The wide adoption of AI is transforming not just technological capabilities, but the human talent that drives the industry forward. To remain resilient and competitive in our modern age of disruption, energy leaders must revisit their talent strategies to prepare for the world of tomorrow. To achieve success, they must facilitate close collaboration between human experts and AI agents. While remaining inclusive of the traditional skills associated with the energy industry, leaders must develop a technological skilled workforce including expertise to guide and interpret AI process to oversight and validation roles. Energy companies must take real steps to realign their talent pools and seek a blend of human expertise with machine-driven intelligence to unlock real operational value.

Accelerating the hydrogen market is a formidable challenge, one that parallels the maturation trajectories of sectors like liquefied natural gas (LNG) and solar. Demand-pull strategies, such as the requirement for a certain percentage of hydrogen used in specific sectors to be green, can fuel demand and encourage investment in production facilities. At the same time, policy mandates can reduce investment risks by establishing clear targets and regulations – factors that are particularly important in the early stages of technology development and infrastructure expansion. Additionally, subsidies, tax credits and carbon pricing mechanisms can be leveraged to reduce the green premium of hydrogen production. For instance, the section 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit implemented as part of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act may have been one of the most competitive incentives globally, but it remains to be seen whether administration-related changes will impact its roll-out. In any case, effective policy mandates have the potential to significantly accelerate the transition to adopting hydrogen as a clean energy carrier.
