About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of chemical machining in H2 technology with insights from Robert Ashman of TPC/PEI.
In this episode, we sit down with Robert Ashman, Strategic Account Manager at TPC/PEI, to explore how PEI supports the H2 industry. Robert shares expert perspectives on the critical design considerations for next-generation monopolar and bipolar plates, the innovations driving compact and efficient electrolyzer systems and why chemical machining is a key process compared to alternatives like stamping. We also discuss the bottlenecks holding back widespread H2 adoption in the U.S. and the path forward for scaling this vital clean energy technology.
