Host
The Hydrogen Podcast

Paul Rodden has 20 years of experience in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), data management, and business development , primarily focused on the oil and gas and energy industries.  His recent professional associations include Silverbow Resources, Guggenheim Securities, Gulf Energy, and WSB Associates.  

Although his day-to-day activities have centered around traditional energy, the economics of the hydrogen industry have always interested him. In March 2020, he worked alongside Exxon’s hydrogen team to develop the world’s first commercial hydrogen dataset. During the dataset's development cycle, Paul gained unique insights into the hydrogen market and its rise as the energy transition leader. This led Paul to begin consulting on hydrogen opportunities and connecting operators and investors with potential hydrogen solutions.

He is also the host of The Hydrogen Podcast, where he discusses the industry's continuing development and gives unique insights into the market, overviews of hydrogen economics, and updates on new technologies in the space.

Workshop G: FCEVs vs. BEVs: Considerations for Fleet and Infrastructure Investments

As fleet operators and transit agencies transition to zero-emission vehicles, understanding the key differences between Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) is essential for informed decision-making. This workshop will explore the current state of the Fuel Cell EV market, its future growth potential, and the infrastructure needed to support hydrogen-powered vehicles. Attendees will also gain insights into the energy demands of FCEVs and the strategic considerations for long-term planning.

Key topics include:

Evaluating the Market Potential for FCEVs: Assess current trends, use cases, and future growth opportunities for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
The Future of H2FCEV Development: Gain insights into technological advancements and market forecasts for hydrogen-powered fleets.
H2 Refueling Infrastructure: Understand the current state of hydrogen refueling stations, projected infrastructure demands, and challenges to building a sustainable network.
Integrating H2FCEVs into Zero-Emission Fleets: Explore the costs, benefits, and funding avenues for adding FCEVs to your fleet, along with key strategic considerations.
Comparing BEVs and FCEVs: Examine the pros and cons of each technology, focusing on operational demands, infrastructure requirements, and long-term business investment strategies.

By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how FCEVs and BEVs fit into the broader landscape of zero-emission fleet investments, enabling them to make well-informed decisions about their fleet’s future.
