The Only Way Is Hydrogen?: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Karen Brooks, Deputy Director, GW-SHIFT
The Only Way is Hydrogen? – Small molecule. Big clean future. Hosted by Karen Brooks, Deputy Director of GW-SHIFT and green hydrogen-curious newbie, The Only Way is Hydrogen is a 12-episode podcast exploring the real role hydrogen could play in creating a cleaner future. Across the series, Karen speaks with experts from local government, energy utilities, transport, industry, research, the arts, businesses and communities to cut through hype and explain hydrogen in plain language. Episodes explore hydrogen’s role in heating homes, transport, and industry; how it compares with electricity; what it means for cost, reliability, jobs, and everyday life; and what must change in policy and infrastructure to reach net zero by 2050. Rather than promoting green hydrogen as a silver bullet, the series focuses on evidence, lived experience, and honest debate - helping listeners understand where hydrogen genuinely fits, and where it doesn’t. Is hydrogen the only way - or just one part of the solution?
