Jeff Grant is a pioneer in the fuel cell industry who after 16 years at Ballard Power Systems founded Zen Clean Energy Solutions 5 years ago to further implementation work of clean energy projects for various clients.

His company has worked with Sun Line Transit of California to electrify their entire bus Fleet to zero emission and as the lead partner of the Alberta Zero Emission Truck Electrification Collaboration (AZETEC) project. With AZETEC, Zen has worked with various regional partners to create a $15M demonstration project to create a Calgary to Edmonton zero emission heavy truck corridor using Hydrogen technology to test and validate a new Hydrogen Electric truck design to meet heavy duty performance specifications for the Alberta industry.

Zen has also brought their vision to the national stage as the lead author of the Government of Canada’s Hydrogen Strategy for Canada and continue to further bring to reality a zero-emission future.

Today we are interviewing Grace Quan, the CEO of Hydrogen in Motion.

A Vancouver based company developing a new innovative way to facilitate the storage and distribution of hydrogen, consisting of a solid-state tank system operating at low pressure for storing Hydrogen to be in used in multiple applications.

Using an innovative new nanotechnology to create a unique storage media that stores low pressure hydrogen like a sponge. These containers can be quickly swapped out or easily refilled.

H2M is currently working on 3 demonstrations projects, a hydrogen powered flying drone, a train locomotive conversion to hydrogen and deploying a 3 wheeled vehicle in India (Tuk Tuk style).

This company is getting ready to expand their production facility to meet a growing market. H2M is looking to connect with investors and companies looking to for a solution using the H2M tank system.

Join me today for our conversation with Joe Williams of Innovative Hydrogen Solutions, a company borne out of a commitment to reducing air pollution through technology.

Their Hydrogen Injection System is a compact add on system for heavy truck, standalone generators and marine diesel engines that dramatically changes the combustion dynamic to cause significant impacts on fuel consumption (15-35% reduction) and particulate emissions (86% reductions).

A transition technology available now, financeable, and produces significant maintenance savings.  A great example where investing in profit produces a reduction in environmental impacts, and with a Return on Investment of 9 - 14 months this is one worth considering.

A simple safe design, the system needs only some distilled water added to produce low volume levels of hydrogen that enters the engine intake to produce the desired and significant effect.  Already deployed on heavy trucks on Canadian roads, Danish Ferry’s, and hospital generators in Pakistan, we are talking about a proven and global product.

Welcome to The Road to Zero, a Future Proof Network podcast.  In this introduction we set the tone for this podcase and the conversations regarding the emerging Zero Impact Economy.
