Show Notes

In this episode of Exploring Hydrogen, we are joined by MAN Energy Solutions’ Head of Power Sales Australia and Pacific, Timothy Meyers. Andy and Tim talk about MAN Energy Solutions’ energy transition as well as carbon intensity vs carbon colours and carbon’s value.

Tim’s Highlights:

1:25 MAN Energy Solutions the company 

1:58 – Marine sector emits 2-3% Global Emissions; MAN’s two stroke engine has a very large portion of this market and therefore has a very big role to play in decarbonisation

2:31 – Four major areas of green transitions: inputs, generation, transport and storage, as well as transitioning back into work

4:09 – How big is MAN Energy Solutions?

4:45 – Tim’s most passionate area – How do we reduce our carbon intensity? 

5:41 – Carbon intensity vs carbon colours

7:50 – Opens the conversation of customers adding a value on carbon intensity in everyday products

9:58 – Alternative fuels – looking at the four major areas of green transitions

13:10 – There is not one solution to the carbon dilemma 

14:28 – The grouped solutions will also need iterations of contracts and transactions

15:20 – Certifications 

15:40 – Carbon accounting instead of green accounting 

16:30 – Energy efficiencies 

17:24 – Deliver energy in a more carbon effective way – needs to be cost effective

18:25 – Bill Gates’ book – How to avoid a climate change disaster

19:10 – We need to live in today; so that clear actions are taken and started 

22:10 – Biggest challenge – At the moment there is no real value in reducing carbon intensity 

23:50 – Power industry and industrial industry 

24:00 – Power industry needs to ensure that they don’t have stranded assets 

25:05 – Industrial industry needs to ensure that they have a viable business plan

26:40 – First mover disadvantage 

27:25 – Cardon intensity needs to be part of the conversation

28:30 – There is a perception that hydrogen is going to be super cheap

29:00 – Cost of the projects and cost curves 

32:00 – Carbon equalisation tax structure

32:20 – Value the carbon itself

33:30 – What is Tim excited about? 

35:30 – Where does Tim see us in 10 years?
