In this episode of the H2 Liftoff podcast, host Tim La Valle sits down with Andrew Cottone, founder and CEO of Aternium. Andrew details the company’s innovative, patent-pending business model that combines clean hydrogen production with deuterium (heavy water) isolation to significantly lower the levelized cost of hydrogen. He shares his entrepreneurial journey and explains how Aternium is tackling a critical U.S. supply chain vulnerability by establishing domestic deuterium production. Andrew highlights Aternium's pre-FEED study with Kiewit, their revolutionary integration of Honeywell’s AI-driven digital twin technology, and sourcing electricity produced by nuclear power through a power purchase agreement (PPA).

I hope you enjoy the podcast and consider following the H2 Liftoff Podcast to get the latest efforts to grow the Hydrogen Economy.

In this episode of the H2 Liftoff Podcast, host Tim La Valle sits down with Dr. Noris Gallandat, Co-founder and CEO of GRZ Technologies, to explore the transformative potential of metal hydrides in the hydrogen ecosystem.
