Welcome everyone to today's webinar on the IA's Global Hygiene Review, 2023 edition. My name is Timo Gül, I'm the Chief Energy Technology Officer of the International Energy Agency and I'm truly delighted to welcome you all to today's webinar, which is in fact the second webinar of the day on our Global Hygiene Review. I'm joined here by the authors of this report, who will be presenting to you just in a moment the key findings of this year's edition of the Global Hygiene Review. Before we do that, allow me to give you some context that might be useful for the rest of the webinar. Hydrogen, and I'm sure this is all why you are also joining here today, is enjoying a lot of attention, public attention today. But as for many, many other clean energy technologies, from solar PV to electric cars, batteries, etc., the roots of hydrogen go back decades for RD&D and for policy. The IA has actually been working on hydrogen topics for a very, very long time. In fact, in 1977, just three years after the IA was founded, the member governments established the so-called hydrogen, or what is today called hydrogen technology collaboration program, to foster international RD&D on hydrogen. We here as the IA Secretariat, we have significantly stepped up our efforts over the last couple of years, particularly since the release of our landmark report, The Future of Hydrogen, which was published in 2019 at the request of the Japanese G20 presidency, and then in 2021, just two years ago, released for the very first time a new annual report to inform policymakers and industry about the developments in the hydrogen sector. That's the Global Hygiene Review that we are discussing here today. It is, in fact, our main publication when it comes to tracking progress in hydrogen production and use worldwide, as well as progress in critical areas such as infrastructure development, trade, policy, regulation, investment, and, of course, innovation. The report, just for the record, here is an output of the Clean Energy Ministerial Hydrogen Initiative, which is supported by more than 20 governments, and to which the IA is the coordinator. The report benefits enormously from its membership of this Clean Energy Ministerial Hydrogen Initiative, and so we are immensely grateful for the support we are receiving by the members. Now, before the colleagues present to you in detail the findings of this year's edition, let me highlight three main insights that I find particularly important from this year's edition. The first one is the very impressive pipeline of announced projects for the production of low emission hydrogen. It is increasing very, very quickly, particularly in the case of electrolysis projects that have increased in number, in size, and in terms of geographical diversity. There are plans to build electrolyzers in more than 100 countries around the world today. If all these announced projects were realized, then low emission hydrogen production could reach 38 million tons by the year 2030 from electrolyzers, but also from fossil fuels with CCS combined up from practically nothing today. Whether or not these projects will go ahead, and this is my second key insight from this year's edition of the Global Hydrogen Review is of course very, very uncertain. Only 4% of the announced production capacity has reached the stage of taking a final investment decision, and cost pressures, particularly the cost of finance, are making it more and more difficult to realize these projects, putting at risk the achievement of government goals in this sector. The third key insight that I wanted to highlight is the fact that we of course note and are very impressed by the huge scale of ambition to produce low emission hydrogen, in particular from electrolysis, but it's also in what our report also shows is that there is quite limited action taken to create the demand for this low emission hydrogen. Action to create demand, be it in existing applications like in refining or the chemical industry or in new applications such as steel or in other areas is currently lagging behind ambitions to produce low emission hydrogen. Now the hydrogen sector is extremely dynamic to track progress. We are not only producing our report the Global Hydrogen Review, but we are maintaining at the database of all low emission hydrogen production projects around the world. We started this effort back in 2019 with the release of our landmark report The Future of Hydrogen. At the time there was just a very modest number of projects that we could be tracking today. We released an updated version of this database on our website and it comprises now almost 2,000 individual projects worldwide. Given the importance of infrastructure for the scale up of hydrogen, we are also releasing for the very first time a database on infrastructure projects including hydrogen pipelines, storage facilities, as well as import and export terminals. In addition to the two databases we will also present on our website in about two weeks if everything goes well. Two new interactive tools, one tool to explore the database of low emission hydrogen production projects. The other one to visualize global hydrogen production costs for renewable hydrogen in particular so in order to allow you as users of our website to explore the sensitivity of key parameters on production costs for renewable hydrogen. Before I pass on the word to my colleagues just a practical note here after the presentation of the report there will be a Q&A session. Please use the question function in zoom to post your questions so that we can address them as they come in later in the Q&A. The slides of the presentation will of course also be made available on our website so you don't have to note down every single thing that is on the slide. You will have them available on our website. With that I hand over the word to my colleague Dr. Uwe Remer who is the head of the hydrogen alternative fuels unit and one of the authors of this report. Over to you Uwe. Thank you very much Timur and also welcome from my side. So let me start by providing also some context so if we're looking at low emission hydrogen political momentum has remained strong driven by the or boosted by climate ambition also aims to enhance energy security and more lately also industrial strategies to by major economies including also hydrogen technologies which can play an important part in these industrial strategies but if still this momentum is not turning into deployment. And if you look at the production side hydrogen is still being produced almost completely by innovated fossil fuels. This of course can change if low emission hydrogen overcomes the cost barrier that it's currently facing actually a huge number of low emission hydrogen production project is currently under development and if all these announced projects are being realized actually global hydrogen production by 2030 could reach 38 million tons. Governments have also started to provide funding to first large scale projects however the lengthy time like between the announcement of these programs and the moment in time when these funding becomes available for product developers is actually delaying investment decisions and the third point I would like to mention is that the cost challenge that we still see for low emission hydrogen has been exacerbated by inflation meaning we've seen particularly in the last year increases in costs of equipment like electrolyzers but also increase in the cost of financing. The situation is actually more worrying if you look at the demand side government action so far has very much focused on the production side and measures to stimulate demand for low emission hydrogen has actually just very recently attracted policy attention so this has led to a gap in ambition between the demand and the supply side. On the private sector side we see that companies have started to sign first off-take agreements but efforts remain still at a very small scale and these agreements are often also non-binding and preliminary and the third point I would like to mention is that we see that governments and other private sector have started to establish international cooperation initiatives for low emission technologies including also the aim to aggregate demand for hydrogen but the demand signals we're seeing from the initiatives is at the moment still unclear. So overall one can say that the adoption of low emission hydrogen as a clean industry feedstock and also as a clean energy vector is still at a very early stage and in this year's global hydrogen review we try to identify what are the key priorities on which governments and the private sector should focus on to turn the momentum into deployment and also to allow hydrogen to play the role in the clean energy transition in the future. So with that I hand over to my colleague Stravala. Thank you. Let's start with some positive news which come from the deployment of the electrolyzer. The installed electrolyzer capacity has been growing the last few years but starting from a very low base. In 2022 the global install electrolyzers capacity reached almost a level of 700 megabits which is a 20% increase compared to the previous year. The year 2023 shows a continuation of this growth with a huge jump in the developments based on the projects that have at least reached a final investment decision or they are under construction. The global installed electrolyzers capacity could more than triple comparing to the year of 2022 reaching the level of 2 gigabit by the end of 2023. Actually more than 400 megabits have already entered into operation since the beginning of this year. The leader on the electrolyzers developments is China. In 2020 the country accounted for less than 10% of the global installed capacity and this number is expected to reach the level of 1.2 gigabits by the end of 2023 which is half of the global electrolyzers capacity. The outlook for 2030 according to the announced projects looks much more impressive. Based on the announcements the global installed electrolyzers capacity could reach the level of 420 gigabits by 2030 which is an increase of 75% compared to the announcements that they were reported in the global hydrogen review of 2022. Regarding the size of the projects we observe that there is a trend on the development of larger electrolyzer projects. Today there are only two facilities in the world with installed capacities over 100 megabit. However in 2030 the gigabit scale represents more than 75% of the announced capacity. We should not forget that there are still a lot of obstacles and problems that we have to overcome. When we are looking at the maturity of the projects we can see that we are still far from realizing the full potential of the project pipeline. Today electrolysis projects that have at least taken a final investment decision account for only 3% of the total capacity of the announced projects. In addition more than half of the total capacity is still at the very early stages of development. The geographical diversity increases in parallel with the growth of the electrolyzers development. Overall a total capacity of around 14 gigabits is already committed which means that these projects are in operation under construction or they have at least reached the final investment decision. China and Europe are the leaders on these developments. China has committed today 14 projects with the size of above 100 megawatts which could be operative by the end of next year of 2024. Europe has a much larger number of projects committed but with considerably smaller sizes. Of course there are some exceptions like the Swedish projects called hybrid and H2 green steel projects and the Holland hydrogen projects which is based in Netherlands. In the middle east we are observing a much smaller number of projects committed but among them it is the neon green hydrogen projects in Saudi Arabia which is the world's largest projects project that has already taken a final investment decision. If we are going to take into account also the projects that they are undergoing feasibility studies or they are at the very early stages of development the pipeline of the announced projects spans to a much wider geographical coverage. Europe still accounts for around a third of the total project pipeline but projects are also developing various other parts of the world with good renewable resources. For example Australia and Latin America account each for around a fifth of the electrolyzer project pipeline and they are followed by Africa which accounts for around 10 percent of the electrolyzers projects. Now I'm going to give the floor to the next speaker my colleague Francisco. Thank you Sabruda. As we have just seen electrolyzers are attracting massive interest but they are not the only technology route to produce low emission hydrogen. The use of fossil fuels with carbon capture utilization and storage CCUS can also play a significant role in scaling up the production of low emission hydrogen. Taking into account both these production routes the annual production of low emission hydrogen could reach 38 million tons by 2030 and this is 50 percent larger than it was at the time when we released the global hydrogen review last year. Of these 38 million tons 27 million tons are based on electrolysis and 10 million tons are based on projects using fossil fuels with CCUS. When we look at the geographical distribution of projects we can observe some striking differences. Electrolysis projects have a bigger geographical diversity with Europe, Australia, Latin America leading in terms of announcements. In the case of projects aiming to use fossil fuels with carbon capture utilization and storage they are much more concentrated with North America alone accounting for half of the announcements and Europe following with about 40 percent. In terms of maturity we can see that a larger share of electrolysis projects are at early stages of development but despite this the amount of low emission hydrogen that could be produced from projects that are at least undergoing a feasibility study is 60 percent larger than in the case of projects based on fossil fuels with CCUS. When we look at committed projects both technology pathways are in a similar situation. In fact in total projects that have at least reached the final investment decision account for only four percent of the potential production by 2030. This may look small but in absolute term it has doubled since last year reaching about two million tons. The slow progress in project implementation is a consequence of barriers that could be expected in a sector that needs to build up complex value chains and these are said uncertainties about demand, lack of clarity in regulation and also a lack of infrastructure to deliver to the final users and all of them have been exacerbated by inflation and by the sluggish policy implementation. Focusing on the cost challenge inflation has in fact contributed to make this a barrier which is much more difficult to overcome. Inflation has gripped the global economy since 2022 significantly increasing the prices of both equipment and also the interest rates on loans. This had an impact on the economics of hydrogen projects with some projects that conducted feasibility studies before mid 2022 that had to rework their cost estimates and reevaluate their financial plans in order to accommodate for such cost increases and in some cases this was up to 50% in terms of cost increase with several factors at play here. The first one is that the installed cost of electrolyzer has increased significantly in the past few years due to increase in both materials but also in lower cost. The capital cost of the capex for an installed electrolyzer ranged between $1,700 per kilowatt and $2,000 per kilowatt with an year-on-year increase estimated at about 9% compared to the capital cost observed in 2021. Second, the cost inflation had an impact on renewable electricity projects which is the main electricity source for most electrolyzer projects. These two combined so the higher electrolyzer capex and the renewable electricity cost increase lead to a cost increase of about 20% for a renewable hydrogen project. However, the largest cost increases come from the rise in the cost of capital. Renewable hydrogen projects are in fact capital intensive projects therefore they are very sensitive to changes in financing cost. A 3 percentage point increase in the cost of capital raises today's levelized cost of hydrogen production by nearly one third. Cost inflation increases the gap between the available public support and the production cost and as a consequence public funds cannot be shared across as many projects because financing needs for individual projects become larger. However, with cost rising more slowly now the main impact may be delays to reaching the final investment decisions rather than cancellations of the projects and with that I end over to my colleague Christo. Thank you Francesco. On this slide you can see a global map of the anticipated production cost for low emission hydrogen in 2030 based on solar and wind power or a combination thereof and first we can state that low emission hydrogen can be produced economically on all inhabited continents. However, the achievable minimum production cost and especially the production volumes at low cost do differ. We do not see a global average for either solar or wind power when it comes to the hydrogen production cost given the right region and the right technology both technologies can produce equally cheap hydrogen. In some region it might be advisable to combine wind and solar power to hybrid power plants. In these cases the increased load factor of the electrolysis offsets the need for higher investments. This is very project specific though and also depends strongly on the cost of capital. On the expenditure side we of course expect decrease in costs due to the economy of scale and the maturity of the technologies but we also see regional differences. One example here might be China or the Indian subcontinent where a favorable combination of low investment cost with abundant renewable resources leads to very low hydrogen production cost. Globally we expect low emission hydrogen production cost based on solar and wind to drop down to as low as 1.5 US dollar per kilogram of hydrogen by the year 2030. The next slide focuses on trade of low emission hydrogen and we have brought you two figures based on our newly released or updated hydrogen project database. On the left hand side you can see the exporters. The projects have been chosen only with a specific export element and the countries have been aggregated to continents and we see that Australia is leading the pack here with 50% of the announced trade volume in hydrogen in the year 2030. On the importing side Europe is the biggest player with nearly 5 megatons of imports from all continents. However more than half of the projects have not defined any target country yet and this pattern becomes even more obvious when we have a look at the specific offtakers for the projects shown here on the very right hand side. More than two thirds of the projects did not disclose or find an offtaker yet which again underlines the discrepancy between the supply and the demand side that has been highlighted by my colleagues before. Looking at the forum in which hydrogen will be traded we can see that ammonia is responsible for the waste majority of shipped hydrogen. The amount of ammonia traded by the year 2030 according to our project pipeline accounts for three times the amount of ammonia that is being traded today and this focus on ammonia is down to two reasons. The first would be that ammonia has a certain demand today already which makes it easier to find offtakers and on the other hand the existing trade of ammonia means that port infrastructure structures and vessel fleets are already in place. However we also see some projects aiming at the export of liquefied or compressed hydrogen and also synthetic hydrocarbons. Overall the current pipeline suggests a global trade of low emission hydrogen by the year 2030 of up to 16 megatons which is an increase of more than 25 percent compared to our last assessment but still the progress of the existing projects is rather slow with only three projects having reached final investment decision stage so there is still a noteworthy uncertainty and with that i hand over to my colleague Megumi. Thank you Christoph. For hydrogen to become a tradeable commodity there is a need for harmonized certification regulation and standards. IPHE has finalized a methodology for determining the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production conversion and transport of hydrogen as a first step towards the development of an international standard by the ISO. In terms of certifications there are currently only voluntary guarantee of origin certification schemes that are operational in Australia, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands and Spain. These guarantee of origin generally label hydrogen produced from renewable sources or renewable electricity. The European Union and the United Kingdom have already established a regulatory framework on the carbon threshold on hydrogen. France, India, Japan and Korea are developing similar legal frameworks to differentiate hydrogen production by emission intensities. France defines hydrogen as low carbon for hydrogen with emission intensities under 3.38 CO2 equivalent per kilogram of hydrogen which is more stringent than that of the EU which is 3.4 kilograms of CO2 equivalent per kilogram of hydrogen. Japan's threshold is the same as the EU. India will differentiate hydrogen at 2 kilograms of CO2 equivalent per kilogram of hydrogen. As hydrogen markets have begun to reach a certain level of maturity, Canada and the United States have adopted a progressive scale that would still support the much needed hydrogen technologies and infrastructure with a gradual transition towards less emission intensive modes of production. In Canada, the clean hydrogen investment tax credit will cover 15 to 40 percent of eligible project costs with higher funding for low carbon hydrogen. In the United States, the Inflation Reduction Act included tax credits for clean energy technologies including hydrogen production. Renewable based hydrogen would enjoy double benefits from the clean hydrogen production tax credit 45 fee along with relevant tax-intensive incentives. Low carbon hydrogen will still gain advantage from either the 45 fee or the CCUS 45 Q. The divergence is in scope of the supply chain considered for accounting emissions. The threshold for low carbon and renewable hydrogen together with the eligibility criteria pose additional transaction costs for project developers. The need for mutual recognition of certification schemes was acknowledged in the G7 and G20 this year. Employing emission intensity for hydrogen production based on an agreed methodology could enable certain interoperability and minimize market fragmentation. Now I will hand the floor to our colleague Amalia. So we have been discussing about production, about trade and now I would like to share with you some insights about the transport infrastructure that will enable that this production actually reach the demand and also about the storage infrastructure that will make sure that even in the event of supply disruptions we can guarantee hydrogen supply and also that will allow us to handle fluctuations from renewable energy. So based on the announced projects on hydrogen transmission pipelines we could actually have around 30,000 kilometers pipeline already by 2030 and this will actually be in line with the needs of the IA's net city emissions scenario. Most of these projects have been announced in Europe but we have also seen relevant announcements in other countries such as China and Oman. And despite the fact that today we don't have any offshore hydrogen pipeline we actually see some announcements that are looking into offshore hydrogen pipelines especially around the North Sea, in the Baltic Sea, in the Mediterranean Sea and even potentially connecting North Africa with Europe. By 2050 the amount of hydrogen transmission pipeline that will be needed could reach up to 200,000 kilometers and this is equivalent approximately to 20% of the pipeline transmission length of natural gas today. So despite the good news of these announcements only 100 kilometers of pipelines have reached a final investment decision. This lack of final investment decision might be due to different reasons such as uncertainty in production and uncertainty in demand, a limited regulatory framework regarding hydrogen transmission that is being developed by some countries but also by the fact that hydrogen pipelines and in general gas pipelines have very significant economy of scales. They usually have capacity of around a few gigawatts. Nevertheless, as a good signal since the publication of the last global hydrogen review we have seen that countries have performed several calls of interest for example, Belgium, France, Hungary and one ongoing in Spain that are trying to first assess in a non-binding phase what's the interest for hydrogen transmission infrastructure to perform visibility studies and if successful this will be potentially followed by a binding phase to contract transmission capacities that will lead to final investment decisions. Regarding hydrogen underground storage infrastructure even if the red dot seems that there has been no announcement there has been some announcements by 2030 we could actually have around five terabyte hours of storage and this will increase to 30 terabyte hours of storage by 2050 but this falls well behind what is required or what will be required in the next emission scenario and to put it into perspective the current amount of a underground natural gas storage is 5000 terabyte hours so we are talking about very tiny amounts. The technologies that have been announced to provide this underground storage capacity will mostly be in the short term cell coverings due to their flexibility and in the longer term we also see investments in depleted gas fields which can play a very important role to guarantee security of supply nevertheless the technology is still not proof at a scale it has a low trailer level so it should first be proof at a scale in order to be realized. We have seen some projects for underground hydrogen storage none of them have reached a final investment decision nevertheless as with the case of hydrogen transmission pipelines during 2023 we have seen three calls of interest in France and the Netherlands to confirm the interest and to conduct some studies to assess the sizing of potential facilities. We should highlight that despite these announcements any infrastructure projects any gas infrastructure projects have lonely times so actually if we don't have accelerated action on an early planet we actually risk not to be on track for the next emission scenario. So this increase in low emission hydrogen production will actually require an increase on the amount of capital flowing to realizing these projects. In 2022 the amount of spending in low emission production projects and related infrastructure for conversion was one billion US dollar but in 2030 just eight years later in the next emission scenario this investment should be 120 billion US dollar just for the production and conversion of low emission hydrogen. This is a huge growth that actually implies a 70% annual growth in annual spending. My colleagues share with you what are the announced projects on electrolytic hydrogen amounting to around 28 million tons of hydrogen by 2030 of this amount around 20 million 10 million tons of hydrogen is planned in emerging economies this is around a third of the projects are planned in emerging economies so this means the significant amounts of capital should go to emerging economies in order to realize these projects but emerging economies have traditionally projects problems in attracting finance but already since 2022 we have seen several international finance activities that are trying to address this gap. More specifically we see that from 2022 for the first time there were some multilateral finance towards hydrogen production projects in emerging economies. We should highlight the finance provided by the World Bank but the European investment bank namely to countries such as India, Chile and Brazil and this money actually just during the first half of 2023 growth for four compared to the previous year reaching almost five billion US dollar. This money has mostly been made available to countries as loans for governments that they can spend to conduct feasibility studies to support capacity building or for project development. We see that less than 1% of this money has been available to countries as technical assistance grants or directly project equity and we have also seen some bilateral finance initiatives one of the largest one is from the German development bank that for example is creating a credit fund of 100 million US dollar for Chile. We have seen the pressing financing needs especially from emerging economies but we have more needs in order to realize the low emission hydrogen potential and these are pressing innovation needs. The degree of technology maturity varies widely between the different value chains of hydrogen. So for example for hydrogen production technologies they have relatively high technology maturity levels and they are commercially available and we are still having major innovation breakthroughs that are trying to look at decreasing costs improving efficiencies or reducing the reliance of critical materials such as for example ideal. But we can't say the same for end-use technologies especially for end-use technologies that are planning to use hydrogen and where there are very limited alternatives to achieve decarbonization so they actually have very low TRL levels. We use patents as a proxy for innovation more specifically international patent family that are patents that have been filled in at least two of patent offices. We can see that global hydrogen patenting is increasing and we have similar levels for production and end-use nevertheless as I mentioned before their TRL levels is very different. So actually for production technologies most of this patent growth is driven by electrolysis technologies account for around 70% of the patents in hydrogen production technologies but for end-use around 60% of the patents are due to the automotive sector which is growing very rapidly nevertheless the patenting in key sectors where we have limited alternatives is still very low such as aviation, shipping or steel. So while we could think that using patents as a proxy for innovation we have the innovation is having a fast pace this is mostly due to the fact of innovation in electrolysis and automotive sector and innovation is remarkably low in key end-use technologies and now my colleague Jose will continue providing additional insights. Thank you very much Amalia continuing on this last point about end-uses I will speak about the demand creation which has been one of the special focus of the of the report this year. As we have mentioned earlier in the presentation based on announced projects low emission hydrogen production could reach 38 million tons by 2030 which is quite in line with the sum of all the targets for low emission hydrogen production that governments around the world have been adopting in the last few years as you can see in the slide which account for up to 35 million tons. Now the question is who is going to absorb all this supply of low emission hydrogen without robust demand the producers for low emission hydrogen will not be able to secure off-takers and then will not be able to underpin the large-scale investments that they need to make their producer reality which jeopardizes the viability of the entire low emission hydrogen industry. We have assessed the demand that could be created by meeting government plans and we have realized that this is not sufficient to match their ambitions on the low emission hydrogen production side. Around 7 million tons of hydrogen demand could be created by 2030 with the policies that have been already implemented or enforced in the different countries. This could grow up to 14 million tons of demand if government targets are met but the vast majority of these targets still are not backed up by concrete policies and in addition only half of this demand is focused on existing hydrogen uses such as refining or chemical industry which are a better place to adopt low emission hydrogen in the near term. Governments have been cooperating with the private sector launching several international cooperation initiatives with the objective of accelerating the deployment of clean energy technologies in recent years and some of these initiatives have a significant activity on hydrogen. These initiatives can help in aggregating demand for low emission hydrogen but based on their current commitments within that they could create just between one and three million tons of low emission hydrogen demand by 2030. Moreover the real impact of these pledges still remains to be seen and the demand signals are quite unclear as you can see by this range between one and three million tons of potential demand. An important observation is that known of this initiative is focused on on existing hydrogen uses and the vast majority of them target new obligations for hydrogen. The private sector has already taken the first steps in the adoption of low emission hydrogen through off-take agreements. Although the activities are still at very small scale they could reach just around two million tons of low emission hydrogen by 2030 or this is what has been signed by the moment that we published the report at the end of September and actually more than half of these agreements are just preliminary with non-binding conditions between the two actors. On this topic of demand creation we would like to put the spotlight on the critical role that existing hydrogen uses can play in scaling up low emission hydrogen use. Switching to low emission hydrogen in existing applications such as refining on the chemical sector presents a much lower technology risk compared to new applications in heavy industry in transport or in power generation. This can be observed when we take a look to the production projects that have at least taken a final investment decision more than half of which are linked to existing hydrogen uses particularly ammonia production. The adoption of quotas or mandates for low emission hydrogen use in refining in ammonia production and in methanol production can unlock large amounts of demand and create the required economies of scale that can bring down the cost for low emission hydrogen production and then help the industry to reach prosperity with non-low emission production options. However we cannot forget about these new applications particularly those that we think that will be critical for a net zero future such as steel production, aviation or shipping. Adoption in existing applications should be the first priority but getting on track with our climate ambitions requires additional action on these new applications. In this case the demand pool policies like the quotas or mandates that I have just mentioned should be complemented with innovation and demonstration efforts since as my colleague Amalia has just explained in many cases the technologies that are needed to use hydrogen in these applications are still under development and with that I hand over to Uber for finishing the presentation. Thank you very much Yossi. Let me just finish by providing a brief explanation of some of the key recommendations that we published this year in the report. So to start with we've as I mentioned earlier we've seen that several support schemes for funding first large-scale projects have been announced but many of these support schemes have not been implemented or the funding has not been made available which is hindering investment decisions. When we look at demand government must take the lead and implement policies to stimulate action in the private sector combining support schemes incentives also regulations like quota mandates that require the use of hydrogen existing applications like the refining sector or the chemical sector. The private sector can also contribute by establishing international cooperation initiatives which are particularly focusing on aggregating demand in these existing applications that I just mentioned. Third point I would like to highlight is that governments should move continuing forward with the implementation of regulation and certification schemes based on the environmental attributes of hydrogen. Governments should also work together to ensure mutual recognition of certificates which could to a certain level also then enable interoperability of different certification schemes and referring to the referring to the emission intensity in this regulation certification systems is a kind of key enable or facilitates the opportunities for mutual recognition between different systems. When it comes to licensing and permitting of hydrogen projects governments should work to make these processes as efficient as possible also encourage coordination between different stakeholders to minimize the product lead times which can be quite long particularly if you think about or look at hydrogen infrastructure projects like pipelines or terminals and the last point I would like to mention is that government can also can take action to support product developers that are currently struggling under the impact of the inflation meaning increased equipment costs also increasing cost of capital financing costs so governments can provide for or can support developers for example through longer guarantees also public equity investments in projects. So with that said I would just like to highlight as I already mentioned at the beginning by my colleague Timogul that we've released today two hydrogen products databases the first one is our hydrogen production product database which tracks lower emission project low emission hydrogen production projects and we started this database actually in 2019 and the database now comprises almost 2000 projects which are differentiated by country by technology by project status and in addition we released also today the first time a hydrogen infrastructure database which provides information on infrastructure projects like pipelines blending hydrogen into existing gas pipelines also information on import and export terminals so that's kind of second database that we've released today and in around two weeks time we will also provide on our website two new interactive tools which allow to explore some of the data that we've presented you today so there's one tool particularly looking at the hydrogen product database where one can on a global map particular look into individual projects and the second tool which is focusing on the hydrogen production costs from renewables which also allow to to vary some of the key input parameters for low emission hydrogen production or renewable hydrogen production costs like technology costs also the cost of capital. With that said I will reach the end of the presentation we will just break for two minutes just to collect some of the questions that you've raised in the Q&A function and we'll get back to you with then we'll see discussion on these questions thank you very much. Okay thank you very much we will start I mean you can keep us adding questions we will try to address as many as many as possible we'd like to start with a couple of questions about the demand creation mentioning which is the the largest reason for the lack of demand for hydrogen and the policies that are how this can be stimulated something that we would like to clarify at the beginning is that there is not lack of demand for hydrogen we already have 95 million tons of hydrogen demand every year where we see lack of demand creation is of low emission hydrogen and here we have to differentiate in two options first of all is low emission hydrogen to replace existing hydrogen demand and second of all is low emission hydrogen to be used in new applications in the case of low emission hydrogen to replace existing demand the main barrier is the cost differential so today we need policies that can help users of hydrogen to access to that hydrogen at a lower cost so either providing subsidies on the demand on the production side or in the demand side policies like contract for difference, carbon pricing for increase the cost of non-low emission hydrogen and then in the case of new applications in addition of the cost differential with the technologies or the incumbent fossil fuels in addition to that there's also a technology barrier so as my colleague Amalai mentioned the technologies are still not completely developed or not commercially developed for the application then the next question which we have not addressed yet in the presentation is about the potential for white hydrogen potential in your outlook and whether it's still considered an academic research subject at this stage so okay where do you yeah thank you very much yeah we actually included a short section on white hydrogen or natural hydrogen in this year's GHR and I mean it looks of course if one looks at the status today of natural hydrogen I would say it's still at a kind of at an exploration phase trying to understand what are the resources in different parts I mean just this year or earlier this year in France and Laurent also some natural hydrogen was discovered some of the cost estimates by experts are quite encouraging I mean production costs in the range of one dollar per kilogram of hydrogen or even lower but of course one also has to be careful that we've not seen any practical production yet not yet any pilot project really extracting the natural hydrogen so for that reason we are a bit cautious in terms of relying say in our current assessments or scenarios on natural hydrogen but of course it's it's an important area to continue looking into and with technology innovation also with developing technologies to extract natural hydrogen of course the situation can change in the future thank you Ben for taking one of the questions about infrastructure do you have a view on hydrogen blading is to existing systems Amalia? So actually as part of the hydrogen infrastructure database that we are releasing we are also keeping track of the blending projects but we need to say that our view is that it has a very limited role and so far we have tracked almost 40 blending projects in in the distribution grids and these are really very small projects that could be considered to be a demonstration phase it could have potentially a larger role in some distribution grids which are currently using tone gas such as for example in Singapore, Hong Kong or Hawaii there low emission hydrogen can play a role but in other parts it's very very limited Amalia some other questions that we are seeing let me just those that have not been answered yet so which role IA projects for the production of low emission hydrogen from waste biomass yeah I mean we see some projects also being developed to use or produce hydrogen from from biomass also from from waste through classification there's of course we also see in Brazil recently also suggestions or approaches to produce hydrogen from bio ethanol so there we see some development being being explored to use to produce hydrogen from biomass it of course depends on the availability of biomass and also the cost of biomass and alternative uses for biomass so it's of course a question similar to hydrogen biomass it's a quite versatile energy carrier so it can be used in different parts of the energy system so the question is whether it should be used for for hydrogen production whether it should be used for liquid biofuel production whether it should be directly being co-fired in for example in the power sector to provide flexibility to the electricity system and I guess the the choice or the use of biomass very much and depends on the local circumstances what are the alternative opportunities in these different sectors or areas to to decarbonize to which extent one could use biomass and for hydrogen production so it's I don't have a very clear answer I guess as I said it very much depends on the on the local circumstances where it can be an interesting option to to pursue thank you we have a question about how to mitigate future increases in the cost of capital for hydrogen production for example government funding green from green bonds CFDs thank you for the question the cost of capital for hydrogen production can be decreased largely through government funding there are most of the projects and are largely initially funded by through government programs um the what else um the inflation may increase the the costs of capital so um to secure the hydrogen production supply chain by manufacturing domestically could potentially be a secure way provide a secure way to keep the initial costs as well as multi-lateral international banks have started to fund hydrogen projects in developing economies as well so that is another method that is being employed today thanks Megumi just a quick qualification for one of the questions so the data explorers should be available in the next couple of weeks that's the target but they will be announced on the IA web page same as our social networks and um maybe a last question because we only have a couple of minutes in developing countries do you think that it is better to start with domestic market on and then develop export market or on the contrary start with exports to lower prices and encourage the growth of the domestic markets amalia please so I want to share with you that actually next week the IA will release a special report especially the some of the world energy outlook especially looking into latin america where we will discuss the potential role that low emission hydrogen could play in the latin american and the caribbean region I have I can share with you some insights that will be available in this report and actually is we need both to go hand by hand first of all and the priority should be that low emission hydrogen especially is used to satisfy a domestic demand and it should be considered that for example in the case of latin america they are importing billions of us dollar per year on ammonia and anuria and this is creating a lot of market volatility and energy insecurity issues so low emission hydrogen have a very important role to play in the economy but at the same time low emission hydrogen offers a huge range of possibilities to export but also to export not only as low emission hydrogen but to create a added value exporting fertilizers exporting for example low emission steel and we think that emerging economies should explore both options but without forgetting that low emission hydrogen also has a role to play in increasing energy security in their countries thank you very much amalia and with that we finished the q&a session and i hand over to before finishing the the app with just one final qualification you can always reach us if you have no questions no answer or more doubts about the report at the email address hydrogen at ia.org thank you um yeah thank you very much you see and also of course thank you very much um for for joining our webinar today um yes you see just said more information is available on our website when it comes to the report but of course also i mentioned the the hydrogen product databases also the new tools being available in two weeks time so um yeah this concludes the webinar and i said i just would like to thank you for joining us um today and wish you very nice the rest of the day wherever you are thank you very much


Amen. So here we are in our Baptist Basics series. We're going to talk This evening about our Bible. So this series is about, you know, the fundamentals of our faith. Why? Why we believe certain things just talking about the fundamental doctrines, you know, we've talked about baptism We talked about all the different fundamental doctrines of Being a Baptist and what that means But basically what it means is that we just hold to the doctrines of the Bible And the Bible that we use is the King James Bible, the King James version of the Bible So this evening I want to talk to you about why we are and will always be King James only, okay? So first of all you know, you don't have to keep your place in Psalm chapter 12, but the Bible talks a lot about heresy, okay? The Bible talks a lot about heresy. The Bible warns about heresy. Turn to 2nd Corinthians chapter 2 Let's look at, you know, what the Bible says about heresies, when they'll come in, what to look for The Bible warns us about this in Several different places. So let's look at what the Bible says in 2nd Corinthians chapter 2. First of all So there's a lot to the King James version this evening I want to focus largely on the New Testament. Why the New Testament that we have Is the correct one and just some some methodologies and some things that happened and you know It's nothing new these things that have happened. It's nothing new The Bible tells us that these things are going to happen and it's just another way I want to also show you, you know, how we can know that the King James Bible is God's pure words, okay? Look at 2nd Corinthians chapter 2 in verse number 17 First of all the Bible itself warns us that people will try to Twist or pervert the words of God the Bible says in 2nd Corinthians chapter 2 in verse 17 For we are not as many which corrupt We are not as many which corrupt the word of God But as of sincerity but as of God in the sight of God speak we in Christ He says we are not as many which corrupt the word of God look first of all This whole idea you're gonna you're gonna get people that are scholars and PhDs and all this kind of stuff That really try to pull you in the weeds on how you know the Bible all they found all these different manuscripts that are from the First century, I mean that the first thing I want to get across to you is that means nothing That means absolutely nothing because the Bible was being corrupted in the first century I mean we just studied the book of Galatians and I mean that's exactly what was happening People were corrupting the word of God for we are not as many which corrupt the word of God It was already happening here turn to 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 just a couple chapters over look at verse number one Look what the Bible says therefore seeing we have this ministry as we have received mercy We faint not but we have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty not walking in craftiness Nor handling the word of God deceitfully look Paul's writing all these letters that later became You know our New Testament combined together people were already Corrupting his words they were already handling the word of God They were already handling his letters Deceitfully it tells you right here this I mean that's the point of Paul Why he was writing so many letters in many cases to just try to fix people that were changing The doctrines of the Bible as it was being as it was being written it was being corrupted You follow what I'm saying so this idea we found one that's older first of all You know did you or didn't you who really knows but I mean even if you did that what does that even mean? It was being corrupted as it was being written turn to 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 and I'll explain to you also how we can know you say okay? Well, it's being corrupted while it's being written. Well, how do you know what the right one is? I'll explain that to you as well second Thessalonians chapter 2 in verse number one Look what the Bible says now we beseech you brethren by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ And by our gathering together unto him that he be soon that he be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled neither by spirit Nor by word Nor by a letter as letter from us as the day of Christ is at hand So look turn to Galatians chapter 1. We just went through this Galatians chapter 1 Galatians chapter 1 look at verse number 6 Galatians chapter 1 in verse number 6 the Bible says I marvel marvel that you are so soon Removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel Which is not another but there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ But though we are an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you that which we have preached unto you let him be accursed As we have said before so I say now again if any man preach any other gospel unto you other than you have Yee have received yee by the way You know yee have received let him be accursed I'm gonna explain that to you to what yee means then you'll know so you won't be confused by the King James Bible Okay, but look he's saying here. I marvel that you are so soon removed Meaning he was just there and Somebody's already corrupting the gospel. I mean it was shocking to him So when somebody says oh we found an early manuscript. I mean what does that mean? You know what? I want to know. I don't want to know when it was found. I want to know what it says That's what I want to know Because that will tell us if it is if the Spirit is of God what it says so look The Bible also says this you say oh man You say how does the Bible even have a chance? I mean that's depressing, right? Isn't that depressing think about it think about you're living in the first century Just bring yourself back in time. We're all living in the first century Jesus has come Jesus has died on the cross all these things from the Old Testament have been fulfilled. I mean the Messiah has come here. It is we're out preaching the gospel We go to Galatia. We're giving the gospel. We got a good group there We planted a church in Galatia We leave and like a week later two weeks later We hear that somebody has come in and perverted our words and perverted the words of the Lord I mean imagine that's depressing. That's depressing. You're like oh how in the world is this Christianity is this gospel Gonna survive turn to Matthew chapter 5. I'm glad you asked How in the world would such a message if it's being corrupted by so many people?  I mean how does the gospel even have a chance? Well, guess what God's involved and he's made some promises here look at Matthew chapter 5 in verse number 18 Look, we would have no chance at the gospel surviving at the word of God surviving if God Didn't step in there would be no chance Matthew 5 18 for verily I say unto you tell heaven and earth pass One jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled turn to mark 13 Turn to mark 13. I Mean this is a really simple one in mark 13. Look at verse number 31 of mark chapter 13 The Bible says heaven and earth shall pass away But my words Shall not pass away Look, that's a that's a promise That's a promise heaven and earth all this will go away. My words will always be here Is what God says and it's repeated in Luke 21 33 turn to Isaiah 40 Turn to Isaiah 40 Isaiah 40 look at verse number 8 Isaiah 40 in verse number 8 The Bible says the grass withereth the flower fadeeth, but the word of our God shall stand forever Look that doesn't say the word of God will last for a while or For a couple of hundred years It says forever as long as man is on the earth Until God ends this thing According to this plan God's word will be available. It will be somewhere preserved is what the Bible says Look at Psalm 12 look at the front of your bulletin Psalm 12 6 through 7 The words of the Lord are pure words Look that means look so God says that my words Will never pass away.  He's talking to God directly In a singular form is what that means thou he's saying thou will keep them look God will keep his words and God has kept his words he's kept them here and We have them here. So here enter the King James Translation Here's what you had like King James the first in England I'm not going to get too detailed into the history of it But King James the first out of England in the early, you know the late 1400s to the early 1500s There was 54 men hand-picked by the king these were the world's leading experts on biblical scholarship and languages of The Bible of the let me just read a quote for you of the 54 translators Four were college presidents six were bishops five were deans 30 held PhDs 39 held master's degrees There were 41 university professors 13 were masters of the Hebrew language and 10 had mastered Greek the New Testament and Old Testament As that's referencing every man involved now This is important every man involved in the King James Bible translation believed in the verbal inspiration of the scriptures and Believed in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ In the final analysis the translators of the King James Bible believed that what they had spent nearly seven years of their lives Producing was an exact translation of the holy scriptures into the English tongue Okay, that's important That's important who they were what they believed what they used what they used for their translation So we're talking about you know using the Hebrew Maseratic texts for the Old Testament and for the New Testament They relied heavily on the textus receptors as it's known or the received text in Greek This is what these men used now the textus receptors is what I want to focus on this evening This was the work of desiderious Erasmus and it was published in 1516 so much it was already there. It was already published by this man Erasmus it was the Greek New Testament at that time now Erasmus He was Affiliated he was a Catholic priest people won't cut him up for that but look it is documented It is documented that as he studied the Bible. He became closer and closer to the Anabaptist theology Of the time it is documented that he was actually warned on occasions that he was moving dangerously close to the Anabaptist you know that you remember the Anabaptist the Anabaptist You know who that is It's these guys Who the Catholic Church was hunting down and killing? Because of largely their their refusal to move away from salvation by grace through faith and They would not add baptism to salvation. They would not add works to salvation So they were killed for it perhaps more than anything else. Let me read you a quote Erasmus began to advocate baptism by immersion after conversion some Catholic Though this was well-called an Anabaptist heresy by the Catholics and the Protestants don't forget It was simply Bible teaching the third edition of his Greek New Testament of 1522 different from the second only in its introductory notes there Erasmus advocated that Christian youth be taught biblical instruction first before they were baptized He even advocated rebaptism for those already sprinkled as infants Look this man not only did he move towards the Anabaptist or the Baptist theology or just what the Bible actually said he was Considered and still is considered by most to be the leading Bible scholar of that time. I Mean the man was incredibly smart So we have this Textus receptive that he produced that he published in 1516 that was used by the King James translators Okay, that's really what I'm not trying to get into the weeds. That's what was used for the New Testament It was the textus receptive Thousands of transcripts exist and 99% match the textus receptors even out even of transcripts to date Just think of the King James Bible in General folks you have thousands of transcripts that exist that match This New Testament you have a document written over 1500 years by 40 different human authors that did not that ranged from Kings to Fishermen to all sorts of other types of laymen and There's no contradictions so Why change it is the question Why change it the title of the sermon this evening if I had a title is motives and crimes Like before before there's a crime there has to be a motive, right? I mean before somebody commits a pre-meditated crime. They have a motive, right?  I didn't just go do that like I'm bored. Let's go rob a bank today No, I had a motive. I was in debt Something was going on where I needed money so badly that I just I was gonna it was worth risking prison For ten years to go rob this bank. I mean every pre-meditated murder has a motive Every single pre-meditated crime has a motive, but you know why they'll say they changed it You know why they'll say, you know to get rid of the archaic language That you'll hear that's what you'll hear today That's what you'll hear from people that are publishing modern Bible version after modern Bible version You know, we're getting rid of the archaic language is what we're doing We're getting rid of the these and the vows because that's so hard to understand Let me just explain the these and the vows to you in about 10 seconds Okay, the these thou and thee I mean basically thou and thee and ye or replaced in modern Bible versions by one word, which is you But I could be saying look you need to get your act together I could be talking to everybody or I could be saying You need to get your act together almost fell off the the stage Right, but look, I mean You can obviously if I say you need to get your act together you all know that I'm talking to you If I go up to brother Matt and I say you need to get your act together You know I'm talking to him because I'm here you can see my body language You can see who I'm pointing at but what if I just wrote that down Could you really tell who I was talking to? No, you couldn't so the vows and the these those are singular That's somebody talking to a single person ye is talking or you is talking to a group of people Okay, so by replacing. I mean was that hard? Okay, maybe that was 27 seconds or whatever But basically it's plural and singular by using you you dumb it down You know you take away some meaning there now look There's there's many specific offenses that are way worse than this, but this is just an interesting point here is that You've introduced some rounding errors. That's what we would call as engineers. Who knows what pi is what's pi? What's the number of pi does anybody know? 3.14159 wrong It's 3.14 is what most people think But you know if you actually do a lot of math with 3.14 and you don't go to 3.14159 You'll end up with a building or a bridge that's several feet short Because once you do all the math and plug it into all the formulas you need those extra three digits Out to those To that accuracy in order to make sure that things work right look you've just introduced you've dumbed down the Bible And you've introduced some serious errors That's just one small thing So I'm just trying to point out that the whole we're trying to get rid of the arcade language is ridiculous It's ridiculous. You actually make the text Dumber by doing that you take away detail from the Bible. Okay, so now Enter turn the Ecclesiastes chapter one enter the mid to late 1800 so the King James Bible in its first edition was published in 1611 now there were several other editions Punctuation spelling changes things like that. We're not going to get into that. It says the same thing though Okay, it says the same thing the 1611 King James Bible lasted up until 1850s and here come these two guys and they say you know what we have a new methodology to Interpret the Greek New Testament and interpret the manuscripts of the Greek New Testament turn to Ecclesiastes chapter one So first of all and I think most of you that go to this church Probably know this But whenever somebody comes to you regarding the Bible, they're like brother. I found something new Brother, I was reading the Bible last night and I found something that nobody else has found Just red flag folks red flag. This is what happened in the 1800s Okay, the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 1 9 the thing that hath been and the thing that shall be and that that which is done Is that what shall be done and there is no new thing under the Sun? You know that every single heresy That you can come up with for the New Testament whether it's Gnosticism or all these different versions of you know our Minianism and you know all these Calvinistic things this all came from like right away. I Mean this stuff popped up right away There's no new thing under the Sun. So here come these guys. We got a new methodology. We have a new critical Text methodology way to come up with a new Greek new text But first of all, you know what the best-selling book in the history of the world is the Bible Okay, so, you know you know how you could probably make some money by printing a new Bible You know it sells that's another reason right there, but look West God and Hort Brooke West God and John he's got a couple names, but just West God and Hort you can look him up They came up with a new methodology to come up with a new Greek New Testament And they actually called it the New Testament in the original Greek and it was published in 1881 This New Testament is the basis for all these new Bible versions and it dethroned look it dethroned the Textus Receptus and To many academics today it has still dethroned the Textus Receptus that was used to produce the King James Bible They used the Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus, you know to you know heavily use those two things those two Those two transcripts to make their Greek New Testament and these were these were thoroughly and quickly rejected by Erasmus You say you say why many people will say well Erasmus he he didn't have you know thousands and thousands of Of transcripts that he carried around with him everywhere But you know what he had he had a lifetime of studying the Bible and he quickly saw you know You can quickly see when you look at so if you are if you are studied in the Bible And you look at the Bible and you look at a new transcript of the Bible that someone says is the New Testament And it's just missing all these things That have like key doctrine like I don't know like the deity of Christ Missing from them. You're just like. Oh, yeah, this is garbage That's what he did It wasn't how many copies were available. It wasn't when it was written. It wasn't oh, this is from the first century It was what it said And that's why he rejected it These guys used it Okay, it was rejected by him there. They're called the fathers of the New Age Bibles Westcott and Hort. So who were they? Let's look at it. Let's look at who they were they found me and they founded this new way this new way I mean I mean that the King James Bible the King James Bible the Texas Receptus in Greek the foundation of the King James Bible in In English was you know, it was pretty much the only show in town. It was the only show in town for like 300 years So I guess God didn't preserve his word for 300 years And then these guys came along and they fixed that problem for God. Let's look at who they were Let's look at who they were because I think look I think their motives and their beliefs are important if we're gonna study this The first thing is this they were both they were both heavily involved in the occult It makes perfect sense to me once I get through all this it's gonna make perfect sense to you Who these guys are it's gonna make perfect sense They're heavily involved in the in the occult Westcott and Hort and Hort founded Several occult societies two of which were the Hermes Club and the ghostly guild Hort writes in a letter to his wife in 1864 about a party that they went to and they tried to do a seance and bring Bring spirits from the dead These are the guys that produced the the the New Testament in Greek that dethroned The text is receptive receptive. Are you kidding me? He speaks Hort speaks as late as 1880 About the quote fellowship with the spiritual world and the dominion which the dead have over us in his own words Here's Westcott Quoting on the infallibility and these are all letters that these guys wrote These are all written penned You know words from these men Westcott on the infallibility of scripture. I reject the word infallibility of holy scripture overwhelming Of course, I feel difficulties which at present I cannot solve in which I never hope to solve This we believe that this book is Infallible that it's pure that it's perfect that it contains no errors And here's the thing and I've said this many times I'll say it again if there's one error here Can I trust any of it if I find an error in this book? How do I know that there's not another one? If there's a if there's a when I say an error if there's part of this book that says something that Contradicts another part of this book I've got a problem So these guys it's ironic They didn't believe in the infallibility of scripture as they corrupted scripture. I mean define irony What doctrines do they attack the deity of Christ? I mean, it's almost like first of all I mean we ran into some of this cult stuff today.  I mean, are you kidding me? It's always the deity of Christ. I mean talk about nothing new under the Sun They were attacking the deity of Christ before Christ was even crucified. I Mean, are we surprised? Should we be surprised? Here's here's a here's Westcott on the deity of Christ He never speaks of himself directly as God.  This is liberal church USA right here John no, this is him again John meaning the gospel of John. I Mean, if you're gonna prove the deity of Christ to somebody where are you gonna go? the John one One Like the first verse in John John does not expressly affirm the identification of the word with Jesus Christ Just forget it man. You know, I mean what in the world turned to John one one. How about John 10 30? I And my father are one. I mean is that hard to understand? I mean people freaked out when Jesus said that you know why because you know what Jesus was saying. I am God I Say a nine six the mighty God. I mean one in the world. I Mean these guys don't even know what the Bible says or they reject what the Bible says. I think it's that one and They're and they're translating. They're giving us a New Testament. Oh, I can't wait John one one John John does not expressly affirm the identification of the word with Jesus Christ Okay, let's study this one out. Put your thinking hats on So he's saying that John does not connect but follow me here, okay? the word Jesus okay, he's saying John does not connect these two together All right, look at your King James Bible John one one Let me turn there hang on John one one in the beginning was the word.  Jesus equals the word equals God. It's all right there But John does not expressly affirm the identity. I mean what you know, this is on purpose This is what I'm trying to get you to understand.  I mean you think just wait There's more Turn to Revelation chapter 3 Turn to Revelation chapter 3 From Hort quote Revelation 3 15 might no doubt bear the Arian meeting the first thing created What he's saying there is the Arian meeting meaning Jesus. He's denying the deity of Christ He's saying that Jesus Christ was created that Jesus Christ was a created being This this this was first this was before Jesus was even crucified This is not original Turn to Revelation 3 15 in your King James Bible Revelation 3 let's start in verse 14 Revelation 3 14 and unto the angel of the church of the laodiceans Laodiceans right these things sayeth the amen the faithful and true witness the beginning of the creation of God I know thy works that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would be work cold or hot He says the beginning of the creation of God. He's translating that to mean that Jesus Christ was the first thing created. I Mean he's missing a fundamental Doctrine of the faith here and that is Jesus wasn't the first thing created Jesus was the Creator It was by Jesus by look and you need John for this so the fact that he missed John completely is just this heresy taken even further because the word was created or the world the earth Everything was created by the word Jesus is the literal creation turn back to John one Turn back to John one you say what do you mean? Jesus created the world.  He was not created But here's Psalm 90 in the NIV you say what does it matter? Here's Psalm 90 in the NIV now look at how look at how subtle This is look at how subtle.  They just I mean it's subtle But they dumb it down and they turn this in oh you it could just be God not the Creator Jesus Christ you see It's amazing how you can look at their beliefs You can look at their beliefs or more accurately their unbelief and You can see how they change the Bible. There's the motive There's the motive and we see the crime we see the crime today with all these these Bible verses Turn to John chapter 10. What do they believe about salvation? What do they believe about salvation eternal security? Look at John chapter 10 and look down at verse number 29 This one's so I mean it's so misunderstood. I mean the thought Quote this is from Westcott the thought of John 10 29 is here traced back to its most absolute form as Resting on the essential power of God in his relation of universal fatherhood Now here's a footnote. Here's here's what you say. I don't even know what that means. Here's what it leads to here's a footnote in the NIV Okay, are you looking down at John 10 29 where your King James Bible says this my father which gave them me is Greater than all and no man is able to pluck them out of my father's hand a Footnote in the NIV says this what my father has given me is greater than all What in the world? Like like who was given something in that in this case was Jesus was given something no no no we were given Jesus We were given Jesus and Jesus wasn't My father has given me what my father has given me is greater than all that doesn't even make any sense given Jesus He was Jesus was given something who was given something we were given something John 10 28 through John 10 30 is talking about our eternal security How nothing can make us unsaved how we are kept our salvation is kept by God and not us And they I mean it's talking about keeping you eternally not about giving Jesus something Look Jesus didn't come here to be given anything Jesus came here to do the giving Here's a here's another good one. This is from Hort From Hort I confess I have no repugnance to the primitive doctrine of Aransum paid to Satan Turn to Matthew 20 28 I Can see no other possible form in which the doctrine of Aransum is at all tenable Anything is better than the doctrine of Aransum to the father What in the world? He's talking about the ransom that Jesus paid was paid to Satan.  Is it fitting together for you?  I mean I know we don't have to go through this go to John 3 This is one of my favorite favorite verses go to John chapter 3 Go to I mean look if you don't get this About the Christian faith on who on what you are being saved from this is why we go through these verses John chapter 3 look at verse 36 This is one of my favorite verses in the entire Bible right here Because it is so clear of a picture to show people of what salvation is and what you must Do what you must believe to be saved he that believeth on the son hath Everlasting life and he that believeth not the son shall not see life, but the wrath of Satan abideth on him No, the ransom is not paid to Satan the wrath of God Abideth on him before you're saved.  This is what these guys believed. How about hell? Do you think I believed in hell?    That's what the but it's not confusing. It's terrible But it's not confusing Here's another one From Hort. We have no we have no sure knowledge of future punishment. I Mean and the word eternal has a fire far, okay Let me we have no sure knowledge of future punishment and the word eternal has a far higher meaning Okay, when people start doing this to you by the way when people who are really smart start doing this stuff to you Like they take normal simple words like eternal How many times have you been out soul winning? First of all, do we talk to really smart people out soul winning? Sure, we do right do we talk to some simpler people that aren't very smart out soul winning sure We talked to the whole range of people out there.  Like nobody how about everlasting How about everlasting? I mean these are complicated words, right? How long is eternal? That is a higher meaning. I've never heard that I've never heard that I've given the gospel to I don't know I don't even I'm not even gonna say a number So I don't you know try to like out spiritualize everybody. Okay, but here's the thing I've never heard anyone say they don't understand these words But no no no no it has a no you see you don't understand There's a far higher meaning Just gotta you gotta you gotta recognize people like like you know, I've worked with a lot of people like this You know, they couldn't they couldn't build a lawnmower They couldn't build a Lego Stack that's like over 12 inches tall But they're really smart and they're just like oh well the thing the BTU's of the thermal dynamics of their Q factor of this They don't even know what they're talking about Okay, it's a it's a it's a it's a methodology of trickery Okay on creation Here's Westcott have you read Darwin? This is his words. Have you read Darwin who was just right around this time by the way How should I how should I like to talk with you about it in spite of difficult difficulties? I'm inclined to think it is unanswerable in any case. It is a treat to read such a book He writes again, but the book which is the most engaged me is Darwin Whenever it may be thought of it It is a book that one is proud to be a contemporary with my feeling is so strong that the theory is Unanswerable the theory of evolution If so it opens up a new period. Could you please write me a Bible, please? You know can someone hire these two guys to write us a Bible? Here's Westcott No one this is a good one. It's long, but it's worth it. So just stick with me here Okay, Westcott states no one now. I suppose this is the late 1800s Okay, this isn't like 1992. All right, think about this think about the the corruption that's going on here No one now I suppose holds that the first three chapters of Genesis for example give a literal history. I don't know I do I Don't know I I'm just you know I'm pretty educated and I hold that the first three chapters of Genesis are a literal history of the world I Reject the fact that this world is billions of years old. I reject it I've looked into all of it all the dating all this stuff It's all flawed and the Bible has never been shown to be untrue As a matter of fact every single thing that they find and every single thing that they will find will just prove the Bible again And again and again This world is a little bit over 6,000 years old and that's the truth of it now No one I suppose holds that the first three chapters of Genesis for example give a literal history I could never understand how anyone reading them with open eyes could think they did Yet they disclose to us a gospel So it is probably elsewhere Are we not going through a trial in regard to the use of popular language on literary subjects like that through which we Want not without sad losses in regard to the use of popular language on physical subjects You see what these guys are doing They're using the language that they're using to make this New Testament to to feed their philosophies is what they're doing He's he's admitting it here. He's admitting it here If you feel now that it was to speak humanly necessary that the Lord should speak of the Sun rising It was no less necessary that we'd use the names of Moses and David as his contemporaries use them You see what he's saying now Now he takes it beyond the first three chapters of Genesis and says he's like there was no critical question at issue poetry Is I think a thousand times more true than history? He's saying even the stories of Moses and David are just simple poetry and As a matter of fact, he also said David is not a chronological but a spiritual person but These guys were heretics that were experts in Greek Is what was going on here and these men are the source of these modern English translations and This and this critical text methodology that has given us all these Bible versions that we have today Look the motive is clear and we can clearly see the crimes in all these Bible versions So to wrap things up. I'm going on too long here, but did God preserve his word?  You just have to believe that God can preserve his word I'm gonna explain it to you to believe the modern versions You have to believe this that God did not preserve his word for 300 years and that the King James You know because the King James Bible was the only book in town You have to believe that God just let his word just be and Then he miraculously started preserving it again when Westcott and Hort came along Using any and he did it using a couple of Satan worshipers. This is what you have to believe To not be King James only you can clearly see the agenda on these men's beliefs and you can see the agenda in their Translations, I just showed you just the tip of the iceberg Look Westcott and Hort, you've all seen it. You know that the new Bible versions. What do they attack? What do they attack? They attack salvation by grace their faith. What do they attack? They attack the deity of Christ What do they attack? They attack these major Tenants of the faith Westcott and Hort changed the Bible They omitted dozens and dozens of partial verses and dozens of complete Verses and over a dozen complete verses look turn to Revelation chapter 22 just the fact that they did this Just we read this to somebody today, too We read this to somebody today, too We read this to somebody to show them that the Jehovah's Witnesses when they're using their version of the Bible where they have just completely perverted the gospel Jesus Everything we use this verse look all I have to do with Westcott and Hort is this turn to revelation 22 and look at verse Number 18 the Bible says for I testify this though. These are the last verses in the Bible This is the last thing that God had to say like God has wrapped up the entire Bible like his Complete word to us that is eternal from eternity to eternity in both directions This is the last thing that he has to say to us right here for I testify under every man That here at the words of the prophecy of this book if any man shall add unto these things God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy God shall take away as part out of the book of life and out of the holy city from the things which are written in this book He would testify at these things say as surely I come quickly amen Even so come Lord Jesus the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all amen Interesting that he just you know throws it in that grace thing right at the end, too If any man takes away any look these guys are burning in hell Because they change God's word Just for that thing alone So let me just give you two parting thoughts here. We see the motive in the crime We see their beliefs and we see what they did you look I mean we see that Westcott and Hort They denied the fundamentals of our faith They denied it. There's their motive and we can put the King James Version of the Bible next to their translations and you can clear look there's some there's some people that have already done this They put King James version verses right next to modern Bible version verses and you can see the clear attacks on the doctrines You can see the omissions the changes and those omissions and changes they match Their doctrines of unbelief. I mean it's a great. It's a cool thing to see you can just see the motive in the crime right there And that's I mean that's the purpose of this the sermon this evening on the other hand the King James Bible You say oh people say oh King James. He was a wicked King. God used wicked Kings all the time I Mean God used wicked Kings to accomplish his tasks all the time and look Erasmus, you know people will always a Catholic and look but from the things I've read he began to match pretty close to Anabaptist or the Baptist theology as he read the Bible You know what that you know what that shows me you know what that shows me about this man aside from all his His scholarly reputation and how smart he was and how well he knew the language But his willingness in his own words to change his beliefs as he studied the Bible shows me where his heart was You'll see the same thing from Christians You'll see the same thing from Christians Christians that are willing to just change What cuz just as you get saved does that mean you know everything in here like bam you're saved that was simple Do you know everything in the Bible? No, but as you learn the Bible as you're willing to change your life You know what that shows your brothers and sisters and shows that your heart is right and Erasmus what his heart was right? He was willing to change as he studied the word of God. So look here's it. Here's the last thing. I want to tell you the King James version Versus the modern versions if it wasn't God inspired If it wasn't God inspired where are the errors? Where are the errors? Like I said 40 different authors over 1500 years no contradictions You know there is there's more of the transcripts that have ever been found. They match closer to the textist receptors than any other version of the Greek To the tune of 99 percent Look maybe these guys were geniuses these guys that maybe these 40 different guys were geniuses You know what there's a guy. There's a reason God used fishermen. You know that God used fishermen for the same reason that he only gave Gideon 300 men you follow what I'm saying He only gave Gideon 300 men because he said no no no no no no you're gonna win this battle and you're gonna know that I did it That's why you're not getting 10,000 men. You're getting 300 God use fishermen God use laymen God use sinners Because he wanted us to know that it was him Speaking and that is him preserving it and he wanted to know that it was his words not their words and That's why it all matches Over a thousand years or more It's him doing the preserving The new versions I mean there's contradictions everywhere. I mean it's crazy It's why it's why Erasmus rejected the Vaticanus and the Sinai Atticus almost immediately He's just like oh, yeah, this is garbage Because he knew the Bible Because he knew the Bible It wasn't it wasn't when they were written that doesn't matter when they were written or how many copies existed It's what they say It's what they omitted It's that they changed the word of God and you recognize that It was the doctrine That's why he rejected it. That's what matters the doctrine He had been studying the Bible his whole life and he recognized the errors As a matter of fact most clean I mean these new versions Most cliche contradictions that people will bring up like atheists and people that don't believe the Bible Most contradictions people did you know?  Did you know the Bible condones slavery? You know they're reading some stupid modern version that does condone slavery I mean I preach the whole sermon on on the difference between biblical servitude and you know Western world slavery men Steelers in the King James Bible Executed the do you know did you know that the Bible condones rape? Well the NIV does No, I'm serious. It does It says that if a man rape a woman then he has to marry her what in the world? In the King James, I mean what in the world who would ever want to be a Christian? You believe the Bible that condones rape The NIV does it literally says that You have to pay your father and marry her well that's good The King James says what happens to the guy? Oh, yeah, he gets executed you rape a woman you get executed I mean that's pretty close though right I mean Turn to 1st Samuel 13 Look these are where the next sermons on the King James stuff will come I'll just throw some of these things up there and we'll just go through it and we'll have a good laugh But what people use these new versions to actually attack the word of God? It's like don't I mean most most Bible contradiction, you know conversations I would say like probably 80 percent maybe 90 percent of them. You can just say oh you have the wrong Bible Conversation over Look, I've looked into all these contradictions. Okay. I don't want to say all them because there might be some that I haven't heard of but the vast majority of Bible contradictions are either people are using the wrong Bible or people don't understand the depth of the Bible Those are the two things right there. Look at Look at first Samuel chapter 13 a very controversial verse in the English standard version I'm gonna read it for you. I Mean there.  You don't have one in front of you I'll read it for you. Saul lived for one year and then became king Anyway, it rained for two years over Israel. So Saul chose 3,000 men of Israel Saul was one year old baby when he became king and you believe that Saul was a baby when he became king Give me an army Where's my passi? He can't even he probably can't even talk when your kids start talking. I haven't had the little kids for a while Maybe he was really smart. Where's my passi? Give me an army King James Bible you have the wrong Bible. That's your problem Saul rained one year and when he had rained two years over Israel Saul chose him 3,000 men of Israel. Oh Oh Yeah, I thought he was a baby It's crazy Here's the thing here's the thing when I'm trying to get at Satan didn't do a perfect job of translating the Bible God preserved his words. Okay. God's words are pure that Garbage is not and it's easy to see because you know most of the Old Testament stuff Look the New Testament stuff's pretty heavy doctrine twisting and I mean there's some of that in the Old Testament too But there's a lot of stuff in the Old Testament of the New Verses. It's just dumb It's just a clear mistake Like it just clearly they just didn't know what they were talking about or didn't know what they're doing or whatever Or they were just lazy. I mean Saul lived for one year and then became king Okay But look Satan didn't do a perfect job of translating the Bible That's God's job to preserve his word and Satan didn't do a good job But he made mistakes doing so what this isn't anything new either. This isn't anything new go to Genesis chapter 3 Go to Genesis chapter 3 This isn't anything new either You know, there's nothing new under the Sun with these with this Westcott and Hort It's just it's almost like, you know, just it's tiring It's tiring. It's the same thing again and again, you know who did it first Satan himself Verse 24, I'm sorry verse number one of Genesis 3 1 now the certain of it was more subtle That means he was sneaky that means he didn't just come out and say stuff He didn't just say hey God said this but do this. I want you to do this so I can get you in trouble No, here's what he said he said he was more subtle than any beast of the field Which the Lord had made and he said to the woman yay half God said You shall not any eat any tree of the garden. Yeah, that's what God said first of all, but he's trying to cast doubt on The word of God right here. He's trying to cast doubt on God's word You know, he's trying to do he's trying to cast doubt on Jesus You know what he's trying to do with these modern versions of the Bible. He's trying to cast doubt on Jesus Christ That's what he's trying to do That's I mean, there's nothing new The King James Bible is proof of the King James Bible I'll tell you the analogy again if I find you say how is that that's circular logic? But here's the thing if I find a machine if I find a machine in the woods and the machine Can can produce energy like nothing I've ever seen before and I and I go and I take the machine to engineers and scientists And they look at the machine and they say this machine is Defying the laws of physics. This machine is a miracle. Why because it works We know it's working because it's working. We can measure it. We can test it. We can look at it We can try it We can try the words of this book. We can read them with the Holy Spirit within us We can try it. We can look for content. There is none There is none and you look at the machine and then we look at the back of the machine And it says invented by you know, Bob Jones in 1892, you know, we're probably gonna believe that Because of the fact that the machine itself works The machine is proof of the inventor is what I'm getting at the King James Bible and the miracle that it is is Proof that God preserved it. Does that make sense? What's power heads and have a word of prayer?
