In this episode, Karsten Radtke, Global Head of Technical Sales for thyssenkrupp Uhde joins us to discuss how gasification, blue H₂ and ammonia are reshaping the path toward industrial decarbonization. Karsten explains how syngas serves as a crucial bridge between today’s fossil-based systems and tomorrow’s H₂-powered economy, and how modern gasification processes enable the efficient conversion of feedstocks into clean H₂ and ammonia.

In this episode, we sat down with Balasaheb Darade, to dive into the vision, strategy and engineering behind the “Ultra Mega” gasification project being developed by New Era Cleantech in Maharashtra, India. We explore how the company is tackling one of the most ambitious industrial decarbonization efforts in the region, transforming coal into syngas and value-added chemicals while integrating carbon capture and utilization.

Joe McMullin, Oil and Gas Energy Transition Marketing Director, AVEVA, sat down with Hydrocarbon Processing to discuss various aspects of the energy transition, including what companies can do to prepare for it, how digital technologies are propelling decarbonization efforts forward and how organizations can future-proof their operations.

This episode explores how new advancements in H₂ leak detection are addressing safety challenges in hazardous environments. From offshore energy to aerospace, we discuss real-world applications, Industry 4.0 integration and the role of leak detection in advancing fuel cell vehicles and H₂ storage technologies.

In this episode, we sit down with Robert Ashman, Strategic Account Manager at TPC/PEI, to explore how PEI supports the H₂ industry. Robert shares expert perspectives on the critical design considerations for next-generation monopolar and bipolar plates, the innovations driving compact and efficient electrolyzer systems and why chemical machining is a key process compared to alternatives like stamping. We also discuss the bottlenecks holding back widespread H₂ adoption in the U.S. and the path forward for scaling this vital clean energy technology.

In this episode, we speak with Dara O’Neill, Global Sales Director, Clean Energy, Mott Corporation about advancing H₂ production through innovative filtration solutions. Learn how AFP Series filters, gas-liquid coalescers, porous metal sheets and custom-designed systems enhance ultra-high purity H₂, improve electrolyzer efficiency, tackle high-temperature gasification challenges and ensure reliable large-scale H₂ operations.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Alex Panchula, Vice President of Product at Electric Hydrogen (EH2), to explore how EH2’s HYPRPlant system is driving up to 60% lower installed costs for clean H₂ projects, what makes their electrolyzer technology stand out, and how their 1.2 GW manufacturing facility in Massachusetts is helping scale green H₂.

In this episode, we sit down with Scott McKay, Senior Vice President, Division Manager - Americas at ABB, to explore how ABB’s partnership with Charbone Hydrogen is shaping the future of clean energy in North America and beyond. Scott shares insights on the advantages of modular green H₂ production sites, the role of Québec’s Green H₂ and Bioenergy Strategy in accelerating progress, and the potential for similar policy support in other regions. We discuss how digital technology, automation, and cross-industry collaborations can drive the transition from grey to green H₂, optimize existing energy systems, and lay the groundwork for next-generation energy solutions.

In this episode, we sit down with Thomas Bertsch, Head of Process Industries in North America for Festo, to explore how automation is transforming the H₂ sector. Thomas shares insights on why automation is essential for scaling production, reducing costs, improving safety, and speeding time-to-market. We dive into the role of modular skid-based systems, the safety considerations of working with H₂, and how Festo’s SIL 3-certified solutions are advancing operational reliability. From the benefits of valve manifolds over traditional DCS systems to the innovations poised to shape the next decade, this episode offers a deep dive into the future of H₂ automation.

In this episode, we sit down with Will Latta, Vice President at BrightLoop, a division of Babcock & Wilcox (B&W), to explore B&W's chemical looping technology. Will provides an in-depth look at BrightLoop, a flexible and scalable solution designed to produce low-carbon H₂ and syngas while capturing carbon more efficiently than traditional methods.
