what engineers, analysts, and every mildly numerate policymaker should have known: British Columbia’s grand hydrogen production ambitions were built on sand. According to briefing documents to B.C.’s then energy minister in September of 2024, at … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen’s High Energy Density By Mass Is Trumped By Low Density By Volume

5 min read

Hydrogen is often cited for its high energy density by mass — approximately 120 MJ/kg — making it appear to be an ideal energy carrier. However, this figure is frequently misunderstood or presented out of context, leading to misleading conclusions about hydrogen’s suitability for real-world energy storage and transportation. The … [continued]
