Building 110 Gigawatts Of Green Hydrogen with Warner Priest

About this episode

The episode discusses the engineering of large-scale green hydrogen projects with Warner Priest.

Dr. Greg Trainor and Neil Belford speak with Warner Priest, Midstream Director at InterContinental Energy, about engineering the world's largest green hydrogen projects. Warner explains the technical logic behind the 110-gigawatt Western Green Energy Hub and Australian Renewable Energy Hub—projects that could transform global shipping, steel production, and Australia's industrial base. He reveals why hydrogen pipelines are superior to long-distance transmission at scale, how seawater desalination requires less water than most imagine, and why green ammonia is the safest, most proven energy carrier for shipping.
