The EAH Team is back for Season 3!! And we decided that the best way to begin the biggest season yet of EAH is to bring a very special guest on the show to make a big announcement. Et voila! On the season premier episode, the EAH hosts are joined by the Governor of New Mexico Michelle Lujan Grisham. The State of New Mexico has the opportunity to lead the United States into the hydrogen era and the Governor and her team are poised to take the opportunity to make New Mexico the strategic center of the US hydrogen economy. The Governor is joined by New Mexico Environment Department Secretary James Kenney on the show to announce the forthcoming New Mexico Hydrogen Hub Act, which her administration expects to drive investment in the state, job growth in the energy sector, and catapult New Mexico to top of the list of states driving the hydrogen revolution.Sponsor Links:https://www.bayotech.us/https://www.bayotech.us/products-2Episode Links:Governor Lujan Grisham official bio: https://www.governor.state.nm.us/our-leadership/governor/Secretary James Kenney official bio: https://www.env.nm.gov/general/james-c-kenney/Article on NW New Mexico as hydrogen leader: https://nmpoliticalreport.com/2021/08/20/northwest-new-mexico-seeks-to-become-hydrogen-hub/

Welcome to the latest episode of EAH: Deep Dive! This week we have Christopher Jackson in the hot seat, as he catches up with BayoTech CEO Mo Vargas and BayoTech’s new President Michael Koonce to discuss the acquisition of IGX Group. Mergers & Acquisition activity has been growing in the hydrogen space, with commentators suggesting the market is maturing faster than expected and customers seeking more integrated solutions.

HyPoint's website lays out the problem clearly and succinctly: "By 2050, aviation will be responsible for 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions, up from just 10% today — unless we do something. We can not solve the existential climate crisis without zero-emission air transportation." As the world slowly emerges from lockdown and the pace of global travel accelerates once again, the aviation sector is rocketing back atop the list of the most highly carbon emitting industries. In just the past few years, hydrogen fuel cell technologies have emerged as the most promising path to a decarbonized future for aviation.HyPoint, led by its CEO and co-founder, Alex Ivanenko, is at the cutting edge of the industry's efforts to find zero-emissions aircraft propulsion systems that do not sacrifice speed and power in the name of sustainability. HyPoint is a leading producer of high-temperature PEM fuel cells for aviation applications including for logistic drones, air taxis, electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (eVTOLs), and fixed-wing airplanes. On this episode of the EAH podcast, the team speaks with Alex about the incredible pace of development and rapid innovation that he and his colleagues are driving in the hydrogen aviation space and how his company is leading the way in a highly complex and competitive race to decarbonize modern air travel.Sponsor Links:BayoTech On-site Hydrogen website: https://www.bayotech.us/BayoTech in the news: https://www.bayotech.us/news/bayotech-signs-agreement-to-fuel-greencores-1500-next-generation-hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered-ev-charging-stationshttps://www.bayotech.us/news/bayotech-partners-with-san-juan-collegeEpisode Links:HyPoint website: https://hypoint.com/New Atlas article on HyPoint FC testing: https://newatlas.com/aircraft/hypoint-prototype/Aviation Today article featuring Alex Ivanenko: https://www.aviationtoday.com/2021/03/02/hypoint-ceo-talks-new-hydrogen-fuel-cell-operable-prototype-electric-aircraft/eVTOL article about HyPoint FC application in eVTOL space: https://evtol.com/news/hypoint-advances-evtol-hydrogen-fuel-cell-system-with-working-prototype/

The transportation and mobility sector is vast, complex, unwieldy, and, most excitingly, an obvious area of focus for hydrogen fuel cell technology applications. Hydrogen FCEVs allow vehicles to run in a wide range of environments with zero tailpipe emissions and can do so without the need for extremely heavy battery cells and can be refueled in the same amount of time as a modern ICE vehicle. This makes hydrogen FCEVs an ideal fit for the heavy commercial transportation industry and is why Hyzon Motors has jumped at the opportunity to revolutionize the industry. The company has grabbed headlines all over the world with its ambitious plans for rolling out its trucks in the United States and other major markets. It has also made news with its recent announcement that the company is going public and has attracted significant investor interest. The EAH team is joined on this episode by Hyzon's CEO Craig Knight to talk about how the company is tackling some of the most significant challenges in decarbonizing transport and how it can make trucking a zero-emission operation.Sponsor Links:BayoTech, Inc. website: https://www.bayotech.us/BayoTech news: https://www.bayotech.us/newsLinks:Hyzon Motors website: https://hyzonmotors.com/Hyzon Motors news & announcements: https://hyzonmotors.com/media/Forbes article on Hyzon SPAC: https://www.forbes.com/sites/greggardner/2021/02/09/hyzon-a-hydrogen-fuel-cell-truck-maker-in-spac-deal-valued-at-21-billion/TechCrunch article about Hyzon manufacturing: https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/01/hyzon-motors-hydrogen-fuel-ambitions-include-two-us-factories/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHoTn-6mK-sOfFM8JMEk14Fy7Z6dQQYZ5-4pVM0v6D9mybZxeWZ4aNlLgburIcu0JxenQ8WYTFJZ4DsJcsOiUJ6pVjQAJb30kKF6jN0OfcU1AQbl4bjwJVRO37N7CESgmDH6S41mq9bzQP4HcKXmDzafMAHT8J9pU14F8leEf4Rw

Since 2014, when the firm was founded within Anglo-American, AP Ventures has been at the forefront of investment in hydrogen sector technologies. At the time the firm started, the concerns around climate change and investment in renewable energy tech was gearing up, but interest in hydrogen as part of the path to a decarbonized future was limited. The founders of AP Ventures felt differently and saw significant potential for hydrogen to offer a means for cleaning up highly carbon intensive sectors such as heavy transport, industrial manufacturing, and mining operations. Today, that vision for hydrogen appears rather prescient. We are delighted to have two members from the team at AP Ventures with us on the show today. The team is joined by Kevin Eggers - a founding partner at AP - and Michell Robson - associate on the firm's investment team.Sponsor materials:This episode is brought to you by BayoTech On-Site Hydrogen.
