Everybody in the Pool

Episode 8: What if Planes Only Emitted Water


Listen Later

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we’re going big. Like, air travel big. Green hydrogen (that is, hydrogen produced using only renewable energy) is a super promising solution for powering rockets and airplanes, but one thing holding it back is a lack of infrastructure. As in, there aren’t hydrogen “gas stations” in every airport yet. This week’s guest is Paul Eremenko, the co-founder and CEO of Universal Hydrogen, a company creating a sort of “Nespresso capsule” fuel cell for plug-and-play hydrogen in regional jets. It’s a company with an ambitious vision that happens to be very doable. Let’s go.
