One of the biggest problems with clean energy is its unreliability–the wind isn’t always blowing, the sun isn’t always shining…. Colby DeWeese used his background in the energy sector to found a startup focused on using hydrogen as an alternative clean fuel. The biggest problem with hydrogen today is its inefficient production. With his new, more efficient process, he describes a world where renewable energy sources are used to create hydrogen, a completely clean-burning fuel to replace traditional fuels. Colby DeWeese started his career in oil and gas before shifting to hydrogen combustion technology. Along the way, he realized the biggest challenge in clean energy wasn’t making hydrogen work—it was making it make financial sense. Now, he’s developing new electrolysis technology to make hydrogen production as efficient and scalable as battery storage. With a background in chemical engineering and a master’s in oil, gas, and energy law, he brings a rare blend of technical expertise and industry insight to the future of clean energy.
