In the July 2025 issue of Hydrocarbon Engineering magazine, Babcock & Wilcox's Chief Technology Officer, Brandy Johnson, highlights the significance of embracing diverse hydrogen generation technologies and feedstocks to address emerging energy pressures. As hydrogen is expected to play a central role in the global transition to a low-carbon economy, increased demand for electricity and natural gas driven by sectors like data centers and electrification could create energy constraints. To navigate this challenge, the hydrogen industry can benefit from diversifying its feedstocks, especially when combined with technologies that facilitate efficient carbon management. Innovations such as B&W's BrightLoop™ chemical looping technology showcase how alternative pathways can yield low-carbon hydrogen while alleviating pressure on energy systems. By adopting an inclusive approach to feedstocks and technologies, the hydrogen sector can effectively address emerging energy challenges, support sectors that are challenging to decarbonize, and solidify its position as a cornerstone of the global low-carbon economy.
