Hydrogen gets a lot of hype in the media as a future technology, the “swiss army knife” for a decarbonised future. This week we chat with Tom Campey, Chief Commercial Officer from Hysata - a startup based out of Wollongong in Australia that has created the world's most efficient electrolyser technology (from the University of Wollongong).

In the episode we cover:

• The basics of hydrogen - from our own hydrogen expert, Alex McIntosh
• The role of hydrogen - where will it win?
• How an electrolyser works
• How the Hysata electrolyser is a gamer changer, their journey to date and how they intend to commericalise their technology
• When will hydrogen become commercial?
