In this episode of The 1895 Podcast we explore the challenges facing the hydrogen industry and ask: where did it go wrong?

Despite years of momentum and investment, companies are scaling back, projects are being delayed, and financial struggles are mounting. We break down the key factors behind this shift, from economic pressures and policy hurdles to infrastructure gaps and off-take uncertainty. With expert insights from our recent Electrolysers webinar, we examine whether this is a temporary slowdown or a necessary course correction for a more sustainable hydrogen market.

While setbacks dominate headlines, the discussion also highlights pathways forward. From smarter business models to strategic funding opportunities, we explore what it will take to push projects to final investment decisions and beyond.
