Peoples Natural Gas is not just imagining a world with zero-emission hydrogen energy, it is actively pursuing it through a unique partnership with H Quest and the University of Pittsburgh's Swanson School of Engineering with promising results.

Tune in to TechVibe Radio this Sunday (7/14) to learn more from Peoples' Doug Bush about the pilot and innovative demonstration project in McKeesport that will attempt to create zero-emission hydrogen energy at the scale needed for widespread adoption.

Peoples installed one of H Quest’s proprietary microwave pyrolysis units to transform natural gas into pure hydrogen without CO2 emissions. The process creates what is often referred to as turquoise hydrogen. The process also creates carbon black: an industrial product used as a crucial component in batteries, paints, pigments, rubber products, tires, and more.

“How do we include more kids than ever in coding and robotics?”

This was the question Kelsey Derringer and Matt Chilbert asked when they formed CodeJoy in 2019. They imagined a program where learners feel welcome, experience success and interact with real robots from anywhere in the world.

Pittsburgh-based CodeJoy is an educational media company that produces a live, interactive TV show for students in the classroom, during which students learn to code, and then watch as the code they write controls the cardboard robot characters of the show live. CodeJoy also supports this with virtual teacher professional development. CodeJoy has served more than 10,000 teachers and 50,000 students nationally and internationally.

Kelsey and Matt step up to the One Mic Stand to talk about their passion of educating children everywhere and how starting it in Pittsburgh has made all of the difference.
