Parker, welcome.
There's an obvious need to decarbonize heavy industry.
What are the benefits of hydrogen?
Well, first, Georgie, thanks so much for having me here.
It's quite simple, actually.
When things are heavy, when they need to go long distances,
hydrogen is the answer.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element on Earth.
We can make it from so many different things, so many
different sources, and that combination of abundance and the
energy that it provides, the density it provides, allows us
to put it to use through fuel cells to create electricity to
let heavy things go a long, long way.
I guess in this current environment, geopolitical
tensions, economic difficulties, actually, it's almost perfect.
It is, yeah, it is.
Because every country has the feedstock available pretty
abundantly to create that fuel.
Anywhere there's garbage, we can create fuel from that and it can
be zero carbon. Anywhere
there's methane. A lot
this week is about methane leaks.
Methane leaks can turn into H2 very, very easily.
So it really is the most abundant national security of
supply you can have for fuel.
And the good news is that the technology is ready now.
I said almost perfect.
There are obviously challenges.
Infrastructure, of course, is one of them.
What are the challenges and how do you overcome them?
So it's a classic chicken and egg problem, right?
We have a lot of demand for zero-emission technology.
We have a lot of demand for fuel cell trucks that run on H2 fuel,
but putting in the infrastructure is a big
challenge.
So we work closely with our fleets and with fuel providers
to get that demand concentrated.
The key is concentration of demand that creates what the
fuel providers need to put in stations.
Talk to me a bit more, if you would, about the work that you
do at Hyzon.
Yeah, so Hyzon, we are a groundbreaking, zero-emission
fuel cell technology.
We make the fuel cell that runs on hydrogen that creates
electricity to power things that are very heavy, that need to go
a long way.
We have a 200-kilowatt single-stack fuel cell system
that is the industry's leading power-density fuel cell
solution.
That technology is ready now.
It's in trucks, it's on the road. We're decarbonizing
heavy-duty trucks today.
We're excited to be active on three continents.
We're putting the real solution into fleets' hands now and the
road in front of us is exciting.
There's a lot of work to do and that is partnering and creating
this ecosystem together with fuel providers to put more of
this technology in fleets' hands.
What is the future of this technology?
You said it's a a long road ahead.
Yeah.
What does it look like? In our view?
Again, anything that's heavy that needs to go a long way,
fuel cells should power.
And that starts with trucks today.
That will be in the future of ground vehicles and aviation.
It'll be locomotives.
It will be stationary power, mobile power.
And again, our view is there is a place for everything.
Battery electric has its place.
Sustainable aviation has its place.
But in many ecosystems, in many use cases, hydrogen fuel cells
are what we need to take those heavy loads, long distances on
the ground, in the air, and on the sea.
Parker thank you so much.
Thanks for having me.
