Hello Earthlings! In this week’s episode of "Earthlings 2.0," Lisa Ann talks to guest Joseph Pratt, CEO and CTO of Zero Emission Industries, on the potential of hydrogen fuel cells in decarbonizing the maritime industry. The episode delves into the groundbreaking work of Zero Emissions Industries and the positive findings that herald the viability of hydrogen as a sustainable power source for commercial vessels. Pratt shares insights into the challenges and opportunities of implementing hydrogen technology in the maritime sector, including the importance of infrastructure development and regulatory considerations. We also explore broader implications for the hydrogen industry, touching on ZeroEI’s innovative fueling system and its potential to address current infrastructure bottlenecks.
Join us as we navigate the potential of hydrogen to revolutionize marine transport, from the science behind fuel cells to the launch of the groundbreaking Sea Change ferry.
Restoring Our Faith in Humanity this week is Brent Hughes, a marine ecologist from Sonoma State University, Christine Angelini, a coastal ecologist from the University of Florida, and their team's significant research. Their work reveals how reintroducing sea otters to the California coast catalyzed the revival of dwindling coastal marshes, offering a hopeful narrative of ecological recovery. For a dose of cuteness and inspiration, don't miss the episode's video on YouTube, featuring delightful sea otter footage.
