In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas welcomes Gene Dedick, Chief Science Officer of H2Plus, who brings more than 35 years of expertise in water research, industrial chemistry, and advanced treatment technologies. Gene shares the remarkable story behind his team’s breakthrough discovery: using hydrated electrons to permanently destroy PFAS—so-called “forever chemicals”—rather than simply capturing or containing them.

He explains in clear terms how disrupting hydrogen bonds in water unleashes powerful hydrated electrons, capable of breaking the stubborn carbon-fluorine bonds that make PFAS so dangerous. With H2Plus’s patented process, Gene highlights how this technology achieves high destruction rates, cuts costs in half compared to competing methods, and produces no harmful byproducts.

Looking ahead, Gene explores how these innovations could reshape global water treatment—addressing not only PFAS but also pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and endocrine disruptors that increasingly contaminate drinking water. He also shares groundbreaking research showing the health benefits of H2Plus-treated water, including enhanced cellular energy and performance in independent university studies.

With a mission to make water safer and people healthier, Gene and his team are proving that science-driven innovation can help us tackle some of humanity’s most urgent environmental and health challenges.
