About this episode

Dr. Jahan Kanga discusses the challenges of hydrogen storage and transport and how MOFs can significantly reduce costs.

Hydrogen's production costs are falling fast, but getting the gas from point A to point B remains the industry's overlooked bottleneck. Recorded live at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, Jim Watkins sits down with Dr. Jahan Kanga, CEO of Australian startup RUX Energy, to dig into why storage and transport are still the Achilles' heel of the hydrogen economy. Jahan explains how metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could cut midstream costs from $10-20/kg to under $1/kg, what their containerized Harmony storage unit means for maritime and off-grid applications, and why the regulatory conversation is finally moving in the right direction.
