Hi there, I'm Azim Azar, and this is the exponential view podcast.

Now, it was the first, and it's the most abundant, essential to the existence of stars,

planets, and life itself. Yet hydrogen has not featured extensively in our human energy systems,

despite many attempts over the decades. But today, with the demands to decarbonize our

energy system as significant as they are, and with novel technologies driving down costs,

it might be hydrogen's moment. Can hydrogen, let's face it so successful in our universe thus far,

find its way into our homes, industries, and the economy at large.

Raffi Garibedean is the founder and CEO of electric hydrogen, who set themselves the task of

creating cost-competitive hydrogen at scale. Now, we do use a couple of technical terms,

I want to spell them out. First is a BTU, which is a British thermal unit, the imperial measure

of thermal energy that is commonly used in the United States. Natural gases often use

as a comparison for hydrogen, its energy is measured in millions of BTUs.

Finally, hydrogen is created by passing an electric current through water, splitting hydrogen,

the H from the oxygen, the O. This process is called electrolysis, and like many companies,

electric hydrogen uses a new technology called PEM electrolysis for its higher efficiency,

and ability to better cope with the variety of operating conditions. Well, that's enough gasing

for me. Let's go on with the show. Raffi, welcome to exponential view.

Thank you, Azim. I never thought of hydrogen as a successful element, but that's brilliant.
