The Resolution under debate is:
Understanding that the Grey/Black Hydrogen in our current economy is indispensable for industrial processes and that any Green hydrogen made must be reserved for industry; “Be it resolved that there is a significant market for hydrogen in Medium & Heavy Duty Vehicles, marine, and air transportation".
Arguing in favour of the resolution is Matthew Klippenstein, P.Eng
A chemical engineer who’s worked in wind energy and battery generation but spent most of his career in hydrogen, he’s currently the Regional Director for Western Canada for the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association. An early guest on The Energy Transition Show (episode 15?) and occasional contributor to National Observer, he’s provided commentary for industry and general media outlets ranging from GreenTechMedia and successor Canary Media, CBC radio and television, NPR and BBC TV.
He may be contacted at mklippenstein@chfca.ca
Arguing in opposition to the resolution is Paul Martin a chemical engineer with decades of experience making and using hydrogen and syngas, including dozens of projects working for the world's largest designer and builder of pilot plants for the chemical process industry, serving an international clientele. He is a co-founder of the Hydrogen Science Coalition, a not for profit group of engineers who offer a science-based perspective about hydrogen's role in decarbonization from a position free of financial interest. He now practices as an independent consultant offering services through Spitfire Research Inc. and lives in Toronto. And, I think, he has the only Triumph TR6 EV conversion in Canada.

Good job Paul! Hydrogen is a dead horse for transport.

What does the voting choice of the wind farm owner have to do with anything?

People making hydrogen cars must be confident hydrogen is able to make itself.

It would have been a better debate if you had someone actually advocating for hydrogen. I could not follow the majority of his Matthew’s points. I agree hydrogen is DOA for most land transport, simply too inefficient which makes it too expensive. It ain’t gonna happen.

After a nine month search, through all the major hydrogen companies in western Canada looking for someone with the requisite background, Matthew from CHFCA was the only one who agreed to debate. We really tried.
