Plug Power’s Q1 Surge, EU’s Nuclear Delay & The U.S. Hydrogen Roadmap Revealed

On today’s episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we dive into three major stories reshaping the global hydrogen landscape:

🔹 Plug Power's Q1 2025 Earnings & New Liquefaction Milestone
Plug Power reports an 11% YoY revenue jump and commissions a 15-ton-per-day hydrogen liquefaction plant in Louisiana, scaling U.S. hydrogen supply. We break down the financials—including a $525M credit line and margin recovery—and explore what the 3 GW Australia deal means for global electrolyzer markets.

🔹 EU Delays Nuclear Hydrogen Classification to 2028
A new draft from the European Commission postpones labeling nuclear hydrogen as a low-carbon fuel. We unpack the technical, economic, and policy implications of this decision and how it could splinter Europe’s hydrogen market between pro-nuclear and pro-renewables states.

🔹 Unleashing U.S. Hydrogen Potential: RealClearEnergy’s Vision
A new article calls for the U.S. to embrace diverse hydrogen production methods—from CCS to geological and nuclear-powered electrolysis—to outpace China and lead the global hydrogen economy. We assess production costs, scalability, emissions profiles, and the policy levers that could make or break American leadership.
