Early April 2026
Hosted by Karen Brooks, our Deputy Director 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.
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?
