Green Hydrogen: The Promising Pillar for Renewable Energy

In the quest for a sustainable future, renewable energy has emerged as the key driver to combat climate change and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. While solar and wind power have gained significant momentum in recent years, another player is rapidly gaining attention: green hydrogen. This remarkable resource holds immense potential to transform the global energy landscape, and in this blog, we will explore what green hydrogen is and how it can serve as a vital pillar for renewable energy.What is Green Hydrogen?Green hydrogen is hydrogen gas produced through electrolysis using renewable energy sources. It involves splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from wind or solar power. Unlike conventional methods, green hydrogen is carbon-neutral and emits no greenhouse gases. It offers energy storage capabilities and has the potential to revolutionize industries, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and lower carbon emissions.Key Advantages of Green Hydrogen:Decarbonizing Industrial Processes: Green hydrogen presents a game-changing solution for industries that rely heavily on fossil fuels. By replacing conventional fuels with green hydrogen, sectors such as steel, cement, and chemicals can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and make substantial progress toward decarbonization.Energy Storage: One of the major challenges faced by renewable energy sources is intermittent generation. Green hydrogen offers an effective solution by acting as a versatile energy storage medium. Excess energy produced by wind or solar power plants can be used to produce green hydrogen, which can be stored and later converted back into electricity through fuel cells or combustion when demand is high.Transportation: The transportation sector is responsible for a significant portion of global carbon emissions. Green hydrogen can play a pivotal role in decarbonizing this sector by powering fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). FCEVs offer longer driving ranges and shorter refueling times compared to battery electric vehicles, making green hydrogen an attractive option for heavy-duty vehicles, long-haul transportation, and even aviation.Grid Flexibility: Green hydrogen can also contribute to grid stability and flexibility. During periods of high renewable energy generation, excess electricity can be used to produce green hydrogen. This hydrogen can be injected into the natural gas grid, blended with natural gas, or used directly for power generation during peak demand periods or when renewable energy generation is low.Embracing the Green Hydrogen RevolutionAs the world recognizes the vast potential of green hydrogen, the demand for renewable energy professionals who specialize in this domain is on the rise. Companies seeking to tap into the benefits of green hydrogen must engage with experienced and knowledgeable experts who can guide them through this transformative journey.At LVI Associates, we take pride in being at the forefront of the renewable energy sector, offering a comprehensive range of recruitment solutions to match companies with the right talent.

Interview & Hiring Guidance

โ€‹5 essential tips for employers, hiring managers, and HR on the hiring process in energy & infrastructure The interview process, from initial phone call screenings and psychometric testing, to face to face interviews with the hiring manager and onsite tours, can often be a long and laborious process. So it is imperative to keep an interview process streamlined and engaged, to ensure talent doesnโ€™t drop out, and your organization, and yourself is represented best. Here are 5 vital top tips for employers to stick to when interviewing top talent. Be present Showing excitement to prospective candidates provides insights for them into the potential team culture and attitude. Asking them questions about themselves, on their interests, their lives, their careers, as opposed to only technical questions to vet their hard skills, goes a long way in connecting on a human level. Another way to connect is by sharing real life examples of the day to day, positive experiences about the role and team, and details about project work. These are important talking points candidates like to know, and while they understand an interview may be rigorous technically, maintaining the conversational, human aspect is important too. Being engaged may sound simple, but given how much of the interview process is over Zoom/VC/phone these days, it is easy to get distracted and check emails or open windows on your computer. Remaining attentive and interested will bring the best out of the interview process and provide a positive candidate experience. Also important is to be interesting yourself. Be in sell modeMany of the above points are indirect examples of selling your team and role. However, in a more overt way, providing exciting opportunities at present and for future career growth are always on candidatesโ€™ minds and knowing there is more to be excited about than just hands-on skills or what is in the job description on day one makes them buy into the role and organization more. As part of selling the role, explain why you took this position, and what you liked about the company and team. Be relatable to their circumstances and share with them why the position in your team, at your company, is the best move they can make.Another important aspect to highlight here is the culture. Maybe there is more to what makes the role great than just the daily tasks or responsibilities, such as company sports team, lunch clubs, charitable groups, or environmental initiatives. Highlight what else is enjoyable so that candidates are excited about this role, as well as the team and company, aside from the day to day. These days competition for top talent is so tight, that those cultural differences can distinguish you amongst the rest.Be positive Many of the above points translate to this aspect of hiring, but above all, being cordial, professional, and sharing timely feedback all contribute to a positive candidate experience. In some cases, the candidate may not be a good fit culturally, or for your position, but you should still offer them professionalism and positivity in the interview. Remember, they may have colleagues or a network of other experts that could be better suited for your role/team. You want them to have a positive experience to refer people to you, and maintain your companyโ€™s reputation in the market, as well as your own. It's also important to note that many candidates often have other processes in the mix, so if you give them any chances to doubt their experience, they could be more likely to go elsewhere. Be flexible If a professional isnโ€™t the 100% right fit, still ask yourself if there is a place for them in the team or organization, especially if they bring something unique to the company. Keep an open mind when recruiting talent, and consider the future headcount. Potentially you can create a new role for an exceptional candidate, especially if you donโ€™t want to lose someone good to a competitor. See the positives in a candidateโ€™s skillset if they bring enough to the table, and find reasons to say yes, especially in this market. Outside of being flexible with the job description, can you also be flexible with the offer? Offering nuanced benefits, flexible working, and customizing offers to the individual joining can again make the difference between rejecting and accepting. Be decisive The market is still exceptionally hot, so it is vital hiring managers are mindful of how quick an interview process needs to be. โ€œKeeping someone warmโ€ is so important, but if you canโ€™t commit to them you do risk them going in another direction. Therefore, be timely with your feedback, especially if it's positive, to keep the momentum up. If they are at the top of your mind, you should stay at the top of theirs. Try and push approvals quickly as well. This is often bureaucratic but affect whatever influence you can have on an interview or hiring process, and donโ€™t allow things to slow down if you can control it.Finally, be competitive. Donโ€™t allow back and forth negotiations to hinder a process or allow time for other processes to catch up. Put your best, most competitive offer forward so it entices them from the very start. ย To hire the best candidate for your open role, get in touch with LVI Associatesย today.
