The future of clean H2: Cutting costs and scaling for global impact
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Alex Panchula, Vice President of Product at Electric Hydrogen (EH2), to explore how EH2’s HYPRPlant system is driving up to 60% lower installed costs for clean H2 projects, what makes their electrolyzer technology stand out, and how their 1.2 GW manufacturing facility in Massachusetts (U.S.) is helping scale green H2.
Faster, cleaner, smarter: How modular H2 can transform energy
In this episode, we sit down with Scott McKay, Senior Vice President, Division Manager - Americas at ABB, to explore how ABB’s partnership with Charbone Hydrogen is shaping the future of clean energy in North America and beyond. Scott shares insights on the advantages of modular green H2 production sites, the role of Québec’s Green H2 and Bioenergy Strategy in accelerating progress, and the potential for similar policy support in other regions. We discuss how digital technology, automation, and cross-industry collaborations can drive the transition from gray to green H2, optimize existing energy systems, and lay the groundwork for next-generation energy solutions.
Scaling H2 production through automation
In this episode, we sit down with Thomas Bertsch, Head of Process Industries in North America for Festo, to explore how automation is transforming the H2 sector. Thomas shares insights on why automation is essential for scaling production, reducing costs, improving safety, and speeding time-to-market. We dive into the role of modular skid-based systems, the safety considerations of working with H2, and how Festo’s SIL 3-certified solutions are advancing operational reliability. From the benefits of valve manifolds over traditional distributed control systems to the innovations poised to shape the next decade, this episode offers a deep dive into the future of H2 automation.
Inside BrightLoop: Transforming fuel conversion and carbon capture
In this episode, we sit down with Will Latta, Vice President at BrightLoop, a division of Babcock & Wilcox (B&W), to explore B&W's chemical looping technology. Will provides an in-depth look at BrightLoop, a flexible and scalable solution designed to produce low-carbon H2 and syngas while capturing carbon more efficiently than traditional methods.
Ayrton Energy’s e-LOHC and the next era of H2 mobility
In this episode of H2TechTalk, we welcome Natasha Kostenuk, CEO of Ayrton Energy, to explore how their electrified liquid organic H2 carrier (e-LOHC) is tackling some of H2's toughest infrastructure hurdles. Natasha introduces us to Ayrton's innovative approach to H2 storage and transport, explaining how e-LOHC is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing fuel infrastructure, from pipelines to trucks and ships.
Sealing the future: Versiv’s advanced materials for H2 fuel cells and electrolyzers
In this episode, we dive into the cutting-edge world of H2 technology with an exclusive look at Versiv Composites. Frank Sonnenschein, Global Business Development Manager for Versiv Compoites, shares insights into their role at the company and the game-changing applications of PTFE films and advanced composite materials in H2 fuel cells and electrolyzers. We explore the critical performance and durability needs of H2 systems, including challenges in sealing, gasketing, and thermal stability—and how Versiv’s engineered materials deliver robust solutions. Learn about the decal transfer method for catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs), and the distinct material demands of PEM vs. alkaline electrolyzers.
Producing carbon-negative H2 from waste and biomass
In this episode, Dr. Robert Do, founder of SGH2 Energy, delves into the company’s groundbreaking work in producing carbon-negative H2 from waste and biomass—leveraging a proprietary technology with origins in the NASA space program. Spanning over two decades of development, the conversation highlights SGH2’s scalable modular approach, its readiness to meet demand, and the formidable challenges facing the H2 economy.
