Welcome to The 1895 Podcast

The 1895 Podcast is a new addition to gasworld Global Insights (GWGI), aiming to bring insights, news, and interviews for the industrial gases and energy sectors in a laid-back and conversational manner. The podcast is named after the year 1895, which marks significant milestones in the gases industry, including the liquefaction of air by Carl von Linde and the isolation of helium.   The podcast aims to discuss the key inflection points of the industry’s future – on a regional, technological and applications level – and its increasingly critical role in the energy transition of today and tomorrow.   In this episode, the 1895 team reflect on the outcomes of COP28 and the challenges and opportunities in the hydrogen industry. The episode concludes with an interview with H2 View Editor Charlie Currie, who shares insights on the hydrogen industry and the outlook for 2024.   Chapters 00:00 – Introduction to the 1895 Podcast 01:20 – The name of the podcast: 1895 05:47 – Goals of the podcast 07:00 – Decarbonisation and the gases industry 10:23 – The importance of 2030 and COP28 16:43 – Optimism for 2024 18:28 – Highlights from gasworld's Asia-Pacific Industrial Gases Conference 26:49 – Interview with Charlie Currie, H2View Editor 37:00 – Conclusion, future outlook & next episode preview
